THE DIY DESIGN COURSE FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

Good design doesn’t have to be complicated.

Your design should be working for you—telling your story, selling your offers, and supporting your growth. When you understand the design foundations (and really how to use them), design stops being the thing that slows you down…and starts being your secret weapon.

HAVE YOU BEEN FEELING FRUSTRATED ABOUT YOUR DESIGN?

If you're anything like the business owners I work with, you’ve been trying to make things look good without ever being taught how design actually works.

  • You’re constantly tweaking things…and still not loving how they look.

  • You’re proud of what you do, but your graphics don’t reflect that. (And is it maybe holding you back?)

  • You’ve bought the templates, downloaded the freebies…and still avoid posting because it doesn’t look right.

  • You’ve DIY’d your branding—but it doesn’t feel cohesive, and you’re not sure how to fix it.

What if design wasn’t the thing holding you back?

You’re not trying to become a designer.

You’re trying to grow a business—and you need visuals that help you do that, not slow you down. What if instead of frustrated…

  • You open Canva and know exactly what to do—no second-guessing, no spiral.

  • You finally understand why your designs weren’t working—and how to fix them.

  • You feel confident creating graphics, updates, and new offers on your own—until you’re ready to outsource.

That’s what The Good Design Method is all about—giving you the clarity, confidence, and systems to create designs that supports your mission.

You're not the only one who is frustrated with designing right now…

OKAY, HERE ARE A FEW

OF MY DESIGN SECRETS

  • IT’S NOT AS COMPLICATED AS IT FEELS.

Design can seem intimidating—like there’s some secret formula you missed out on. But once you understand the basics (and how to actually use them), everything clicks. It’s not magic. It’s just good strategy.

  • YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE “ARTSY” TO GET IT.

This isn’t about being creative in a traditional sense. You don’t need a design degree or perfect taste. You just need the right tools, the right approach, and someone to show you how it works in real life—not theory.

  • YOU CAN CREATE VISUALS YOU’RE PROUD OF.

You don’t have to outsource everything to feel legit. You can create beautiful, consistent graphics, pages, and posts that feel like you. And when your visuals finally match your voice? That’s when things start to grow.

INTRODUCING

The Good Design Method

A DIY design course for business owners who want to create confident, consistent visuals across their brand, website, and marketing. Low-lift, high-impact—each module takes under an hour and includes the templates and support to help you start showing up confidently. Because design shouldn’t be the thing holding up your mission—it should be the thing that helps you move faster.

DOORS CLOSE APRIL 19. STARTS APRIL 20TH ✌️

MEET YOUR DESIGN TEACHER!

Hey, I’m Stacy—and I’m here to help you finally feel confident showing up in your brand!

Before I worked with founders and creatives, I was a graphic design teacher for 6th–12th graders. Since then, I’ve taught hundreds of business owners through brand and web design, workshops, and coaching—and I’ve seen the same struggles come up again and again.

That’s exactly why I created The Good Design Method.

This isn’t about turning you into a designer.
It’s about helping you understand design—so you can make visuals that look good, feel like you, and support the business you’ve worked so hard to build.

I’m the educator-meets-designer who’s here to teach you how design really works—without the overwhelm.

Because your brand deserves to look as good as your work actually is.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • As a beta student, you're joining the very first round of The Good Design Method—which means you're getting early access, extra support, and a front-row seat to shaping what this program becomes.

    ✔️ You’ll get the lowest price this program will ever be offered
    ✔️ You’ll receive the highest level of feedback and support I’ve built into any course so far—including the 6-week Feedback Lab, live hot seat calls, and a private community.
    ✔️ You’ll have a direct impact on how this course evolves, what resources get added, and what future students experience
    ✔️ And yes—you’ll get lifetime access to all future updates and materials

    I'm testing what works best during this round, so the level of support you get during this beta may not be available in the same way later.

    If you’re someone who likes to be part of the building process—and wants hands-on support while learning—you’re going to love being part of this first group!

  • The Good Design Method officially kicks off on Sunday, April 14, when Module 1 drops into your course dashboard.

    Here’s how the rhythm of the program works:

    📅 Each Sunday: A new module unlocks with short, binge-worthy video lessons and easy-to-use templates

    📝 Each Tuesday: You can submit your work to the Feedback Lab for personalized review.

    📝 Each Thursday: I will post feedback in the Feedback Lab for your review.

    💬 Two Fridays (Weeks 2 & 4): We’ll meet live Q&A calls (your opportunity to ask your design questions in the moment!)

    You’ll also have access to the pop-up Facebook group the entire time, where you can ask questions, get feedback, and connect with other business owners going through the same process.

    The program runs over 4 weeks, but the Feedback Lab and community will stay open for 6 weeks to give you extra breathing room to catch up or get support as you implement.

    This format is designed to be flexible, supportive, and realistic—because I know you’ve got a full plate, and design shouldn’t be what slows you down.

  • No problem at all! The Feedback Lab isn’t just for brand-new designs—it’s a chance to get eyes on anything you're working on or revisit past work with fresh eyes.

    Each week, you can:

    • Practice using that module’s templates or design tools

    • Submit older graphics, website sections, or brand visuals for critique

    • Ask questions about design decisions you’re unsure about

    Whether you’re actively creating something new or just refining what you already have, this is your chance to get personalized, expert feedback—and actually improve your design skills in real time.

  • Templates can be helpful—but only if you know how to use them. This program teaches you the core design principles behind the templates, so you can confidently customize them, apply your brand, and know when something just doesn’t feel quite right (and how to fix it).

  • Nope! The principles you’ll learn apply across any platform. I use examples from platforms like Squarespace, Kajabi, and Canva—but the goal is to help you develop your design eye so you can apply what you learn anywhere.

  • No—this isn’t a done-for-you or redesign service. You’ll walk away with a refined brand board, a homepage wireframe, and marketing graphics you’ve created yourself—but the focus is on building your design knowledge and confidence, not delivering finished brand assets.

  • Each module includes about 5–10 bite-sized videos (most under 8 minutes), so you can watch in small chunks—between client calls, after school drop-off, or during that glorious post-lunch coffee window.

    You can move through the content at your own pace, but the program is designed to flow week-by-week—giving you time to learn, apply, and actually see the difference in your brand visuals.

    Whether you want to binge a full module or knock out a few lessons at a time, the format is built for flexibility—and the real wins come when you pause to implement as you go.

    This isn’t just a one-and-done kind of course.

    It’s the kind you’ll come back to anytime you’re designing something new—whether that’s a fresh homepage section, your next lead magnet, or a graphic you actually want to post on Instagram.

  • You’ll get lifetime access to the video lessons and templates, plus 6 weeks of live support (via the Feedback Lab, coaching calls, and private group).

  • Bonuses like the Canva library, templates, and resources are released alongside the core modules—so you can use them right when you need them. The Brand & Website Audit is available for fast-action signups and will be scheduled directly with me. The beta group starts April 20th, with the first videos & resources being released that evening.

  • No worries. You’ll have access to all lessons and templates forever, and the live support (feedback & community) is open for 6 full weeks to give you breathing room. This is meant to support your growth—not stress you out.

  • Nothing fancy, promise!

    Here’s what you’ll need:

    • A computer or laptop with internet access (desktop preferred for design work)

    • A free (or Pro) Canva account

    • A quiet-ish moment and maybe a snack 😉

    You don’t need any paid design software or a high-tech setup.
    Everything is delivered through a private course dashboard (Teachery), and you’ll receive templates, workbooks, and resources that are super easy to use—even if you don’t consider yourself “techy.”

    And of course, if you ever get stuck, I’m here to help ✌️

  • If you complete the first two modules and don’t feel more confident in your design skills, just send me an email within 30 days, and I’ll issue a full refund. I’m here to help you learn, not leave you stuck with something that doesn’t serve you.

Still have questions?

I’d love to chat! Not sure if this is the right fit for you? Send me a DM, and we’ll talk it through! I’m here to make sure you feel confident every step of the way.
