The problem

You've been 'about to start' for 18 months

You can design. You know your craft. But when 11 PM rolls around and you're staring at a blank outreach email, thinking 'I probably sound desperate right now'—you close the laptop. Or you finish a proposal and wonder if $2,500 is too much, so you quote $1,800 instead. The skills aren't the problem. You're stuck in the gap between portfolio and first real client, and it's starting to feel permanent.

The solution

A 6-week program built for designers who are ready to actually start

Zero to Shipped is not another design course. You don't need more portfolio tips. You need a proven outreach template that feels genuine, a pricing framework you can defend, weekly live feedback on your actual pitches, and permission to stop waiting for the perfect moment. Cohort 1 starts September 2026.

What you get

Outreach template that gets responses

A structured pitch you can personalize in 10 minutes that leads to discovery calls instead of silence or polite rejections.

Price your work without guilt

A framework that ties your rate to client value, not your self-doubt. Stop leaving $3k on the table per project.

Weekly live critiques of your real proposals

Every pitch you send gets feedback before it lands in a client's inbox. Catch the soft objections before they kill the deal.

Hit $5k in revenue by week 6

That's one solid client at fair rates—proof that this works and momentum to keep going.

A cohort of designers moving at the same pace

You're not alone in the 11 PM spiral. Real people, real pressure, real wins—together.

FAQ

Do I need a perfect portfolio to join?

No. You need mid-level design skills and willingness to ship. Your portfolio will get sharper during the program—part of the outreach work is refining what you show clients.

What if I don't land a client in 6 weeks?

Most cohort members land at least one client by week 4. If you don't, you get access to the next cohort's live critiques and templates at no extra cost.

Is this for product designers only?

The program is built for product designers specifically—UX/UI, design systems, research. The frameworks work because they address the exact pricing and positioning challenges product designers face.

How much time does this take per week?

4–6 hours. Two hours for live sessions, 2–4 hours for outreach and proposal work. This is built for people who already have jobs.

Can I do this part-time while I'm employed?

Yes. Most people in Cohort 1 will be employed. The program is designed around that reality.

What happens after 6 weeks?

You'll have your first real client and the systems to find more. We offer optional office hours and a peer community if you want ongoing support, but you won't need the program anymore.
