And I’ll be the host for this workshop! I’m the Director of Community and Education here at Mydoma. I am formerly the founder of eDesign U, the largest virtual school for continued eDesign business education. I launched my first online course to educate designers on how to run a successful business and over the next 3 years continued to add to the curriculum with many other business-building classes and certification programs.
As a practicing designer myself, what I’ll teach you during this event is a proven service that I’ve built and perfected for my own business. And it works! I have a comfortable pipeline of projects that allow me to do the kind of work I want to do, and getting paid well for it!

Here’s what designers have had to say about previous Live events
When I signed up for '19H - The Blueprint', I was unsure how, and if, I would be able to use the information provided in the course for my business. I am thankful I invested the time, as Mydoma Studio provided a workbook, customizable templates and the entire powerpoint presentation; which I then took and put together in a binder I refer to on a regular basis. This was truly time well spent!”
Eric Reeves Eric Reeves RYS Interior Consulting
"We learned so much at the Blueprint about process and organization! Our interior design mantra is 'live easy' and Mydoma fits that! Adding the STUDIO to our process has made our user experience transformational. 19:H The blueprint was a game changer for our business!”
