Yes, but my clients are federal. They're usually thrilled to not have us there taking up precious office space. Only problem though is being able to actually complete work since we can't remote into fed machines from firm laptops, and the overwhelming majority of us don't have client laptops.

The only project I was on that had reduced travel so far was for a Procurement function. They were very frugal and could no longer pay for their people to travel or ours. They reduced travel to only once/month as a result.

Yea, in fact my current client budget doesn't allow for us to travel every week. It works out to be approx 4 weeks onsite 1 week remote. Reason being we've already established a trust with the client but mostly they are just cheap AF

When you get stuck on a design or when you are starting a big project, what are your creative processes? Do you look at colors? inspiration? Pen and paper? Illustrate something? Want to work with my designer on a toolbox of steps to pick from to find what works best for their individual creative process? I know my creative process is look at inspiration, pen and paper, then start designing, but I don’t want to assume that’s theirs too.
