“For artists and designers who want to professionalise their studio for more succes, impact and freedom”

Do you want to give your studio a boost?

Maybe you are a passionate photographer, illustrator, product designer, or artist, and you run your own business. You earn a living from your work, but it’s always uncertain, and you have to work very hard for it. The focus was never on how to handle the business side of your career, and you’d like to improve this skill set, but you have no idea where to start.

Do you recognize this? ...

  • You want to earn a stable income, in less time, but you don’t know how to achieve this, because your calendar is already too full
  • You understand the importance of being visible, but once you've invested your energy in social media posts and press communications, you find yourself at a loss for what to do next
  • You don’t have budget to present your work at every international design event, but how to reach your public then?
  • You have a lot of ideas but you are having a hard time choosing as you don’t know what strategy will work for you
  • You have the desire to improve your business skills, but you're unsure about where to find this knowledge

How much longer will you wait before making changes?

The workload will keep increasing, and you’ll need to embrace more changes and innovations. Eventually, your motivation may disappear and you’ll have to work even harder to make enough money. If you don’t address the issue now, you’ll find yourself repeatedly reinventing the wheel, knowing it won’t lead to significant changes. How much longer will you sacrifice personal time without seeing any increase in income? Act now… Joinanew!

What our participants say:

“The programme is so valuable, that I wish it never ended. As a creative entrepreneur I want to keep optimising and focusing on how to grow my business. I followed the programme given by Margriet Vollenberg and Loes Wagemans. Both very experienced, with an enormous network in the design world. This is exactly what I needed, to be surrounded by like-minded people, with whom I share knowledge and inspiration.”
