“Most freelance designers struggle to hit €10k/month.
The main reason?
A trap 90% of freelancers never escape:
Billing their time instead of building a system.
This is what we used to deal with when starting out:
→ Endless feedback rounds
→ A 2-week project drags into 8
→ We couldn't take on new clients because we were still drowning in the last one

- Limited to 20 spots
- €590 beta price (instead of 990€)
- Starting March 24th
