When you’re deep in the day-to-day of your design business, it’s easy to forget why you started it in the first place. I’ve been there — chasing goals, saying yes to opportunities, and still feeling like something’s off. In this episode, I’m challenging you to step back and look at your business through the lens of a true CEO and visionary. Because you can’t scale what you haven’t defined.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why most designers are stuck in their business instead of leading it
  • How to get clear on what you actually want — not what you think you should want
  • The difference between designing for your clients and designing your life
  • How to spot the misalignment that’s keeping you stuck in the grind
  • What it really means to be the visionary of your business
  • How to build from intention instead of emotion
  • Why clarity is your most valuable business asset as you grow


 Scaling doesn’t start with another system or hire — it starts with you. As the CEO, your job is to hold the vision, make decisions that align with it, and lead your business where you want it to go. If you’re ready to stop reacting to what’s right in front of you and start leading with clarity, it’s time to step fully into your role as the visionary. Let’s realign your business so it supports the life you actually want. Book a 15-minute problem-solving session, and let’s start there.
