  • Creating A Membership For Designers
    Aug 9 2024

    In this episode, I’m spilling all the secrets behind my latest passion project— Web Design Storybook! 🎉 I dive into my journey from feeling burnt out designing from scratch to finding my creative spark again, all thanks to commercial use templates.

    This shift not only reignited my love for web design but also inspired me to create a space for other designers who’ve felt the same overwhelm and self-doubt. That’s how the Web Design Storybook was born—a membership designed to empower you to offer stunning web designs without the burnout.

    I also want to give a huge shoutout to my amazing beta testers who’ve been with me every step of the way, helping to shape and refine the membership. Your feedback has been invaluable, and I’m beyond excited to finally launch on 8/16! ✨

    Ready to join the magic? Check out our membership’s Instagram for all the latest updates, and don’t miss out on our early bird offer—join now and get $300 off your membership! Let’s make web design a story worth telling.
