Drop the "shoulds"
and build your
dream business
your way
a 12 week mentorship program just for designers to carve a path to your unique version of success
does this sound like you?
-
You feel like your business is able to support you, give you a stable income and be your dream job… but you’re craving more - more flexibility, more money, more joy, more alignment
-
You’re at a turning point where you feel you can either carry on where you are now with something missing… or take daring action and build a dreamy, aligned design business for you
-
You know what you create is great and have clients singing your praises but you don’t know how to expand that to charging higher rates, booking dreamier clients and selling additional offers
-
You can see an exciting vision for your future, your family, your dreams, your lifestyle, your day to day and you want your business to be the support to get you there instead of a drain

increased income after one session!
Working with Cat has been great, having something to go through different parts of the business and strategise was exactly what I needed to take my business to the next level! We ironed out my process to free up time, I worked out a schedule so I’m no longer overworked and overwhelmed and I increased my income from the first session!
- Niketa, Studio Iris
what if these things were possible for you?
-
You feel confident and relaxed about your pricing, income and financial freedom
-
You know that enquiries from dream clients will be in your inbox to fill your schedule
-
You have the flexibility and space to work less whilst still earning more
-
You can scale and grow your business in a way that feels enjoyable and easy
broken free of freelancing!
Before working with Cat I was saying yes to every project just to make some money which lead me to working too much and in a constant burnout cycle. Within a few weeks I had created a new marketing strategy, found signature services that were doing things I actually wanted to do, and created a schedule to stop the burnout.
After our work together, I feel like a business owner rather than a freelancer! I have taken control of my business and I no longer let my clients run my life. I'm much clearer on my boundaries and I'm just a much happier in my business in general!

about your mentor
❋
about your mentor ❋
I’ve spent the last eight years running Gatto and testing every method to scale and develop - whilst helping designers like you do exactly the same.
I’ve gone from:
Feast and famine income cycle
Working 24/7 and constant burnout
Spending hours each week on admin and tasks I hated
Taking on any enquiry that came in
To:
Sustainable five-figure monthly income
Dreamy high-ticket design clients only
Creating the space to work 2-3 days a week and take 3 months off per year
No inauthentic sales tactics, no pitching, no working on things that I didn’t like - just 100% me working on things I love every day and connecting magnetically with my dream clients.
my mentoring super powers
-
flexible and personal guidance
I don’t just want to push you to do things the way I did them or get to where I am. I want you to discover what your version of success looks like and help you get there.
-
Allowing space for your ideas and concerns
There’s no point in me telling you what to do. You are your own person and you are what makes your business and work unique. I just want to let you shine.
-
Figuring out your mindset blocks
If you’re pushing back on moving in one direction, there’s usually something standing in your way. I love figuring out what that is so you can knock it down
intentional alignment!
Emily was able to see through the noise and overwhelm from all of the advice online and map out a business that looked perfect to her. Not just focusing on work work work or a standard version of success, but working on projects she loves and re-thinking what a fun business looks like!
- Emily, Wylde Creative
the transform process

the transform process ❋
how does this work?
a 90 minute strategy call
start with the strategy…
We’ll jump in with a bumper 90-minute strategy call where I can go over the questionnaire you’ll fill in before we start and we can find the key areas that we can work on together for the 12 weeks and beyond. I’ll also create a Dream Business Roadmap for you to check back on to plan your goals, strategies, and unique path for your business
1:1 voice note mentoring
12 weeks of support using the voice note app Voxer
I use Voxer for our ongoing mentoring conversations, guidance, and implementing the strategies we plan together. This means I can be on hand for a chat or support when you need me and we can talk in real time instead of saving it up for a call
your personalised “dream business roadmap”
my strategic roadmaps for your success
I’ll take all of the information you send me about your business, your goals and how you do things at the moment and create a personalised roadmap that you can use to refer to, plan from and check after we’ve finished working together. Think of someone writing a book about your business plans… this is it!
a year of the clubhouse
twelve months of extra group support
Wondering how I can support you after the twelve weeks? You also get access to twelve months of The Clubhouse as part of our time working together, so I can keep cheering you on and helping with your plans
ready to build your dream business?
working less and making more than ever
After working with Cat, I feel super cosy, confident and comfortable in my business. I’ve had a complete mindset shift so even though my services look the same, the difference in how I feel is huge. I feel able to chat about my pricing easily and more clients are coming to me with higher budgets as I’ve made more time to market myself and connect whilst also making more time to rest. I am working less on the whole but making more than I ever have - I feel truly happy and can't wait to keep these values moving forward as I grow my business further and hopefully work with Cat again!

where could you be in just twelve weeks? ❋
here’s a few things i’ve supported my designer clients to achieve

building an intentional & strategic ladder of services to reach your income goals without sacrificing time
-
planning and taking time-off for maternity leave, honeymoons, holidays or just to regularly recharge!
-
set a pricing structure so you can expand your income quickly instead of in small steps
-
identifying big picture goals and planning a unique and joyful path to get there
-
creating, launching and selling passive income streams for joyful projects and additional recurring income
-
building huge amounts of confidence as a business owner to make big but transformational decisions
-
creating a long-lasting business by identifying unique design superpowers and sharing that with the world
launched a successful product line!
My sessions with Cat were so valuable and without her support, I wouldn’t have the business I have today working with dream clients and selling my own products! Cat has guided me with her own knowledge and experiences but also helped me find my own ways that work and help me get to my own version of success. In the first few weeks of working together, I managed to raise my prices, create more consistent income and launch a successful Kickstarter for a dream product!

is 1:1 right for me?
✔︎ Transform is perfect if...
- You have been running your own design business for a few years and want to expand
- you want to see what is possible for you building a business entirely on your own terms
- you've tried various strategies and courses but now is your time to find your perfect way of doing things
- you want to step into a new normal of being a confident, in-control business owner
- you want to build the life you envision yourself having with more money, spare time and flexibility
✘ Transform won’t work if…
- You are unwilling to make any change to how you currently run your business
- You love the culture of hustling and working constantly
- You don’t think the things you want for yourself are a possibility and can’t move past those thoughts
- You want quick and simple change without too much work
- You don’t like taking suggestions on board and prefer to figure things out alone
drop me a dm @thedaringdesignersclub and
let’s chat about your goals
designed her dream business!
Just wanted to say that it's been so amazing working with you over the last few months. I feel like I've come on leaps and bounds in terms of clarity within my business and you've helped me have the confidence to launch this crazy but amazing idea of mine. I can't thank you enough for sharing all your knowledge with me and helping me realise that I actually can create the life I've always dreamed about - both in business and in life. It means the world! Thank you!!

I love working with all types of designers! Some examples of past clients are web designers, stationers, graphic designers, product designers, embroidery artists and pattern designers. If you feel like I’m the right mentor for you, and we share the same values, we would work wonderfully together!
-
My 1:1 clients get unlimited access to me via the voice note app, Voxer, Monday - Friday. This is where we can connect and chat - think of me as your mentor in your pocket! Alongside the voice note mentoring, we will have a 90 minute strategy call to kick us off so we can set some foundations and make a plan for our 12 weeks together
-
That's for you to decide! Before taking the leap and working with me as your coach, I recommend going through all of the free materials I offer to make sure we have the same values and that you like the way I work! Head to the Daring Designers page to sign up for my newsletter, read some blog posts and watch my video workshops.
-
Voxer is a voice-note app which allows me to chat with my clients in between sessions and tune in when you have big breakthroughs, questions and any sticking points along the way.
-
This is entirely up to you, what your version of success looks like, and the work you are willing to put into our time together.
I will give you my expertise, guidance, and non-judgemental care and in return, I would love for you to be open and do the hard work that is required behind the scenes!
-
All 1:1 clients get access to my mentoring program, The Clubhouse, and any programs I’m running whilst we work together as a standard, as well as the strategy call and Voxer access! This means you can get access to all the knowledge and strategy in your own time so we can focus on your personal goals and journey with our time together.
-
My next availability is shown at the top of this page! I generally book my mentoring slots a couple of months in advance so keep your eyes peeled for these opening on my email list or Instagram.
-
I love keeping a close relationship with past coaching clients so make sure you keep me updated with your wins on Instagram!
You will have your strategy planner to work through and you will also have the opportunity to extend our time together if you’d like more guided support moving forward.
