The Rise. 

If you already have a design business with services you’re currently selling and you’re making money, how you know the Rise is right for you, is if you want more clients calling, more consultations and you want to close more of them into full projects.

Your ability to sell impacts everything: how many inquiries you get, how many of those turn into paying clients, and how hard you have to hustle to make it happen.

Inside The Rise, you’ll learn the foundational sales and client communication skills every designer needs to book projects with confidence—skills you’ll use for the rest of your career.

Inside The Rise, you’ll follow a simple, proven process to help you land your first (or next) paying design clients—without needing a portfolio, a big following, or years of experience.

You’ll learn five core foundations: foundational marketing, extending invitations for clients to work with you, showing up in service (and with confidence), consultation calls, mastering the design session, and presenting a design fee proposal that converts. 

That’s the doing.

But we also focus on who you’re becoming.

In The Rise, you’ll get coached on:

• Managing your mindset while putting yourself out there, trying new things, and hearing “no”

• Building self-confidence so you know you’re the right designer for the job—even if you’re just starting out

• Evaluating your own efforts so you can always tell what’s working and what to tweak

• Knowing exactly what to focus on (and what to stop doing) when you don’t have clients yet

You’ll be supported by Lindsay,  who’s helped dozens of designers start from scratch, and get fully booked.

We know where new designers get stuck—and we know exactly how to help you move forward.

Yes!

To make it even easier to start Making Money as a Designer just starting out, you can join The Rise for 12 monthly payments of $180 OR 6 monthly payments of $330.

The Rise is a 5-week, self-paced course designed to walk you through the entire client-getting process—step by step, one week at a time.

Each week, a new module will unlock, guiding you through one part of the 5-step process.

You’ll have two clear paths through the content depending on your time and learning style:

• The Essentialist Path: The must-watch lessons (1–3 classrooms per module) that will give you everything you need to take action now.

• The Immersive Path: A deeper dive (8–10 classrooms per module) for those who want to absorb the full training and context behind each concept.

This course is designed to give you the big-picture strategy and the detailed tools to build momentum fast, based on where you are right now.

You’ll get lifetime access to the material so you can revisit and refine your skills anytime as your confidence—and client base—grows.

The program was designed for designers making under $300k in their business, or are who are simply not where they want to be.

Designers who are looking to attract better clients and work on more profitable projects. Designers who are ready to do the work, and make more money period.

The program can work for anyone regardless of their niche, what types of services you offer and what type of fee structure you currently have.

 Each phase of business growth requires a different set of actions taken by YOU. And while other programs out there focus on the broad approach to all aspects of running a design business, The Rise is highly curated focuses only on getting clients calling, and closing them.

I’m also a practicing designer running a successful business since 2014, as well as a trained COACH. That means I’m in the action, and have my finger on the pulse of what’s working and what’s not, and can support you through all the roadblocks and mindset shifts required to get to that next level.

Absolutely.

This program is what I wish I had as I started my design business 10 years ago. There is no shortcut to success, but in doing this program you will reach your goals faster by following my proven process right from the start. 

YES! And be eligible for any updates along the way.

It’s Risk-Free.
