Ditch the overwhelm. Start your dream design biz with clarity


You’re a skilled designer—and now you’re learning to wear the business hat, too.


But as you start dreaming about leaving your 9–5—or leveling up your side hustle—it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by all the “business-y” things: proposals, taxes, marketing, systems… where do you even start?


This free blueprint cuts through the noise and walks you through the exact questions you need to clarify first—your offers, goals, audience, and niche—so you can stop spinning your wheels and start building a business that brings you both freedom and fulfillment.

(Been there. Learned the hard way.)

here's the thing

Most designers jump straight into doing all the things, but skip over the foundational questions that make every next step easier.

What you'll walk away with:

Clarity around your offers, based on your unique skills and interests

A clear understanding of who your ideal audience is and how to reach them

A plan to build a portfolio that attracts the kind of work you actually want

Direction on how to define your niche and stand out in the design space

I left my 9–5 over 5 years ago and built a one-woman design studio that’s brought me freedom, travel, balance, and a client roster I love.

Now I’m sharing the very first step that helped me get here—so you can build your own version of success, too.
