Blog Design Mentorship

I get lots of emails asking how I got started designing for the web.

That grew into emails asking how I handle files, clients, workload, workflow, etc… What programs do I use? How’d I learn? What are my favorite resources? How do I use marketing, social media and the web to promote myself? Since I have a totally overloaded work schedule, and my paying clients wait very, very patiently (or not so patiently!) for my time it’s not feasible to use their time to write emails.

However, design + teaching are passions of mine and I’d love to enable the next up-and-coming blog designer to be as successful as possible!

By request, I’ve decided to accept 3-4 interested designers per month in a 4-week, 8-week (or more!) mentorship program.

What does blog design mentorship cover?

Answers to all of those questions above – I hold nothing back and share what works for me in terms of design, business, working with clients, work load, workflow, my favorite resources, the programs I use and how I use them, setting up shop, setting prices, boundaries and terms, creating files for web use, color theory, logos, branding & identity, etc. I also offer both website and portfolio review.

What does this not cover?

Coding. This isn’t a coding course and I won’t be teaching you how develop or program websites. I will, however, offer resources to help you find what I call “pixel-perfect” web developers if you don’t intend to develop your own sites. I will also share which resources I use to develop my sites and will give you resources to learn various code languages if you’re interested.

Print design. I specialize in pixel design and I’m not qualified to teach graphic design that’s intended for a print-based business. My business is blog and web design.

Do I accept every interested student?

It’s simply not possible. Teaching can only be a fraction of my work week so I can continue to provide the best service to my amazing design clients.
