Ariel Okin on why her firm doesn’t shoot every project, how a switch to hourly billing has made the firm more profitable and how her presence in the project process is changing as her businesses grow.
Ariel Okin’s early look at the industry inspired her to structure her business with a clear separation of the creative and operations teams. She also built a media empire, complete with a digital platform, a podcast and in-person events for design enthusiasts. On this episode, she shares how she stays open to new ideas, what it means to be a leader, a new experiment with delegating, and how writing her first book shaped her outlook about the firm’s next decade.
