the
Don’t get us wrong. We know you love to create and you’ve mastered the technique and skill it takes to design beautiful brands down to the final anchor point, and those clients of yours...they adore you.

But here’s the thing,
You’re surrounded by like-minded designers to walk alongside you as you dive into what it takes to scale and grow the design business of your dreams.
This place.
This community.
You’re welcome here.
Whether you’re doodling logo sketches at your 9-to-5 or you’ve taken the leap to run your design business full-time, we created this space for you. The world of entrepreneurship can be lonely, especially during all the curve balls 2020 has thrown us. And if you have to explain what it is exactly you do one more time to Aunt Diane...well, we get it.
You’ve come so far.
Friend, you should be so proud of yourself!
Are you actually creating for your clients versus tracking down client website content?
Do you find yourself stressed as you check your dwindling bank account balance, wondering where your next client payment is coming from?
Have you downloaded those freebies promising you an easy fix to your exhaustion, yet here you are...
Are you wrestling to connect with your ideal clients time and time again?
Do you feel discouraged by every area of your business?
Have you tried doing what you’ve seen work for other design business owners—yet find yourself never truly standing out or feeling ‘at home’ in your own?
Do you tally up all the courses you’ve already invested in only to find them unopened and untouched, completely missing out on the community you were promised?
Are you treading water in a sea of choices—systems, processes, software, and strategies—and feel overwhelmed by what you’ve heard will work well for your business?
But how often...
The truth is, your one-of-a-kind business deserves a one-of-a-kind strategy and approach.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you could just take a peek behind the scenes of their businesses to see how they’re doing it all?
If you look at your life five years from now, this trial-and-error of running your business makes you feel...burnt out. And how the heck can you grow a profitable business when each day feels like another turn on the hamster wheel of hustle?
We know all too well how exhaustion leads to imposter syndrome and you're left wondering if you even know how to do what you charge for on a daily basis. But wait, what should you be charging? You’re white knuckling through every day just hoping it’ll turn into long-term success. You believe your best yes is every yes for fear of falling behind. And when you look around at your industry friends you wonder how they have it so together when you’re barely keeping your head above water.
Just when you think you get the design side of your business achieved, the rest of those “business-y” things—pricing, copywriting, processes, oh my!—leave you nothing but…
exhausted.
Yeah, us too!

What if you were surrounded by like-minded designers on a daily basis to help you navigate the seasons of growing and scaling your business?
Imagine earning a wow-worthy salary you feel proud of and ditch the overwhelm of saying yes to every inquiry so you can spend your time where it matters most—with your sweet little ones, your best friend, or your partner.
you could experience confidence, clarity and purpose in your business?
What if...
And together, we’ve combined our years of experience, brand strategy approach, and the processes and systems that changed everything for our businesses in one easy bundle for you to walk alongside us well on your way to consistently hitting $10k months.

They’ve been named ShowIt’s “Designer of the Year”, earn $40,000-$70,000 per month in custom design bookings, and multiply their multiple-six-figure revenue year after year due to their approach to business.

Since then, she’s crafted brands that rake in $50K per month, and built visuals that book ideal clients within 24 hours of launching. She guides hundreds of women through her signature brand development process to design brands that are made to endure as they operate from a strong, strategy-backed foundation.

This is for you, too.
This kind of growth is meant for you, friend.
It’s not simply a dream reserved for everyone else.
Tell yourself, “this all sounds great, but how is this actually going to help me stand out when it feels like every other designer is just as talented [if not more talented] than I am?”
Here’s some tough love for you friend, other people may be able to do what you do, but they can never do it the way that you do. [Say it louder for the people in the back!] Your story and who you are brings a uniqueness to your value that no one else can replicate. Pair that with these done-for-you tools, resources, and roadmaps inside the Design Business Bundle and we believe you will be unstoppable. It’s not a matter of “how will this help me stand out”, but more a matter of will you be able to handle how much you stand out and how brightly you shine?
Believe, “Yeah, yeah, yeah, this all sounds great” but do I really need another course?
Here’s the deal, when you purchase the Design Business Bundle, you’re not just getting our two signature programs [The Brand Strategy School and the With Grace and Gold Workshop], you’re also getting access to our active community of like minded designers AND as part of the Brand Strategy School, you’re getting access to a monthly live call with Bonnie herself. Think of this not as “just another course you invest in one time”. Instead, think of this as a lifelong community you’re joining. Once you join, you will always have access and the ability to dive in whenever works best with your schedule!
Look at the price and very politely close your laptop. But we want to encourage you to take 10 deep breaths and hear us out.
Life is CAH-RAAZY right now. We totally understand this season of life as an entrepreneur is hard. When living through a recession in real time, like we are currently in [hello COVID], it’s so important you invest your resources wisely. Which is why we are so excited to be partnering together to offer these game changing programs at a once-in-a-lifetime bundle price. Our new “normal” shouldn’t be the reason for staying where you are—exhausted, confused, and not seeing consistent client inquiries—and will only keep your bank account balance in the red. Instead, experience explosive success without the trial and error by investing in powerful tools like these to help you hit consistent $10k months and achieve your design goals.
Keep telling yourself you’ll do this “one day”. You’re on the DIY route to figuring this all out on your own because you just don’t have the time for another course.
But think of it this way—how many hours each week are you costing yourself trying to piece together everything you see other designers doing well? Instead, imagine how easy and effortless it would feel to have an easy done-for-you system not just for your workflows and client experience, but also your brand strategy approach so you can immediately elevate your business and save yourself hours each week.
As a designer, you could:
[Grab yourself a big ole cup of coffee or a margarita because it’s about to get real!]
Okay friend, let’s take a hot second for a little honesty hour:

Just imagine...
Imagine what it would feel like to hit consistent $10k months and know that your ability to earn more as a designer is not tied to the amount of hours you bill each week or month.
Imagine the freedom to choose your work hours so you can be present with your kids, spend more time with yourself, or celebrate how awesome your partner [or furbaby] is.
Imagine how life could look with a clear marketing plan that empowers you to hit your goals without wondering what to say and how to say it.
Imagine a balance in the day-to-day of your business that you actually spend time working ON your own design business, not just IN it.
Your business can be seamless and successful!
