Consistently attract top clients and maximize your design agency income in just 8 weeks.
Chasing Clients Who Ghost You
You spend hours messaging and following up, only to be left on read. Instead of a steady flow of leads, it feels like a guessing game.
Your Income Is a Rollercoaster
One month is good, the next is dry. Without systems and structure, you’re stuck in survival mode instead of building real freedom.
Proposals That Get Ignored
You put time into custom proposals, but clients never reply — or they come back asking for discounts. It’s exhausting and discouraging.
Tweaking Your Portfolio (Again)
You keep polishing your work, hoping “this update” will finally bring better clients. But clients don’t pay for pixels...
How?
DESIGN BUSINESS
WITHOUT WORKING MORE!
Getting consistent inquiries from dream clients who can afford to pay you.
Making $10k, $20k, or even $50k a month without chasing clients and working 24/7.
Never scrambling for one more logo this month, one more website, one more brand…
Building a profitable design business that others apply to work for.
Finally having the time for hobbies, travel, and side projects.
Or just going for a walk or to a nail salon in the middle of the day! Because #whynot
You don’t need another free workshop, another free YouTube video, or another free podcast episode. It’s time to stop DIYing it and doing everything alone!

SARAH GOODELL
“Kady’s coaching has turned my business around. My messaging is on point, my portfolio is amazing, and I am starting to get the caliber of clients that I have dreamt of for years! I know that things will only continue to improve, and I have Aventive Academy and the amazing Mastermind to thank!”
FARRAH DODSON
"Since taking the Aventive Academy courses I have DOUBLED my prices and gained so much more confidence in myself and my business. I've just recently launched my rebranded business, but I'm already getting more leads than ever before because I am running my marketing in the right way and communicating my value to potential clients."
RENATA MCELVANY
"Through the Mastermind, I found lots of clarity on where to take my business next! It was so helpful to be surrounded by other creatives who have different experiences and ideas. I asked the group so many business questions that I wasn’t finding great answers to online. Being part of a creative community is always worth the money!"
I personally scaled my solo freelance graphic design business into a successful branding agency that consistently books $20k+ clients.
I will guide you through The Creative CEO Accelerator with actionable how-to’s from my own business journey, as well as personalized advice for your unique situation.
It’s time for you to scale your design business! Work smarter and not harder.

Meet Your Mentor
and I’m a Creative Director & Design Agency Owner
Nine years ago, I was a $9/hour freelance designer. Today, I run a 6-figure design agency in Austin, TX, while traveling, taking two months off each year, and investing in real estate across the US and Europe.
I created The Creative CEO to show designers like you how to scale beyond freelancing, book $20K+ clients, and build a profitable agency without burning out.
With me as your mentor, you’ll learn how to attract dream clients, package your services, and price with confidence so you can create the freedom and flexibility you want.

Program Reviews
Lauren McCune
"When I joined The Creative CEO, I was stuck in a dead-end job. The accelerator challenged me as a business owner. I learned networking, found my specialty, revamped my website, and completely transformed my portfolio. Now, I'm even discussing graphic design work with a well-know restaurant in California– all thanks to the business skills I learned from Kady. This mastermind sharpened my design skills, boosted my confidence to charge more, and empowered me to start my own business. I highly recommend The Creative CEO; it's where I gained the courage to hire a CPA and a social media manager. Put in the effort, and you'll see the results."
KRISTAN MCARTHUR
“I've used the program to assist with proposals and sales calls and it's been so helpful! I'm currently working on a full branding package for a construction company - a $10k+ client contract. Thank you for what you've helped me to achieve!”
ESTEPHANIA GARCIA
“Before joining The Creative CEO, I felt overwhelmed and lost in my design business. I lacked clarity on how to level up. With 10 years of graphic design experience and 5 years of running my own business, I wanted to work less and earn more. That's when I discovered The Creative CEO. Kady’s guidance helped me confidently raise my rates and book clients who pay my new rates + they value my work. If you're a stuck design business owner, I highly recommend joining The Creative CEO. It offers a safe space, valuable lessons, examples, and live calls to support your business growth and establish yourself successfully in the industry.”
in our previous Accelerators have:
- Raised their rates to hit their income goals

- Made clear action plans & steps (no more wishing and hoping!)

Does that sound like you?

LAURA AGAFITEI
"The Aventive Academy Mastermind helped me gain clarity on where my brand design business is going. Through the Mastermind, I made a new marketing plan, restructured my portfolio, and raised my prices. If you’re facing ANY problems in your design business, and you’re looking for results, this Mastermind is the place to be. It's worth every single penny."
EMIR KUDIC
"I ALMOST had a $10k month! The client paid two days later, so it wasn’t technically in one month, but it was still an amazing feeling to make that much money at once. Previously, I made around $3-4k per month, and through the course I increased my monthly income by an additional $2-3k monthly.”
MORGAN PANTOJA
“Since starting Aventive Academy, I have raised my rates for branding considerably. I used to offer logo design, and I now offer 3 larger branding packages for clients to choose from. These packages range from 5x to 10x higher than what I used to charge!”
