(Yes, it’s possible.)

OUR BLOW-YOUR-MIND PROMISE

100% Money Back Guarantee

Listen, it wasn’t too long ago that I had to save and budget for every single business purchase I made. 

 

And I also know that in the online marketing world, courses can feel a bit…disconnected?

 

I believe not just in my process, but that it’s attainable for YOU.

While I can’t guarantee results (I have serious ❓❓for anyone who says they can), I can guarantee you’ll be blown away by all the videos, scripts, and plug-and-personalize templates you’ll get to launch and scale your design business. 


If you purchase the course, implement the material, and, after 3 months, still haven't seen any positive changes— I’ll refund your investment.

  • Do you offer payment plans?
    Yes! You can start today for just $297, and 5 monthly payments of $297 to follow.
  • Do I get support, community or 1:1 access to you?"
    You'll get access to our incredible, private Facebook community, as well as four monthly group coaching calls. You'll receive ONE 1:1 call with Meredith as a bonus.
  • Do I get lifetime access to the course material?
    You’ll have access to the course for as long as it exists. As of now, we don’t plan for it to expire. If anything changes, we’ll let you know 6 months in advance.
  • Do I need experience before starting DBD?
    DBD is for both seasoned designers and new beginners. No matter where you are in your design biz journey, the principles we teach in this course will help you to scale.
  • Do you offer refunds?
    If you can show me that you’ve gone through the course modules, checklists, and workbooks, put in the work that we cover in the course, and still don’t see any return, we will refund you. Otherwise, we do not offer refunds. Refunds will not be considered or granted after 14 days of purchase.
  • How much time do I need to set aside to take the course?
    We recommend you set aside 2-4 hours per week to go through the program and implement the assignments.

I threw all my chips in—and it worked

When I lost my mom, I decided life was too short to be living on someone else’s schedule, so I left my 9-5 agency job and steady paycheck—all to search for something bigger. And better. 

 

I launched my business from my studio apartment, bending over backward for every client I could get, living off of my savings from my 9-5 job, and scraping together what I could to get by.

 

But I knew there was more for me.

YOU’RE NOT ALONE

I’d love to cheer you on. 

Having spent years getting my designs ripped apart by talented Creative Directors in my corporate days, I was determined to create brand and web designs that converted and a luxury client experience that built trust and authority.

 

Now that my design business runs on autopilot and I book 1:1 clients out 3-4 months in advance, my goal is simple: to inspire you to believe you CAN create a profitable design business that allows you to build the lifestyle you've been dreaming of.

Change your mindset from “Am I good enough?” to “Thriving CEO”

My secret to success? Focus on a lifestyle-driven business, not (just) a sexy number.

Income goals are huge, don’t get me wrong.

 

I love shocking my CPA every year with how much my “little creative business” has grown.

But I believe steady and sustainable growth matters more than a one-size-fits-all number.

Most courses in the design industry focus on the promise that you can hit a six-figure income right away. 


In Dream Big Designer, we focus on landing quality clients and building an ecosystem where you have software and teammates that work in sync to create a customer journey so seamless that you have a better-than-Wall-Street financial future.

MODULE 01

Learn how to actually build a business plan that positions you as an expert in the field of design, including how to optimize your website to attract higher paying clients, how to have your own (legal) back with my favorite resources for contracts, and my go-to profit and loss statement that makes financial planning (and tax season!) easy.

Build a powerful brand foundation

MODULE 02

Ditch the feast or famine freelance life by clearly identifying your ideal client and how to strategically market to them so they say yes before they even get on a sales call. (DM and phone call scripts included!)

Understand and attract ideal clients

MODULE 03

Transform your services to the agency level with training on pricing psychology, revenue planning, and creating an I-know-what-I’m-doing offer suite that speaks to your ideal audience so clearly they never question your process or designs.

Create scalable, high-end offers

MODULE 04

Gain confidence in your sales calls with our high-converting roadmap, sales call scripts (that have an over 50% booking rate!), and how to create a funnel that reduces barriers and does the selling for you.

Develop a consistent, high-converting sales call strategy

MODULE 05

Learn the exact tools we use to host the client booking process (steal our exact templates!) that saves time and creative energy, plus the project management process we use to make automation your new best friend. 

Optimize your systems for scalability

MODULE 06

Set yourself apart from other designers by providing a personalized, professional, and clear design process that reduces the number of emails and DMs you’re managing so that clients are so thrilled with their experience they tell everyone (and their aunt) about you. (Hello, referral network!)

Design obsession-worthy client experiences

MODULE 07

Learn how to sell your services (without feeling salesy) with our proprietary system for tracking and warming up leads (converting social media followers into paying clients), and quick-win resources for slow seasons. 

Master your marketing

MODULE 08

Create a plan to expanding your company with products that bring in passive income, and hiring teammates (yep, job posting templates included!), so you have support and systems to take time off and manage flu season without stress.

Generate intentional growth tactics

where you can get portfolio feedback from Meredith and in-the-trenches encouragement from other designers who want to move the needle alongside you.

PLUS A PRIVATE SLACK GROUP

In Dream Big Designer, you become the business owner you want to be.

Leave the overwhelmed and defeated mindset for an empowered, dialed-in, big-picture energy. 

“Just yesterday, I received THREE inquiries in 2 hours, which was unheard of before.

STUDENT RESULTS

I made the common mistake of, “hey, I can design a logo!”, thinking that's all it took. But, as crazy as this sounds, what I actually needed to know was how to run a business. 

 

After taking Dream Big Designer, I’ve leveled up and streamlined my processes. 


DBD helped me grow my business from a side hustle to a full-time job. Since putting everything into place, I’ve grown my confidence. Just yesterday, I received 3 inquiries in two hours, which was unheard of before."

“I got my first client the day I launched!

STUDENT RESULTS

After taking Dream Big Designer, I wasn’t launching with the hopes that something would happen, I launched expecting good things to happen.

It’s wild! My first client reached out the day I launched, I sent a proposal and by the end of week one of being live, she’s in!"

—Jodi Duncan, Branding, Design, and Creative Direction

Dream Big Designer

JOIN

An online course for designers who want to create an agency-style design business that attracts dream clients—and finally feel like they’re in control of their future with a profitable system for growth.

With my proven process and trusted systems, you can create an agency—and a lifestyle—where you (not your clients) are in control.

The multi-six-figure annual income didn’t arrive in my bank account overnight.

 

I had to take on lowball projects and demanding clients to learn there was a better way to build a business that afforded me the time (and skincare products) I wanted.

 

Building on the skills I learned at corporate agencies with name-brand clients and through my own trial and error, I’m not just peeling back the curtain. I’m handing over the EXACT tools I used to build and scale my business.

 

So that you can hit those $$$ months, book the trip to the mountains, and sleep all night knowing that your design portfolio has created an investment portfolio you can trust.

Tired of letting imposter syndrome hold you back?

Is there anything more defeating than stalking competitors on Instagram for “inspiration,” only to second (and third) guess your marketing plan entire business plan?

 

Look, you know that the stalk-and-scroll life isn’t going to bring you your next client, and studying someone else’s Reels certainly isn’t going to give you that part-time-hours-full-time-pay you desperately want.  

 

But you know what will?

A PLAN.

A SYSTEM.

AND A GUIDE TO GET YOU THERE.

"I raised my rates, and I booked my first three clients—all within the first couple weeks of the course!

STUDENT RESULTS

Before DBD, I was at a full-time design job and super unhappy. After spending hours on a commute to my 9-5 job, I quit. 

 

I started taking on freelance work but had no idea how to price anything—I think I charged $300 for a logo! I didn’t understand the process of getting a client, serving them, and creating an offboarding process.

 

Now I’ve raised my rates and am confident knowing the price represents the value of the work. I raised my rates, and I booked my first three clients—all within the first couple weeks of the course!"

—Stephanie Hinson, Brand + Graphic Designer
