Sarah Jutras will teach you how to freelance sustainably.

Talking (or even thinking) about business still feels like a taboo in the creative industry—especially for designers. For a long time, I felt like I had very few resources that helped me bridge the gap between creative work and authentic, effective business thinking. It always seemed like I had two options: reinvent the wheel from scratch or sell my soul to social media just to find clients. And even if they came, I had no idea whether I had the structure to support them—no system to document the work, no defined process, no sense of the kind of experience I wanted to offer… or even who my ideal clients were. Designing Your Freelance Business helped me connect the dots. It brought together all the moving pieces of running a business and revealed key areas I hadn’t been able to clarify on my own. The course was a genuinely enriching experience—especially because of the community it created. It was powerful to connect with people from different backgrounds who were wrestling with the same kinds of questions. Whether you're already freelancing or just starting to flirt with the idea, I highly recommend this course. Sarah is a generous, grounded instructor who fosters a warm, welcoming environment for learning and growth.

Sarah is an amazing teacher. She really eases her students into the world of freelancing in no-pressure way that provides plenty of resources and a step-by-step approach to accomplishing everything a new business owner needs to get going.

The thought and care Sarah puts into this course and walking folks through how to set up a successful freelance business is tangible at every step. I've been a designer for a decade when I took this course and went in thinking I had a good sense of what I needed to do and just needed some templates, but in the three weeks with Sarah learned SO MUCH valuable information that I hadn't even thought of. While a lot of work, I feel innumerable more prepared for how to get my freelance business off the ground, in a way I wouldn't have had I opted to figure everything out myself.

Loved the structure, content, and teacher. Very helpful.

Sarah is a great instructor and a fabulous resource. She took a fairly scary concept of being your own boss and breaking it down to remove some fear! The assignments were always in service of getting you towards your final goal and the discussions she led with the other students in class were super valuable. I'd recommend this course for anyone who's considering going out on their own!
