What Other Designers Are Saying:
I really enjoying the process. There is a lot to learn, and every interaction is proving so. It can be confusing at times as there is a lot of learn, understand, organize and action. Starting a brand for the first time is a daunting task, but incredibly exciting and empowering as well. You just have to be prepared to try."
-Jade McCartney
"Loved catching up with Julia! She has a real talent for giving constructive and valuable feedback. I’m really excited to work on some points we talked over to continue to refine my idea and distill the product for design! It was super reassuring to have her support and encouragement!"
— Zoe Rowell-Flight Wear
I’m really appreciating the abundance of information at my fingertips.
I think the steps to tapping into your niche market are really outstanding and I can now see how helpful this will be to stay on track during the business journey.
I also really appreciate having different options suggested, which I can take away with me and know I can veer my path (at an appropriate stage of course) to achieve my goals.
