Don’t Take My Word for It

Hear from students who went through the whole process, and be inspired by their transformation.

Thank you so much for sharing your process with me. The way you explained it simplified everything in a way that makes total sense. The biggest value in working with you was talking one on one and going through the process together. It allowed me to fill in the gaps I had in my design process and really just fall in love with design again. Now I have an easy-to-follow, streamlined process that I can keep repeating with my own clients – and the confidence to take a step back and do things my own way. I enjoyed my experience with you – I learned so much!

Don’t Enroll in This Workshop if...

you’re not 100% committed

You need to be fully committed to the From Strategy to Design workshop if you want to see results. If you’re not ready to do the work, it doesn’t make sense to waste your time and money.

you don’t want to charge more for design

If you adopt the process we cover in this workshop, your clients will feel seen and heard, you’ll spend less time on revisions, and you’ll be able to charge more for your work.

you’re not ready to invest in yourself

To take your business to the next level, you have to invest in yourself. It will take time and effort to master the process. But when you do, you’ll have a skill for life.

To get there you need to allow the time to master the process. It won’t happen overnight. It took me 25 years to get here. Now it’s your turn to learn in a month what I achieved in decades.

Frequently Asked Questions

What project am I going to work on during the workshop?

You can either work on your own brand or your client’s brand. It’s completely up to you.

What programs do I need to be familiar with?

In our sessions we work in Miro, an online collaborative whiteboarding platform. You don’t need to be familiar with it. Your homework can be done in any program you’re comfortable with. The homework templates are done in Illustrator and InDesign. We’re also going to gather images and share a folder on Pinterest.

How much time should I spend on homework?

You should spend around 6-8 hours a week including the 4-hour workshop. Design needs time to grow and evolve. It’s not a once and done thing, it’s a process that requires some space and reflection. Each session is built on our previous session and your homework.

If I would like to learn more about a certain topic, are you open to teaching me?

Absolutely!!! This is one of the primary reasons I’m running the workshop one on one. I want you to get as much as you can from the process and interaction with me. I’m here to teach you what I know and what you want to learn.

How is this 1:1 workshop different from other courses?

I chose to run From Strategy to Design as a 1:1 workshop because I know that most of us have purchased courses online that we never finished. Sometimes we don’t even start. I want you to get as much as possible out of this workshop. I want you to learn in your own unique way, have your questions answered immediately, and get the accountability you need to complete the workshop.

What will we create together?

A step-by-step process to translate strategy into design. We’ll start with strategy exercises and the right questions to ask. I’ll teach you my thought process for how to translate words and abstract ideas into images. We’ll curate images to create boards to align with your client and ignite your imagination. We’ll create a logo and visual language based on the brandscape. We’ll apply all of that to a brand guide.

Who is this workshop for?

This workshop is for designers and strategists who are looking for a repeatable step-by-step process to translate brand strategy into visual identity. It’s for you if you’re interested in co-creating with your client and making them feel seen and heard. It's for you if you want to create designs that connect your clients with their customers. And it’s for you if you want to increase the value of the work you do.

You can use the strategy exercises as is or plug them into your existing process. It’s up to you.
