Live Bonus Workshops

(only inside our marketing membership)

Stop relying on one-off projects. We’ll break down different recurring revenue models for designers including retainers, memberships, creative direction, ongoing content support, VIP days, & passive offers so you can build more stability into your business.

Recurring Revenue Roadmap

You’ve spent the summer building visibility, trust, & momentum. Now it’s time to review what’s working, identify what’s still holding you back, & create a clear plan to help you reach consistent multi 5-figure months, six figures, & beyond with intention.

Booked Out By Design

Learn how to generate demand that makes clients want to hire you instead of waiting to be discovered. We’ll help you identify events, guest features, & opportunities that actually fit your brand then turn them into clear action steps you can execute.

Generate Demand Workshop

You’ll turn one real client moment into a post that actually creates demand, & you’ll hit publish before we end the call. Visibility is vulnerable, but the designers who learn to market their work are the ones people remember.

Visibility Lab

Build the kind of brand people trust before they ever inquire. You’ll create a 3-post trust-building series, learn what actually makes clients feel safe saying yes, & map out simple outreach strategies to reconnect with past clients.

High-Trust Framework

"Can't I just listen to the podcast without attending the workshops?"

If you've been listening to business podcasts for months (or years) and you're still not where you want to be, the problem probably isn't a lack of information. It's a lack of implementation.

Hot Designer Summer isn't about learning more. It's about finally doing the things you've been putting off: posting content, raising your prices, marketing consistently, and getting visible.

Our live workshops are where excuses run out and implementation begins because booked-out designers don't just consume information. They act on it.

let's do this

You totally can but if simply listening to podcasts was enough to build a successful design business, you'd probably already be where you want to be.
