If you’re familiar with my blog or podcast, you have heard me mention Design Suite. Here’s a little more info on my signature design program.
I only open up the Design Suite program in Design Bootcamps. It is set up this way because it is incredibly important for designers to understand the strategies involved, best practices for selling designs, and what holes are missing in their design businesses.
As designers, it is easy to get excited about the creative work. This is the “design” part of a “design business.” What is often missing is the “business” part. 
This is why many designers never make any money.
One of the goals of Design Bootcamp is to start the education process of becoming a design business that understands what it takes to make money.
Design Bootcampers who understand the principles I teach and are ready to invest in creating a design business are invited into Design Suite.
So what happens in the Design Suite Mastermind? This one year membership includes 17 courses that are specifically meant for surface pattern designers and crafters. It also includes weekly meetings and community for support that actually moved your design business forward.
Some of the types of meetings you will experience in the program are Mentor Meetings, coaching sessions, peer led discussions, and guest expert meetings. We also meet quarterly in Virtual Conferences to stay up-to-date with trends and software changes.
What’s New in August 2022?
We are so excited to announce that we’ll be releasing a Design Suite Handbook in August 2022 for all Design Suite Mastermind members. This physical handbook will include things like roadmaps, cheat sheets for the courses, trackers, and worksheets.
We are also thrilled to be starting an awards system in August! These awards help celebrate all of the wins that are required to build a thriving design business.
