"Did I do it right?" has always been at the back of your mind
You are ready for:

You know you need more sales to afford better branding but you wonder if your branding is holding back your sales
A better option: Make It Club
The Make It Club is a small group design program that bridges the gap between higher-end done-for-you services and unsupported DIY courses.
This program ensures that you walk away with a professional looking brand, website, labels (and more!), made for your business, by you, with the guidance of a professional designer.
I’m Amy, a professional graphic designer who has coached entrepreneurs like you through programs like CEED, CBDC, and Solo School. I created the Make It Club because I have seen so many entrepreneurs struggle as they try to do things themselves but struggle with learning on their own or doubt that they have done it right. My whole why is to empower others so that we see opportunity and I want to see you make it!
I wanted to create a space where you could make what you need with professional support. You’ll walk away with professional looking assets and the confidence that they will be effective and easy to use.

Done with You is the Best Option
Other options have drawbacks:
Done for you– High-End Agencies: Great work, but cost $5k–$10k+.
Do It Yourself– Online Courses: Cheap, but leave you frustrated with no feedback or support on your specific work.
- Done with you– Make It Club- We combine the best of both worlds. You get the affordability of a DIY environment with the support and expert eye of a professional designer on your work.

FAQs
Absolutely. The Make It Club isn’t about teaching you to be an artist from scratch; it’s about teaching you to make decisions. We provide the frameworks, and your job is to follow the process. Plus, unlike a DIY course where you are left guessing, here you get a professional designer reviewing your work to tell you exactly what to fix.
Templates are great, but they are generic. A template doesn’t know your business strategy, and it doesn’t tell you if you’ve “broken” the design by adding too many words or using the wrong colours. The Make It Club combines the ease of templates with the strategy of a custom agency. We ensure you don’t just fill in the blanks, but that you fill them in correctly for your specific audience.
No. We focus on accessible, user-friendly tools that you likely already use or can access for free/low cost- Canva. The goal is to make your brand sustainable for you to manage long-term, not to force you into a steep learning curve with complex professional software.
We built this for business owners, not design students. The curriculum is stripped of fluff and theory. We focus purely on implementation. You should expect to spend about 90mins per week in class and then whatever you can manage to tie up loose ends. There is time provided in class for you to work so you don’t have to later. Remember: the time you spend here saves you hours of frustration trying to “fix” ugly graphics later.
You certainly can, but you often get what you pay for. Cheap design often lacks strategy—it might look “pretty,” but it won’t necessarily convert your customers or tell your story. In the Make It Club, you get the strategic oversight of a high-end designer for a fraction of the cost, ensuring your assets actually work for your business goals. If you decide you want a done for you service, let’s chat about it.
That is exactly why this is a Club and not just a course. In addition to the sprint calls, we have a weekly office hours session (Wednesdays) where you can ask questions and get unstuck immediately. We are here to ensure you cross the finish line with everything you need.
Some key questions to ask:
- Do I know how to create anything I need without reinventing the wheel?
- Could I easily hand off information like colour values and font styles to someone else?
- When I look across all of my channels, do things feel cohesive and consistent?
If you answered “no” to any of these, you could probably benefit from the Make It Club.
If you are still unsure, book a brand audit and we can go through your brand together.
