Start Your Creative Career is a roadmap for turning your passion for design into a real, thriving career—whether you want to freelance, work in-house, build a business, or explore multiple revenue streams. This course is less about pixels and more about positioning, purpose, and building momentum.
You’ll learn how to set creative goals, find your niche, build a portfolio that gets attention, and attract clients or employers who value your work.
