Design Business Fundamentals

"Dawn Lee is the Designer that Influences Influencers" - Chris Guillebeau (New York Times Best Selling Author of $100 Startup) DLD.academy's comprehensive 8-week graphic design course will cover both the creative side and the business side of running a design business.  Our head instructor Dawn Lee has built her business from the ground up and was once a jobless college graduate with 0 industry connections.  Now she works with clients who are brands with global reach and influencers with millions of followers.   If you are looking to level up your design business, you should learn from someone with a proven track record of producing quality work for high profile clients such as Fenty Beauty, Colorpop, Laurdiy, and Jenn Im.  You should also work with someone who has helped others produce their own results.  Some DLD.academy students have found their first client before they even finish the program.    Cutting edge graphic design techniques optimized for today's social media platforms such as Youtube and Instagram is not often taught in school, let alone how to secure clients or properly manage larger-scale projects.  This class was created to build the foundation necessary to launch a design agency regardless of previous experience.
