Business Coaching for Designers
Ready to take back control of your design studio?
Your business is running you and it has been for a while. While you know something needs to change, you’re struggling so much to either find the time or know where to start, that you don’t take any action.
you need a coach that meets you where you are at - not a one-size-fits-all approach.
You’ve taken tons of courses to build your design studio. Now, you have some clients, but it’s not consistent.
You’re in the ‘messy middle' and need to optimise your time, processes & lead generation plan to make your business work for you. Now & in the future.
You don’t need more information.
You need expert eyes on your studio, a tailored action plan to transform it into a thriving business, and the support and accountability to bring it all to life.
You need ...
A personalised approach based on where you are at in your journey.
A plan to get you from where you're now to being more sustainable & profitable without compromising your current revenue.
Support to learn how to implement all the elements of the plan and understand how all the pieces fit together.
Someone who supports you, holds you accountable and gives you a gentle push in the right direction if you're struggling.
Because it’s not just about building a business that makes money ...
It’s about the overall, long-term results and being able to have the freedom to live life the way you want.
But there are so many moving parts. It feels impossible to know where to start, what to prioritise & and how to find the time to make it happen ...
Do you need to increase your pricing or change your services?
You have a never-ending to-do list. Should you not just hire a VA?
Or should you move away from 1-on-1 work and add passive income?
Do you need to learn more about brand strategy to increase your pricing?
And I get it; there are just so many possibilities to streamline and optimise your design studio to make it more sustainable and profitable, but not all of them are right for you.
You're at a stage where you don’t need more information. You need eyes on your business, a clear action plan, and help with implementation.

Let’s have a look at what your coaching program can look like
Because each Mentor Program is personalised, every program looks different, but these are the topics I mostly work on with my clients
FOCUS 1 // FOCUS TIME AND eFFORTs
+ Your big vision for the business: We want to know what your big dreams are for your business. Where do you want to be three months from now? Where in 3 years from now?
+ Productivity: We want to review how you’re spending your time. From there, we’ll look at what tasks can be eliminated, what can be automated, and where you need to spend less time because there is not enough return on your time investment.
+ We’ll look at what your ideal week looks like and what the best way is to spend your time to reach your goals. Create a monthly check-in process to evaluate what to focus on next.
FOCUS 2 // client process
+ Evaluate current client process: Gain an understanding of what your process looks like now, including emails, contracts, proposals, and invoicing.
+ Update client process: Update workflows to cover each step of the client process from inquiry to asking for feedback
+ Templates: Create templates (emails, client questionnaires, how to give feedback instructions) to improve the client process
FOCUS 3 // increase pricing & REVENUE
+ Business model & product suite: We’ll dive into the services you offer now and how to create a product suite that will set you up for the future.
+ Profitability: Here, we’ll review the pricing and the profitability of your business and make sure you’re not just getting paid for the hours it takes to complete a project.
+ Ideal clients: By defining your ideal clients and creating a positioning that sets you apart from other designers, you’ll be able to attract more and higher-paying clients.

What you can count on:

If you’re ready to optimise your time, business foundation, and lead generation plan, coaching provides the clarity, strategy, and accountability to make it happen.
Every business is unique, and so is the path we’ll take together during coaching. Whether you’re streamlining your operations, refining your client processes, or building a sustainable lead generation plan, the focus is always on optimising your time and aligning your efforts with your goals.
If you’re looking for specific areas we can address—like productivity, client experience, or profitability—you’ll find those outlined in detail here.
But it’s important to understand that coaching isn’t a quick fix—it’s about building foundational processes, refining your strategy, and creating sustainable growth—not just now, but for years to come.
While three months is the minimum commitment for this program, it’s often just the beginning. The real magic tends to happen around months 4–6 as we layer in the deeper work. That’s why many clients choose to continue beyond the initial term.

Is the Coaching Program right for you? ...
This is for you if ...
You’re a brand and/or website designer ready to build a thriving, sustainable business: You’ve grown past the “winging it” stage and want expert guidance to streamline your operations, refine your strategy, and grow your studio with intention.
You feel like your time and energy are spread too thin: Let’s optimise how you work, reclaim your time, and create processes that allow you to focus on the creative work you enjoy.
You want to attract higher-paying, aligned clients: Together, we’ll refine your positioning, define your ideal clients, and craft a lead generation plan that supports your goals.
You’re ready to take action: This program is for those committed to implementing what we discuss and embracing the growth process.
You value personalised feedback and support: From day one, I’ll be your strategic partner, offering tailored guidance. Plus, email support between sessions keeps you moving forward with confidence and clarity.
This is not for you if ...
You’re looking for quick results: Coaching isn’t about overnight change—it’s about building strong foundations and implementing sustainable strategies for long-term success. This isn’t a “5k months in 5 weeks” type of program focused on quick, one-off results.
You’re not ready to invest time and effort: Active participation is key to making the most of this program. You’ll need to take the lead on implementing our plans between sessions.
You’re brand new to the industry or haven't yet worked with clients: This program is best suited for designers who have some experience in running their business and working with clients, and are ready to refine their foundation and elevate their processes.
You’re looking for a one-size-fits-all approach: This coaching program isn’t about generic solutions or a one-size-fits-all plan. If you’re seeking a quick, template-based solution with no customisation, this won’t meet your needs. We'll work together to tailor the approach to your unique business, ensuring the strategies we implement are aligned with your specific goals.
The result? You’ll gain the clarity, confidence, and strategic guidance to grow your design studio with sustainable processes and a clear path forward.
By the end of our time together, you'll have a tailored plan and a solid foundation to keep refining and scaling your business.

Frequently asked questions
Who is this program designed for?
This program is for designers who are ready to move beyond day-to-day hustle and focus on building a sustainable, long-term plan for their business. Whether you want to refine your workflows, improve profitability, or create a lead generation strategy that aligns with your goals, this program equips you with the skills to structure your weeks, set achievable goals, and build a financial plan that keeps your studio thriving for years to come.
How long does the coaching program last/how quick will i see results?
From my experience, most designers don’t have clear insights into their financials, defined financial goals with actionable plans, or a solid brand strategy that supports those goals. This is where the work begins—by building the foundation that will support your long-term success.
The results will come as you implement these strategies, but like any new approach, it takes time to gain traction. That’s why reviewing and optimising as you go is a key part of the process. This is why many clients choose to stay beyond the initial three months to keep implementing, refining and building momentum.
Afterthree months, you can continue month-to-month, adapting the program to your evolving goals and challenges. This isn’t about quick fixes or a one-size-fits-all solution; it’s about creating a sustainable, scalable business aligned with your long-term vision.
can we start immediately?
Before we begin, we’ll have a complimentary coaching call to help you understand what it’s like to work together. After that, we’ll schedule a “work with me” call to talk through logistics of the program and finalise the start date. To provide the best service and outcomes, I limit the number of clients I serve simultaneously to 6 per month, so the start date will depend on current availability.
How much time should I set aside for this coaching program?
I hear you—your schedule is packed. To give you an idea; each session requires 1 hour for the call. Depending on the topic, additional work may take 2–3 hours per session.
But here’s the thing: we’ll be streamlining your processes and strategy, so while there’s an initial time investment, you’ll save time in the long run. Besides that, many clients have shared that they accomplished more in their time with me than they had in the previous six to twelve months.
Will I learn how to use ClickUp or Dubsado as part of this program?
No, the coaching program isn’t tied to specific software. If you’re looking for dedicated ClickUp or Dubsado support, that’s covered in the Done-With-You Setup Program. However, we can discuss strategies and processes that could integrate into those tools if you decide to use them later.
This program is for designers who are ready to move beyond day-to-day hustle and focus on building a sustainable, long-term plan for their business.

what the results can be like when ...
You untangle the chaos and streamline your studio.
“I felt my business was not sustainable. I was miserable and I was in constant confusion and feeling stressed.”
It was great how you were able to break it down for me what I needed to work on in my business, in which order and how they all impact each other. It felt slow in the beginning because we were looking at where my revenue was coming from and working on my workflows. But it was exactly what I needed because I now know exactly where my business stands and what I need to do to reach my revenue results.
I’ve now opened up all this space for me to dream and be creative. And I know that I can achieve those dreams because I know how to run my business like a business. I always thought that it took the feeling out of it, but it actually has given me the space to personalise my services. Now I feel like I am in control of my life and my business in a way that feels like I can continue doing this for years to come. My anxiety levels have gone down and I got my life back and I can be present with my kids and my family

“I was very depleted and confused about my work, my non-existing structure, lack of client boundaries and the whole organisational part of my business really. I felt like just reacting on a day-to-day basis rather than pro-actively creating my future.”
I knew I needed to invest in myself in order to create the next step but processes, structure, planning, and procedures are really not my strong suit, Stephanie is so patient and broke everything down and that helped me a lot. It was great to have her professional eyes on my business, without feeling judged that it is just a mess.
Now, I have way more clarity on where I am at with my business. Creating the financial overview sheet opened my eyes to what I actually need to charge to make a living! That freed a lot of guilt of possibly charging too much! That knowledge will be a game-changer.

“Before working together my brain was all over the place. I'm good at what I do but I'm a very right-brained thinker and have been called a free spirit many times. So, the business side of things was such a struggle for me.”
The program was challenging for me, but in a way that I needed it. It took me far out of my comfort zone but I felt you were great at keeping in touch and answering my questions during and between each session and gently pushed me to stay on top of my homework. I was so appreciative of the documents you shared and the videos have been such a great help!!
Now, my confidence in managing the business side of things has been astounding! It's even helped me streamline my services and offer some new ones. I feel like I've been able to set a clear direction for my business, I'm streamlining and clarifying my service offerings, reevaluating my pricing, monitoring the business better, and it's so much more organized.
