If pricing feels like a stressful guess, this episode will help you price with a clear method so you stop undercharging and start feeling confident in your numbers.

In this episode, you will learn

  • Why designers undercharge even when they are talented and booked
  • What it means to price the process, not the tasks
  • How to set a Minimum Viable Fee so you stop saying yes to unprofitable work
  • How a Pricing Ladder creates consistent packages clients can choose from
  • How to account for complexity so you are not donating time

Review your last three projects and ask:

  • Where did I donate time
  • What was underpriced
  • What boundary was missing
  • What would I charge differently next time

In just one focused hour, we’ll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You’ll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.

This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you’ve been dying to ask—from someone who’s actually been there.

Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.
