Case Studies

Free business resources for designers, photographers, and creative freelancers

Most creative education teaches the craft. Very little of it teaches the business underneath: what to charge so you're actually profitable, how to run a sales call without giving away scope, how to build a portfolio that brings in the work you want, and where the next client comes from when the pipeline is empty.

These resources cover that side. They're pulled from the same curriculum we teach inside Maker Division, where nearly 2,000 creatives have worked through the business of running a studio. Each one is a complete piece of work rather than a teaser, because a free resource that stops right before the useful part isn't free, it's an advertisement.

If you're working out pricing, use the Profit Calculator. If you're losing projects on the first call, start with the First Call Formula. If your portfolio isn't attracting the right work, the Lookbook workshop will help. And if the problem is that there's no time to think at all, Design a Spacious Creative Week is the one.
