Choosing clients is definitely the key, if you're able to. And as Joshua mentions in his article, projects with which you maintain a long term relationship with are the best. <strong>Joshua</strong>, thanks, I'm glad I could contribute.

I like how you point out that its easier to justify design decisions when you're in the target audience: "I immediately know when the design is solid, and I can easily justify design decisions when they are questioned." Since so much of design is justifying decisions, this is a really important point. Thanks for pushing the discussion further. Thanks for the mention, Henry.

Love the Henry Ford one! Choosing clients is key in having some love and ownership of the project. Unfortunately, most clients that give you the freedom don't have the budgets either.
