CANCELLED Read next post to find out what happened, & learn on if the biggest lessons in running a design business (or any) - in real time as it happened to me.
As some of you know, despite not really actively designing for a couple of years now as I've been working on building & launching a PropTech software company, I've agreed to help an investor of mine. He has a nursing home that needs design help...and I realized this is an INCREDIBLE opportunity for my Degree-less Design community!

What it is:
It's very last minute, & it took me a hot minute to figure out the best ways to structure this for you in a way where I wont totally burn out, and where I can maximize the learning experience for you. So far, I set up one live option with two payment options. The live option means we would be meeting on Zoom for about 10* weeks, once or twice a week. In those live sessions you'll be getting real time walk throughs of the steps of the project. From the business, technical & design perspectives. That means discussing the consult, proposal, contract, timeline, design steps & stages, project management, purchasing, site visits, install etc. Literally everything I'll be doing, you'll be along the ride for. Sign up here
You'll also have mirrored work each week. What does that mean? That means I'll treat you somewhat like an intern & give you tasks. I'm up to direction boards? We're all doing direction boards. I'm sourcing material & furniture? We're all sourcing. We'll have opportunities for Q&A, & there's even a chance some of your work or decisions make into the final design! No matter what, this is a huge collective of education, real experience, & an opportunity to build your portfolio. Even more...in order for you to participate in the live version, you need the templates & tools I use...& that will be part of your package. It is a STEAL for what I'll actually be doing for you & with you, what you'll walk away with. I don't know if & when I'd take another design job so this really is a once in a lifetime thing potentially, & due to how much work it will entail on my end, I can only handle a limited of number of you in the live class...this isn't something you want to wait on. There may not be a seat if you do. More Info Here
How:
You'll have the option to pay upfront for a discounted rate, or to pay the upfront cost & then the weekly payments as we go along. (The schedule is not exact as it may fluctuate with the design project schedule, & may end up having extended weeks with sessions that would be optional.)
All of this is very exciting but...it's been bothering me that it's such a huge opportunity, that many people simply cant afford. Certainly not so last minute. At it's cheapest, it costs about $1400 (If you've already enrolled in the Crash Course you get a discount of $297) and while it has a value of over $3k EASILY...it's still expensive for many. *Repost 10 videos on social media for an extra 10% off, post a video about participating in the Live Internship Workshop & tag the Degree-less Design account) for an extra 10% off as well - yes, you can stack!
Can’t join the live internship? You can still experience it all — at your own pace.
So, I've come up with a 3rd option. I am going to create a NON LIVE version, that will be a digital course updating as I go along with the project. It will have written & video. It will not contain all of the tools, perhaps some. But will walk you through using them as part of the project & provide 50% off codes for them if you'd like them. This option will stay up as an evergreen course - no rush. But, for those of you choose to pre-order it before it's started-use code DDINTERNSHIPFIRST for 30% off! That code will expire on Nov. 5th 2025.
