Instead of sharing miscellaneous workshops I’ve done on design business subjects, I’ve created a whole module dedicated to what the heck to do after you finish Camp! I’m including everything I wish I knew about the design biz when I was starting out, and I’m answering my most asked questions from creatives in every topic.

Week 1: Choosing a potential niche or ideal client
Week 2: Try another potential niche
Week 3: Narrow down design style & niche
Week 4: Design website for 1 brand from weeks 1-3
Week 5: Design website for 1 brand from weeks 1-3

These briefs are meant to act as both Portfolio-builders and also hands-on practice to help you figure out what your niche is, your design style is, and what you might want/not want to include in your services. I’ll be providing individualized feedback on the designs to help you reach your ideal style, skill level, or audience.

To make sure you’re getting top-notch experts, I’ve invited some fellow creatives and friends that I love and trust to come speak on their specialties!
