Hey friend! Ben Burns here.

When I started as a designer, I didn’t have a roadmap.

No blueprint. No insider access. No network of clients. Just a beat up, five-year-old Mac Pro, caffeine-fueled late nights, and a stubborn belief that I could make something out of nothing.

Through sheer stubbornness, I managed to carve out a creative studio, one client at a time. The rest is history (a story for another time).

Honestly: I would have never been able to do it alone.

The creative community gave me everything. People shared templates. Knowledge. Advice. Mentorship. Encouragement. They gave freely and expected so little in return.

This giveaway is our way of paying that generosity forward. I want someone else to feel that same spark of momentum… the one that changes everything.

It's why Maker Division exists: To help creatives build sustainable studios. Not side hustles that burn them out, but real businesses that last. This is a thank you to the creative community that made us who we are. It’s a reminder that generosity still wins.

So let's do it - here are a few important dates you need to know:

  • Entries open: November 18
  • Entries close: November 30
  • Winners announced live: December 1
  • Live workshop for all entrants: December 3

Thanks for being here, for being you, and for keeping creativity alive.

See you soon!

Ben Burns
Co-Founder, Maker Division
