Elevate

"Elevate was a complete game-changer for my design business. Fiona’s insight and instruction is invaluable, and my process and work has really flourished as a result."

An immersive six week mentoring programme for brand designers
Next cohort runs 9 Feb - 30 Mar 2022
Brand designers at the top of their game enjoy commercial success. They don’t need to fight for work, compromise on their standards or allow themselves to be micro-managed by challenging clients. When you are an incredible designer, your portfolio glows with the evidence of your brilliance. It consistently attracts the right work and you get to enjoy the freedom that comes from stepping away from the hustle. Elevate is a six week mentoring programme for brand designers committed to excellence. It’s for entrepreneurs ready to take themselves, their business and their brand design seriously.
"I never imagined I’d have the confidence or ability to go in the direction I am headed - and that’s mostly down to you and your course. I’m so excited for where I’m planning to take my “new” business."
Gemma Andrews
"In a matter of 6 short weeks, I’ve learned to become my own creative director - from bigger picture questions such as whether my vision will resonate with the audience, to more technical decisions such as whether this font is giving off the right feeling."

Read MoreA brilliant course - a true elevation (sometimes to heights where the air was a bit too thin to breathe)! We all had the adrenaline fuelled 3AM inspiration moments and a fair smattering of crashing lows and soul searching - The phrase 'just keep swimming' was used a few times on our group chat! No swears in the chat though, so that’s something! … But, eggs and omelettes and all that. I think I have a real opportunity now to use my new skills, understandings and tools to great effect. Fiona has given me X-ray branding specs to look into a business, diagnose how it needs to feel and create an impactful brand that is right for them, their customers and looks epic in my portfolio. Thank you Fiona.

Read MoreI began Elevate 2022 as a highly-skilled graphic designer looking to determine if I had what it takes to deliver the right brand for my dream clients. I gifted myself the experience knowing that Fiona's guidance and eye for design were exactly what I had been looking for. I was profoundly challenged and discovered gaps in my process that I would never have sorted out in my fast-moving work-life pace. In the weeks following graduation, I've noticed higher creativity, confidence, and vision for my work and my business. As a brand designer, I am so thankful for gifting myself Elevate. I recommend it to all designers! We can make this process so much easier on ourselves if we secure the right help. Thank you, Fiona!

This was money VERY well spent and I was honestly sad when it was over. Fiona was a powerful mentor and helped me gain confidence in my abilities. I'd do it again and again!
