The Profitable Brand Designer is a self-paced course designed to help you grow your design business to 6+ figures a year, make the shift from freelancer to CEO, and attract higher-end, more profitable clients. 

And you know in order to change that you need to:

This course is for you if you:

Invest time on improving your own branding and business processes.
Figure out your passion projects to avoid working with clients that don't align with your business strengths.
Learn how to market your business appropriately and speak to your ideal clients.
Learn to up-level your offerings to
charge more.
Learn about software and programs that will streamline your projects.
Stop daydreaming and start doing... Take action TODAY to becoming a profitable brand designer!
Are a talented, freelance graphic designer wanting to get more out of your business, meaning you are:
  • Tired of taking on small projects, overworking yourself and not getting paid your worth.
  • Wanting to increase the quality of your client base by attracting clients with larger budgets, positioning your business as the premium option. 
  • Ready to make 6+ figures doing what you love!
Need help with the “business” side of your business, since we all know this is something we don’t learn in art school.
Are overwhelmed and unsure of how to streamline your projects and services.
Are motivated to put in the work to get your business where it needs to be... PROFITABLE!
Have ever completed a project realizing you undercharged, leaving you with a sense of resentment - finding yourself trapped, feeling unable to increase your prices due to the fear of losing potential quality clients.
Are constantly prioritizing other people's businesses over your own. Finding yourself trapped in a never-ending cycle of burning the midnight oil, feeling exhausted, and lacking creativity. As a result, never finding time to focus on building or marketing your own business.
Are constantly reinventing the wheel for each proposal and project without a clear strategy. 
Feel you have “imposter syndrome.” You think you might be able to charge more, but unsure about pricing strategies and still want to have competitive rates.
Are tired of soul-sucking clients who leave no time for building up your own business.
Rely on hourly pay and lacking alternative options if client demand decreases.

I'M READY!

I’m Kim Russo, and I understand exactly how you’re feeling because I’ve been in your shoes.

I’ve always been creative with an entrepreneurial spirit. I knew when I went to art school at the Fashion Institute of Technology that I never wanted to be a starving artist, so I decided to join the digital world of graphic design. I lived in NYC for over 15 years, working with large design firms and having the opportunity to work with major brands like Gillette Razors, Huggies Diapers, Duane Reade. Bird’s Eye, Kleenex, Crest, Tide, Sephora, Clinique, Wawa, Milk Bone, and Vigaro to name a few. 

Through these experiences, I learned a lot, but I realized that a 9-5 corporate job just wasn’t for me and I was ready to fulfill my dream of starting my own design agency. So, in 2018, On Brand Designs was born. 

The first two years of owning my own business was not easy. I was taking in whatever work I could get - didn’t matter what it was - and I was doing it all by myself. I never took a day off and dedicated myself to growing this business at all hours of the day, doing whatever it took to make it work. 

Every once in a while, I had time to daydream about the future of my business, usually on road trips with my boyfriend. I would talk about how I wanted my business to grow - I wanted to make more money, find better clients, and hire team members so that I could maybe, just maybe, take some time off for the first time in years. There was just one problem - I went to school for art design, not business. I had no clue where to start or how to bring this dream to reality. 

I knew the only way would be to learn from others. I decided to invest in my business by signing up for courses and hiring business coaches to help guide me. This was the best thing I could have ever done for myself and my business! I learned all the tools and systems to help me transition from freelancer to CEO of a design agency. 

Hey, I'm Kim

Streamlined my sales flow to provide the highest level of service for my clients

Now I...

some kind words

I condensed and simplified everything I have learned into The Profitable Brand Designer course to share my business knowledge with other brand designers aspiring to grow their own businesses. It can be hard trying to figure out what to do next or where to start, but my course gives you all the answers in one place.
