You didn't get into design to feel like you're always hustling for the next client.
You got into it because you're good at this. Because you love it. Because somewhere in the back of your mind, you knew this could be something real.
But right now it probably looks more like: refresh the inbox, wonder if you're charging enough, take the project anyway, deliver more than you promised, and start the whole cycle over.
Here's what I've seen after working with 750+ designers and selling 8,000+ Showit templates: the problem is almost never talent.
It's that no one ever showed you how design fits into an actual business.
This masterclass is where that changes.

You don't need more talent. You need someone to show you how this actually works.

You've watched other designers charge $3k, $5k, even $10k
Photography, design, templates, social media, stationery — but your income still feels like it depends on who happens to find you that month.

Here's what we'll cover live:
Why some designers stay stuck at $300–$800 projects
It's rarely skill. I'll show you what clients are actually evaluating when they choose a designer — and what makes them choose the higher-priced option every time.
What clients are really buying when they hire a "brand designer"
Hint: it's not a logo. Once you see this, your pricing and confidence both shift — immediately.
What your website needs before it can convert inquiries
Not more pages. Clearer messaging and one specific type of portfolio that makes clients reach out already pre-sold on working with you.
A simple project structure that makes clients trust your work
So instead of endless revision rounds and "can you try one more version?", you're the one confidently leading the project.
Where most new designers waste time — and what to do instead
I'll help you focus on the few actions that actually lead to consistent inquiries, so you stop spinning your wheels on things that don't move the needle.
No guessing. No content hamster wheel. Just a clear, practical first step.

here's what we've noticed
They feel stuck because no one ever explained how design fits into a business.
So they keep tweaking their portfolio, watching tutorials, second-guessing their pricing — while quietly assuming everyone else just figured it out.
They didn't. They just found the right framework first.
Most creatives don't feel stuck because they lack ability.

We built our first Showit template with zero formal training, no web design degree, and genuinely no idea what we were doing.
We started with one offer. One client. One messy, meaningful project.
Over time — through 750+ design clients, 8,000+ templates sold, and co-founding the Rising Tide Society — we figured out what actually moves the needle: what helps designers book better clients, build real confidence, and grow without burning out.
This workshop is us handing you those foundations. You're not getting everything. You're getting the first step — and it's the one that makes everything else easier.
Anyone can build a thriving design business, whether you're starting from scratch or scaling what you've already built. We did it from square one. You can too.

Yep! This is a one-time, live masterclass. Not another dry, pre-recorded webinar collecting dust in a funnel somewhere.
Will it be live?
Yes — we leave time at the end for Q&A, and you can submit questions during the workshop.
Will you answer questions?
About an hour. Enough time to walk through the process clearly, without taking over your entire day.
How long will the class last?
Sign up anyway — you'll get access to the replay. We do recommend showing up live if you can, because there's a bonus waiting for live attendees only.
What if I can't make it live?
ANSWERS
Got questions? We've got
This is for creative people who enjoy design but aren't sure how to turn it into a real business. Maybe you make things in Canva for friends, have thought about freelancing, already take small projects but feel unsure what to charge, or just wonder how designers actually get clients.
You'll leave understanding what brand designers really do, what clients expect, and what your first practical steps would be.
Who is this class for?
Nope. We built our business from zero design education. If you're creative and curious, that's the only prerequisite.
Do I need design experience?
