BEYOND
DESIGN
You’re good at what you do. It’s everything else that gets a bit much.
Clients, pricing and the awkward conversations.
Giving your best without giving all of yourself.
Deadlines, school runs and life admin.
Faith, confidence and finding your direction.
Building a business you still want to wake up to.
The work.
The business.
The life around it.
Because design is only 20% of freelancing. The rest? It’s the mindset, the boundaries, the confidence, the “I want to quit” days and the “I nailed it” days.
you just need to keep showing up.

Want to know why I talk about this stuff like I’ve lived it? Because I have. Come see.

Across Kunshuis,
we put those conversations into practice — through my living tools, the shop, membership and Bible plans.
It all comes from the same place:
helping you do the work you love, with room for a life you love too.
Hi. I'm Nelett. I’m a graphic designer, wife and mum, working from my home studio in Namibia. I’ve been designing since 2004 and running Kunshuis since 2010. And goodness, the lessons have gone far beyond design. Clients, money, motherhood, faith, knowing when to push and when to stop. This podcast is where I share what I’ve learnt and what I’m still figuring out. Because behind every service business is a person, and how you’re doing matters too.

You've heard me say design is only 20%. This tells you which part of the other 80% is letting you down. Pricing, positioning, briefing, boundaries, money, admin, how work reaches you, and who you've got around you. Ten questions scores all eight.
Welcome to the table — you belong here.
