    How to build a 7-figure solo industrial design consultancy.

    Most industrial designers sell drawings and prototypes — and cap themselves at a designer's rate. The shift is repositioning from designer to product commercialisation consultant: now you get paid for the client's win, not just the deliverable. For every client ready to invest in design, there are a hundred more who just need someone to validate the idea and show them the path — and positioned as the consultant, you capture all of them. Patrick breaks down how to run the whole machine solo: productised validation offers, tiered consulting, royalty and finder's-fee deals, all funded by treating marketing as an investment instead of a cost. The result is a seven-figure consultancy run by one person — because the words you use determine what you get paid.

    How to build highly profitable design consulting offers.

    Most designers sell raw ingredients — raw materials the client has to figure out how to use. The shift to consultant means taking responsibility for the client's entire outcome, their "champagne moment." Patrick shows how to package your intellectual property into tiered Zoom consulting offers (two hours, five hours, ten hours), dramatically expanding your marketing surface area and the problems you can charge to solve. The result is asymmetric profit: two hours of your expertise can earn $10,000. Design alone can't do that. Consulting isn't a reinvention — it's bolting pure profit onto what you already do.

    From Design Vendor to Trusted Advisor: The Positioning Shift That Changes Everything

    Most designers stay stuck delivering “pretty” work… because that’s how they’ve been positioned from day one. But the real opportunity? Repositioning yourself as a strategic partner who drives business outcomes—not just aesthetics. In this episode, we unpack the mindset shift that turns designers into indispensable advisors. We cover how to stop getting typecast as the vendor, and start entering conversations as the expert who can help clients make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and move their business forward. You’ll learn how to reason from first principles, apply investor-style thinking, and uncover hidden leverage in industries you already serve—so you can charge more for your thinking, not just your time. We also break down how to use simple, low-risk conversations to build intellectual property, create new offers, and reposition yourself in markets that value strategy over surface. If you're ready to stop being seen as “just the designer” and start getting paid like the partner your clients actually need—this episode is your blueprint.

    From $3K Logos To $22K Packages With Kaleb Dean

    In this episode, I sit down with Kaleb Dean — founder of Studio Stendo and one of the deepest design thinkers I know — for a conversation about pricing, purpose, and building a creative business that gives you freedom without sacrificing your craft.Caleb shares how his journey from academia to agency ownership forced him to unlearn what design school taught him about value — and instead focus on becoming a business owner first and a designer second. We dig into the mindset shift that helped him move from $3K logos to $22K brand strategy packages, and how asking better questions around business outcomes completely changed the trajectory of his sales process.We also talk about autonomy — time, financial, and creative — and how his family's needs (like flying regularly between Idaho and Chicago) became the real pressure that forced him to level up. Caleb opens up about the compounding power of content, the underestimated ROI of one-on-one conversations, and why your first 100 pieces of content are really just you learning how to think clearly in public.This one's a thoughtful, honest look at what it actually takes to go from high-level creative to high-impact business owner. If you're someone who knows you're a strong designer but you're still not getting paid accordingly, you’ll resonate deeply with this episode.Want help building a more profitable design business?
