Drop Dead Designer Information

Drop Dead Designer is a 3-month immersive experience that will change the way you design, run your business, and think about yourself.

Being a freelancer is naturally hard.

As a former freelancer, I’ve been right where you are:

• Competing to find consistent design clients
• Earning literal pennies for your hard work
• Feeling bored and uninspired by your projects
• Hearing “but THIS designer can do it cheaper”
• Battling clients for creative control
• Fearing that nothing will ever change

Now, I run a multi six-figure creative agency and have coached 500+ designers. What do I know for sure? Success isn’t about a design education, money to invest, or luck.
