“The lecture lengths are short enough to listen on drives or a lunch break -- perfect for the working graphic designer! This course helped me niche down my clientele, assisted my vision for the future of my business, and helped with my content marketing.”
Hey there!
own a branding and design agency, and I'm booking $12k, $15k and even $20,000 projects.
I built my branding & design agency on the side while still juggling a 9-5, and now I want to teach you how to do the same based on the proven strategies I used!
I was working all the time, and I tried everything you can possibly imagine. I was constantly improving my design skills, posting on Instagram, trying Facebook ads, going to networking events… but nothing was working.
I’m now also the founder of Aventive Academy, a platform that helps you start and grow your freelance brand, web or graphic design business.
I’m happy you’re here and can’t wait to see you inside the course! By the time you’re done, I know you will be so happy and proud that you invested in yourself and created the business of your dreams.
Time is the most precious resource you have, and once you waste it, you can’t get it back. We will show you which strategies actually work and how to do them right the first time.
The Profitable Designer Program is a 12-week step-by-step program that will teach you the exact methods to go from working for someone else to becoming the CEO of your own creative company!
At the beginning of my freelance career, my vision was simple:
I just wanted to create a profitable business and have amazing clients, consistent income, and the flexibility of being my own boss. I wanted to hit six figures on my own terms. I wanted to sleep soundly at night without panicking about money or client issues.
Does this sound like you too?
Our students

“Before discovering these courses, I felt like I hit a brick wall and was at a dead-end in my design career. It was like Kady read my mind and offered exactly what I needed to achieve future success for my graphic design business.”

“I have built a small business that is my own and that allows me to provide a service I am passionate about. Aventive Academy’s program has given me an immense amount of confidence. Before I started I had never worked with contracts, I felt nervous to charge hardly anything, I felt overwhelmed by how to start, and I had no clear goals.
Now I have contracts, a business task organizer, financial systems in place, invoices created, an ideal client, organized branding, and clear-cut weekly and monthly goals. I finally feel confident in myself as a service provider!”

“Through the courses, I learned to niche my graphic design business down to build a more lucrative client-base. I also gained wonderful tools to create my service agreement, a unique business proposal, and a variety of pricing structures.”
Matus
“I connected a lot with the lesson that talks about expanding your team. Before, I never felt prepared to outsource or delegate any tasks. But once I went over the lesson, the idea of finding help while I focused on my clients made so much sense!”
