Whether you're gearing up to ditch the 9–5 and go all in on your design business, or you’ve already made the leap but feel stuck in trial-and-error mode, the Banter Business Lab is where your next level begins.

This isn’t about doing it alone. Inside the lab, you’ll join a small crew of creative minds experimenting, evolving, and scaling together. I’ll be your mad lab instructor — guiding you through the messy middle, the “what do I even do next?” spirals, and the systems that actually work.

Bring your big goals. Bring your stuck spots. Leave with clarity, confidence, and a design business built to last.

Step into the lab, ditch the chaos, and start running your creative business like the Lead Scientist CEO you’re meant to be


This mentorship is your permission slip to stop guessing and start growing.

You’re winging it without a marketing strategy or smooth client systems.

You know your work is worth more, but you’re undercharging or second-guessing your pricing.

You’ve got clients, but everything behind the scenes feels messy and unscalable.

does your Business feel like it's about to implode?

You want to feel confident and in control — like a real business owner, not just a freelancer.

not that it matters but....

After leading marketing at a tech company and being laid off at 28, I realized I was done building someone else’s dream. I wanted to build mine — and help other creatives do the same.

In fall 2023, I launched my first offer and made $10K in two weeks — while still working my 9–5. Four months later, I quit my job and went full-time. Since then, I’ve doubled my corporate income, launched two sold-out beta offers, and built a studio that’s booked out with aligned clients.

In short: I’ve tested the formulas, streamlined the workflows, and built the systems. Now I’m handing over the lab notes so you can do the same — without burning out or second-guessing yourself.
