Studiolaunch. a 6 week coaching program helping web design freelancers launch & lead their own studios

Do you aspire to create a successful design studio that...

attracts high paying clients?

No more clients running away because they don’t trust you have the resources they need. Build a presence that commands respect.

Takes work off your plate?

No more late nights working alone. Create more time freedom by learning how to outsource and duplicate yourself.

Creates financial independence?

Charge more for your services by establishing your own company.

multiples your impact?

You already do amazing work by yourself, imagine what that looks like with more support around you. Multiply the amount of work you can take on.

Here's how I helped these freelancers achieve this

*One on one call* "During my one-on-one with Dexter, I gained the confidence and clarity to transition from an independent designer to launching my own studio. Previously feeling like I needed industry 'permission', Dexter's guidance dispelled my doubts and affirmed that I was ready for this exciting leap in my career."

"StudioLaunch gave me the resources I needed to launch my studio. It's been difficult finding the time to sit and research all that I need to know, so it was crucial for me to get a platter of bite sized, yet important information at a set time every week. I was able to leave the program with full confidence that I can succeed."

“One of the best coaches I’ve ever had. He’s done it himself so it’s super easy to trust his advice as regards to my own agency ‘The SEOFLOW’. He helped me build my network and has plenty of advice that helped me in my journey.”
