Designer and architects who have made the jump from consultancy/studio to brand/client side, what's your reasons and how have the transition been?

So i have been fortunate that i have managed to go through my career without the need for a degree. I was lucky enough to have been hired by one of the worlds top consulting firms, worked with a whole lot of big clients and travelled a lot.

In the past, developers would build web pages from scratch or, with help from frameworks like WordPress or Drupal, created upon HTML code from the web browser.
