On paper, my business offers B2B Creative Services. But let me tell you what that actually means.

Our work goes beyond making things look good, on-brand, and easy to understand. Through design, we help businesses solve real problems.

Our clients see us as trusted advisors rather than just another creative vendor.

How? By taking the time to understand sales processes, marketing strategies, and business operations. This knowledge helps us create much higher quality work with fewer rounds of revisions from.

We do better work, deliver it faster, and get paid more.

For designers either growing into, or thinking about starting in graphic design, know that the magic lies at the intersection of creativity, technical ability, and business acumen. When you master that, you become invaluable.

Speaking intelligently and confidently, whether to an internal manager or a freelance client, will immediately make you more valuable.

The compensation changes from who has the cheapest hourly rate to who can deliver the most value.

In this course I teach how you can do the same.

Why Trust Me With Your Design Career?

I've spent 20 years in the trenches. My journey began like yours. As a junior designer, I spent my days making edits requested by sales and marketing people who knew nothing about design. Over 15 years, I worked up the ranks to Creative Director and then a VP before going out and starting my own agency.

Along the way I discovered businesses desperately need designers who understand their language.

I'm new to Maven, but I am not new to mentoring designers. Here's a few pieces of feedback I'm proud of:

"Coming out of university felt like a joke compared to the real world. Theory meant nothing when my bosses basically treated me like dirt, even when clients were happy. I felt like a total imposter, constantly doubting myself because the feedback was always negative, never constructive. Taking Pete's course was like flipping a switch. He actually teaches you how to talk about your designs in a way that connects to what businesses care about. It's helped me push back (politely!) and feel like I actually deserve a seat at the table."

Agency Designer (4 years experience)

"Trying to build a good resume and portfolio when you're just starting out is SO hard, especially when your day job involves endless edits to existing work. Pete gets it. This course was super practical, we actualy made stuff I could use."

Freelance Designer (2 years exp)

"Competing with egos, toxic bosses... I was thinking of looking around at other careers. It was pretty down. I was hesitant to sign up for a course, but Pete's mentorship was exactly what I needed. It felt like a supportive space, totally different from the competitive, demoralizing environments I'd been in. Actually interacting with other designers who get it and getting direct, constructive feedback was huge. It wasn't just about design, it was about finding a community and regaining the confidence to speak up. Highly recommend if you're feeling burnt out."
