I understand how impossible it can feel starting out in the design world.

I understand how impossible it can feel starting out in the design world.

When I was still in school for Graphic Design, I received the worst advice someone could give someone starting out as a freelance designer …

“When you are starting out, you should offer up your services for free so you can gain experience”

Why Was This the Worst Advice?

Why Was This the Worst Advice?

When I did this, I did in fact gain experience, but what else did I get?

Clients that expected me to work for free... EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Trust me, when I say this is not an easy rut to get out of …

75% LOST INCOME in my first 2 years. Once I finally got out of the “Free Client Rut”, It was incredibly difficult to value my work to the amount it should have been valued! I.E only charging $50 for a logo when I should have been charging $200+ 

My confidence was at an all time low, so I found myself less keen on putting my services out there… again losing out on my full income I could have been making!

Why Am I Sharing This?

I realized there had to be another way to gain the experience needed, WITHOUT DEVALUING YOUR SERVICE!

This is why I have put countless and countless of hours putting this Design Challenge together, so designers like you, like me back in day can overcome this!

+ Create designs you can actually be proud of
+ Save THOUSANDS of lost income
+ Gain confidence so you can get the dream clients you deserve!


I wanted to keep it super affordable, so I could at least cover my costs but be able to provide this opportunity that all designers can take advantage of, just as I so desperately wished was provided to me.

So why not invest in yourself so you can save THOUSANDS of your hard earned time and money down the line in your career!

This challenge is for designers like you, who deserve to be successful!

Imagine a world where you have the experience, skills, and confidence to land those dream clients and create jaw-dropping designs. No more feeling stuck or overlooked! It's time to shatter those limitations and embrace your full potential as a graphic designer!

Gain hands-on experience, build an exceptional portfolio, and uncover your unique style!
