So much information, jam packed I just loved it! I couldn't sleep last night I was so inspired! I had to limit myself to a few sessions a day so I didn't over do it but it was hard choosing as there was so much gold! Thank you so much Krista!

Running a design business is not all cute icons and gorgeous moodboards.
You love what you do, but know you know there's got to be a way to make it all easier and more effective. The design part of your business is great...but the rest you'd rather do without.
What you really want is to...
Pull in new clients on
auto-pilot...without wondering where the next one is coming from.
Stand out and make the $$ you deserve...instead of feeling like you're getting lost in the crowd.
Give your clients an experience they HAVE to share with friends...hello referrals and repeat customers!
Create a solid and simple design process...to help you save time and keep your projects organized.
Create a business and schedule that serves YOU...and not just your clients.
You can have all of these things without constantly adding more to your plate.
The best part: It can be simple.
The Simply Profitable Designer Summit is about just that.
Simplifying.
35 experts will teach you strategies you can use to both improve and simplify your design business, no matter which stage you’re at.
It was so inspiring to learn from and interact with designers from all over the world who have either gone through or are going through the same growing pains I am. I am so pumped-up and inspired with everything I learned and I can't wait to put it all into practice!
- Tamar Brown
Maybe you're...
Frustrated because you know you're undercharging and it's time to change.
Feeling like you're always behind, and never making any real progress in your business.
Working too hard to get new clients, rather than bringing them in on autopilot.
Whatever it is for you, it’s time to simplify.
MEET YOUR HOST
Hey! I’m Krista, a WordPress developer for designers and virtual summit strategist with a passion for making processes simple and removing the parts of businesses that aren’t working well. After all, with two businesses, a podcast, and two little girls at home, simplifying is the ONLY way I can manage it all.
I created this summit to help you to fix the pieces of your business that aren’t working well so you can become more profitable and stress-free, while making more time for what you love - design.
I'm just starting out and this summit was so much more than I could have hoped for. The best part was that I could watch it from my home in Portugal, at the hours I wanted and with speakers that could answer to my many questions and much more. It was amazing and I can't wait to implement what I've learned!
- Ana Zagalo, Zagalo Creative Studio
Just for designers
There are a lot of business-growth summits, training, and workshops out there. So what makes this one different?
First, this is the original summit focused specifically on helping designers with their business. We've been going for 5 years now and it just keeps getting better! This isn't general advice for any creative business out there. Every presentation is specialized for the type of business you run as a designer, making it super practical and easy to implement right away.
More importantly, we're not here to add to your plate. Our goal isn't to throw new strategies and tasks at you, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and like there's no way you can do enough. Instead, we're here to take what you're already doing and optimize it in a way that makes your business more profitable and stress-free while creating more time for the part you love - design!
