We recently connected with Adam Wright and have shared our conversation below.
Adam, so great to have you with us and we want to jump right into a really important question. In recent years, it’s become so clear that we’re living through a time where so many folks are lacking self-confidence and self-esteem. So, we’d love to hear about your journey and how you developed your self-confidence and self-esteem.
To this day, I can tell you that I still lack full confidence. I’ve always been shy, introverted and more quiet. However, when it came to owning and running my own business, I was forced to break out of that. You have to be able to show confidence in your work and expertise, otherwise how do you expect prospects to want to work with you?
Overall, I would say the biggest factor in helping me gain more confidence is just time and experience. The more I talked, the more I built websites and created designs, the more confident I became in my craft and knowledge.
I look back 10+ years ago when I first started, and I stumbled on my words constantly — but now, I can take on just about any meeting about any topic, and feel confident that I’ll have an answer to respond with. Additionally, I have continued to perfect my skills and am so much more confident in what I offer.
Let’s take a small detour – maybe you can share a bit about yourself before we dive back into some of the other questions we had for you?
I’m Adam! And I’m a creative individual at heart — I’ve always enjoyed expressing my creativity in whatever it is. As a result, I turned my love and passion into a business.
In 2012, I started my career as a graphic designer, working for various clients in skincare, motorsports, restaurants, and more. I grew my clientele, and eventually expanded my design skills from print to the web.
Fast forward to today, and my agency Adam Wright Design is thriving in Middle Tennessee, where I’m thankful to have loyal clients for nearly a decade help share and refer my business. We specialize in offering custom designed websites, branding, and ongoing website care and maintenance. When it comes to your online presence, we are constantly learning, improving and staying aware — this includes understanding web accessibility, legal policies, and core web vitals for site performance.
In a world of fast-changing technology, nothing will replace the human touch, and I am confident that AWD offers solutions that are cutting edge, modern, and compliant. We stand out from the rest because we truly CARE about our clients, and give 110% in everything we do.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
I’d say these are the three most impactful things that helped advance me in my personal career: community, practice, and communication.
If you’re able to find a great community of like-minded individuals just like you, in the same industry, you can surround yourself with similar experts and learn so much from one another. My experience in joining a community just like this has helped me grow in my knowledge, expertise and networking.
Secondly, practice practice practice. There is no other way that will beat getting better than putting in the work. The more you do it, the better you’ll be. So hands down, as every year goes by, I continue to get better — and nothing can replace that.
Last but not least, I believe having a strong presence in communication can help set you a head above the rest. So often I would hear of clients working with other designers that they simply just couldn’t get a reply, or it would take them 2 weeks to do a tiny task. If you are able to be responsive, communicate, and deliver, you are going to separate yourself very quickly from the majority of others.
One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
Right now, AWD is in search of two types of folks to partner with: SEO specialists, and Marketing Agencies.
I would love to partner with a local SEO specialist that I can bring in on our web projects to help my clients in this area that I’m only a novice in.
Additionally, AWD offers white label design services for Marketing Agencies, so if there are any that have an abundance of work they would like to outsource, I’d love to chat!
