[ Sound familiar ]

Right now, your next client depends on luck. It doesn't have to.

You're good at the work. Your clients come from friends, ex-colleagues and the odd referral. When a project ends, you start looking, and the next one takes weeks to land. Then it happens again.

[ Who it's for ]

Built for three situations

For product and UX designers with a few years of practice. Find the one that sounds like you.

Employed

“I want to go freelance, but not without clients lined up.”

What worries you

  • Quitting and landing zero clients
  • Trading a salary for months without income
  • Not knowing who would actually pay you

Freelance < 1 year

“I don't know where my next project will come from.”

What worries you

  • A month with no project coming in
  • Lowering your price just to get the work
  • Relying on friends and ex-colleagues forever

Freelance 1+ years

“I only prospect when a project ends.”

What worries you

  • Feast-or-famine months
  • Starting to prospect when it's already too late
  • Referrals that slowly dry up

Not for you if you want prettier screens, an agency to manage, or guaranteed income.

[ What's inside ]

Everything you need to find clients on your own.

Lessons, weekly calls, a community and ready-to-use tools, so you never depend on referrals again.

Mindset

The mental blocks that stop you from applying the rest of the course — like not sending the quote.

[ Included ]

Your freelance business, with the right tools.

Persona, pricing, outreach and offers: the tools a freelance designer needs to run the business, not just the design.

Persona builder

Build your buyer persona section by section, and move it from assumed to observed by logging real conversations.

Day rate calculator

Start from the income you want to pay yourself and work back to your day rate, non-billable days included.

Outreach message library

Prospecting messages by company stage — pre-seed to enterprise — and by trigger, with their follow-up sequence.

Offer builderComing soon

Turn your persona into a packaged offer: outcome, scope, timeline, price.

More tools are on the way.

I build them for my own freelance work first. When a tool earns its place in my week, it ships to the course.

[ Weekly calls ]

A 1:1 call with me, every week

The modules give you the method. The weekly call is where we apply it to your clients, your offer and your pipeline.

Your actions this week

  • Write the offer page in 5 lines
  • Send it to 3 people from your list

[ Outcomes ]

By the end, you'll have…

A pipeline you can predict

Where your buyers are and how to reach them, so the next project is lined up before this one ends.

Messages that get replies

What to send, to whom, and when: messages built on a trigger, with the follow-ups that go with them.

An offer clients buy

One outcome, a clear scope, a timeline and a price. Something a client can say yes to on the first call.

A price that matches your value

A floor you calculated, priced on the outcome you deliver, and stated without justifying it.

A sales process you repeat

The same steps every time, from the first call to the signed proposal.

A system that runs every week

10 minutes a week that keep prospecting going, even in the weeks you're delivering.

[ Who teaches it ]

A working product designer, not a coach who stopped designing.

Pricing will be shared at launch, with the waitlist first.

You get one email when the course opens, with the date and the program. No newsletter in between, and your address is never sold or shared.

The course assumes you already know how to design. It covers everything around it: choosing who to target, selling, finding clients, and delivering in a way that gets you referred.

The course is written in French. Some lessons are already available in English.

Every week you wait is a week without prospecting.

10 minutes a week is the whole system. Start with 1 minute now.
