I have been actively submitting proposals for the past month. While some have been viewed by clients, I haven’t received any responses or follow-ups. In each proposal, I clearly outline my experience, deliverables, timelines, and pricing.
I would appreciate any guidance on where I might be going wrong or how I can improve my approach to increase client engagement and response rates.

More on Borhood,
The home page I initially explored was'nt enough. It lacked craft and direction.
I redesigned how the cards are experienced and how much information they convey.
its been fun building this project in public with y'all and I'm open to new projects and collaborations.
What’s the one thing your proposal is missing that’s costing you clients?
After being on the other side and reviewing a bunch of proposals… I had a little moment lol
Everyone is trying to explain everything. Every deliverable, every phase, every detail. And I get it… I was doing the same thing.
But when you’re actually hiring someone, you’re not reading all that.
You’re just trying to feel like “ok they got this”
That’s it.
So now I’m thinking about proposals way less as a place to explain and way more as a place to position. Less “here’s everything you get.” More “here’s why we’re the right fit”
Now I’m curious… what’s one thing you’d change about your proposal right now?
This reframe hit hard — "less here's everything you get, more here's why we're the right fit." Proposals as positioning, not essays. I'm updating mine this weekend!

Title: Visual Clarity Framework for Deep-Tech 🛠️
Description: Complexity is the enemy of execution. This framework is my strategic approach to simplifying deep-tech workflows and high-level simulation data. By focusing on Information Hierarchy, Flow Optimization, and Visual Retention, I help founders turn dense technical roadmaps into high-impact visual stories.
As a 16-year-old Visual Strategist, I don't just 'design'—I build systems that drive faster decision-making. Every element is crafted to ensure that the message lands instantly, whether it's for an internal team or a global CEO
Goal: Proving that 'Fresh Eyes' can simplify the world's most complex systems while building my Dream Laptop Fund.
