My Design Coach

My Design Coach is built for businesses with in-house design needs and for individual designers who want to improve their skills in a practical, real-world way. Whether you’re leading a team or working independently, the focus is on helping you work more effectively and with greater clarity. We meet you at any level you are at from just starting out to those that already work as a designer.

This is not a one-size-fits-all or passive learning experience. If you’re looking for quick fixes, hands-off solutions, or purely theoretical instruction, this may not be the right fit. The work requires engagement, application, and a willingness to improve.

Both. Services are designed to support individual designers as well as businesses with in-house teams.

Consulting focuses on identifying challenges and providing clear direction.

Coaching focuses on developing skills and improving performance over time.

Education provides structured learning to build foundational knowledge and practical ability.

Each can stand alone or work together depending on your needs.

Yes. Every engagement is tailored based on your goals, challenges, and current level. There are no pre-packaged, one-size-fits-all solutions.

Choose a tier that fits your needs and desired level of support. Once enrolled, you’ll receive immediate access to your learning portal through MyDesignCoach.com, including all materials and resources included in your plan.

This is a flexible, self-paced learning environment designed to fit your schedule, with access to expert guidance as you build practical, real-world design skills.

We begin with a discovery conversation to understand your needs, goals, and challenges. From there, services may include targeted sessions, ongoing coaching, or a comprehensive assessment with clear next steps.

The focus is always on practical application and measurable improvement. For more details, visit the Consulting page or reach out directly with any questions.

A willingness to engage, apply feedback, and commit to improvement. The
process is collaborative and works best when there is active participation.

The free discovery call is a straightforward conversation to understand your situation, goals, and challenges. It’s also an opportunity to determine if the partnership is the right fit before moving forward.

You can expect improved clarity, stronger workflows, increased confidence, and more consistent design output. The goal is to strengthen both the people doing the work and the systems supporting it.

Remember you are learning from an industry experienced designer and art director as well as a college professor. The curriculum is designed to help you or your team achieve your design goals—whether that is building a portfolio to obtain a design job or strengthen your design skills and confidence! Remember, the more you put in, the more you get out!

That depends on your level of engagement and consistency. Many clients
begin to see improvements in clarity and workflow early on, with deeper skill
development building over time.

Traditional design education often emphasizes theory within rigid timelines.
My Design Coach takes a more practical approach—offering flexible, self-paced
online learning designed to integrate directly with your real-world work.

Developed by an experienced college professor,
the curriculum is grounded in both academic insight and industry experience,
focusing on the skills, workflows, and expectations required to succeed as a
professional designer.

Unlike many online courses that rely solely on pre-recorded content, My
Design Coach offers a more supported learning experience. Alongside flexible,
self-paced education, you have access to expert guidance to help you apply what
you’re learning effectively.

Consuming information is only part of the
process—real growth comes from practicing the skill, receiving feedback, and
implementing it consistently.

My Design Coach offers a mentor in your pocket.

The result is a more practical, structured
approach that focuses on real-world outcomes—not just content consumption.

Both options are available depending on location and needs.

Both. You can engage in a single session for targeted support or ongoing
