Join the coolest, most supportive bunch ever!
If you're sitting at your desk about to send a fee proposal and you'd just like to run it by someone else first?
Or have you ever had a client dilemma and it just doesn't feel right but no one you know understands (except for the dog)?
And do you wonder why you're not raking it in when you're practically living at your desk, busting your creative chops 'round the clock?
These are the things we're diving into with a small group of designers just like you. And so much more....
Find your trusted business buddies
There's nothing like gathering around a table IRL or virtually with other designers that GET IT. In this program, we do both.
When you've been in business for 5+ years you get to know the aspects of your business that you love, and those you don't.
We're working on bringing you better clients and charging more, hiring smarter and getting your projects published.
When you haven't got loads of projects under your belt, it's hard to know how much to charge, what do deliver and just know if you're 'doing it right.'
You are not alone. We have ALL been there. So why should you make the same mistakes that I have?
Here's your chance to really start your business on solid foundations.
Lets get you on the right path to success
You’re tired of doing this alone.
You've found your support crew of like-minded women.
You’d like to be attracting your ideal clients and working on projects that bring high reward — both financially and creatively.

IF YOu'VE EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF:
“Why am I working all the time yet not charging enough?”
“Hourly or flat fee? And how do I know that I'm charging enough?”
“I wish I could photograph my projects but they are all too 'bitsy' and the client kept changing things. Now the spaces are not worth shooting.”
“Why doesn't my client trust me? It's so frustrating when they are so confused and keep changing the design.”
“I just need an outside perspective since I'm way too close to my business to think clearly right now.”
“My clients asked about trade discounts. But I don't want to pass on my trade prices. Send help!”
THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
