Design, Business, & Connection
Learn something. Get fresh perspectives.
Make meaningful connections.
A monthly online gathering for business owners who want to learn something useful, get another perspective on their design and marketing, and meet people who understand what it’s like to run a business.
Come for the topic. Bring a challenge. Leave with new ideas and connections.
What You’ll Get
Whether you come with a specific question, want to hear the monthly presentation, or simply want to meet people, there’s something here for you.
At Open Studio Live, you’ll have the opportunity to:
Learn
practical design, marketing, and business ideas you can apply to your own work.
Bring
your website, social media, or marketing challenges and get my feedback.
Meet
other business owners, exchange ideas, and make new connections.
Who It’s For:
You’re a solopreneur, service provider, or small business owner who’s:
Seeking Clarity:
You have a design or marketing that needs some attention, working on something new, and want another perspective.
Looking for Ideas:
You want to learn more about design, marketing, and communicating your business, and enjoy learning new ideas
you can put to use.
Ready to Connect:
You’d like to meet other business owners, exchange experiences, build relationships, and discover opportunities to work together.
What We’ll Explore
Each session includes three parts, bringing together learning, practical feedback, and connection.
Learn Something New
A short presentation on a practical design, marketing, or business topic.
Every month I’ll share ideas, insights, and practical tips to help you improve how your business looks, communicates, and connects with people.
Some of the topics we’ll cover:
- What makes a website work?
- Is your visual presence communicating the right message?
- Creating social media content that connects.
- How to communicate what you do clearly.
- Design mistakes that could be weakening your marketing.
- Turning business ideas into something people can see and understand.
Bring Your Design & Marketing Challenges
Get a fresh perspective on something you’re working on.
Have a website you’re unsure about? A social media post that isn’t quite working? A design decision or marketing question you can’t figure out?
Bring it along. I’ll share my professional perspective, ask questions, and help you think through possible solutions. The group can join the conversation and share ideas, too.
You don’t need a finished project or a perfectly formulated question. Just bring something you’d like another pair of eyes on.
Meet, Share & Connect
Get to know other business owners and discover new opportunities.
We’ll make time for introductions and conversation so you can share what you do, hear about others, and discover who you might want to connect with.
You might meet a potential collaborator, find a service you’ve been looking for, exchange ideas, or make a connection that continues long after the session.
Making introductions and bringing the right people together is something I love, and it’s an important part of Open Studio Live.
