There's so much insight into the little things of an application that I did not even consider, my only regret is not starting this program sooner. I completely restructured by CV, portfolio and cover letters, and have already received positive feedback from designers in my circle.

Who is this for

This is for design graduates, career returners and creative professionals trying to take their next step in the industry.

 

You might be applying for your first role, returning after time away, changing direction or finding that you are not getting the opportunities you expected.

 

What matters is that you are serious about building a career in design and willing to put the work in. Finding the tight role can shape the next few years of your career, so this is not about chasing a quick fix or sending out another hundred applications. It is about getting the right help, understanding what is holding you back and learning how to position yourself properly.

Why talented creatives get stuck

Talent alone does not get you hired.

 

You can have an amazing portfolio, good experience and plenty of potential, but still struggle to turn that into interviews and offers. Often, the problem is not the quality of your work. It is how you present it, how clearly you communicate value, where you are looking, who you are speaking to and whether employers can quickly understand why they should choose you.

 

That is why there is rarely one quick change that solves everything. The real difference comes from understanding the whole picture and getting the right guidance around it.

A Professional Recommendation

Jules McKeown, Senior Lecturer in Design at Leeds Arts University

​

“As both a creative business owner and a Senior Lecturer in Design with over 20 years of experience supporting creatives, I've attended countless conferences, workshops, and professional development events. This stands out as one of the most valuable and genuinely transformative experiences I've been part of.

 

Ryan and Marc have created something incredibly special. Their warmth, generosity, and genuine passion for helping creatives succeed creates an environment where people feel comfortable sharing their challenges, celebrating their wins, and supporting one another. Within a very short space of time, a room full of strangers became a collaborative community, exchanging ideas, offering encouragement, and making meaningful connections.

​

What impressed me most was the balance between inspiration and practical action. Every session was filled with honest advice, clear strategies, and practical tools that participants could immediately apply to their own businesses. As an educator, I spend my career helping people develop creative confidence, and it was inspiring to witness so many attendees leave with greater clarity, renewed motivation, and a real sense of direction.

 

It leaves you feeling energised, connected, and excited about what's possible. Whether you're just starting out or have been running a creative business for years, Ryan and Marc create an experience that meets you where you are while encouraging you to think bigger."

Now I have a clear idea and vision on what I want to do and don't want to do.

I am really grateful that Ryan and Marc provided a lot of questions in this programme to help me become more critical and use all the information I have.

I am very impressed with this course and myself as well as I have never been self-critical before.

What an amazing workshop!

Daniela's informative and thorough approach had made this series easy to follow and understand.

It is well structured, with practicality in mind and immediate application.

I truly appreciate everyone's output and questions during their exercise reviews, bringing up issues and resolutions of extreme value to my own experience with some mentioned platforms.

What started as an overwhelming AI pathway is continuing as an exciting creative journey!

Thanks so much, Daniela, Ryan and Marc, for organising this highly valuable programme. 🤗

This opportunity helped and forced me to grow as a designer. I took on more responsibility and as it was a field I was not familiar with, I had to learn.

It all begins with you and you need to want something strong enough for you to decide to go for it. I am grateful for the day I decided to work on myself for I believe I wouldn't be typing this message right now.
