The design industry is tough—limited support, conflicting advice, and a lot of figuring it out alone.

Hey, I'm Chris,
I’ve been there too.
I’ve spent 12 years in product design hiring designers, leading teams, and freelancing and job hunting myself. I’ve seen what’s changed — great designers getting ghosted, bootcamp grads with no real plan, and mid-level folks trying to grow without support.
That’s why I built The Design Co.
I coach early to mid-career designers who want to land jobs, grow in their roles, or earn income on the side. No fluff, no one-size-fits-all advice.
I’ve felt it too—the ghosting, the noise, AI pushing the bar higher. The system may be flawed, but your skills aren’t.
Guess less. Grow faster.
Guess less. Grow faster.
If you go it alone…
You’ll second-guess how to grow in your role, make more of an impact, or get noticed.
You’ll spend hours cold applying to black holes and not hearing back.
You’ll put off freelancing because you don't know where to begin.
But it doesn’t have to be this way. You just need support from someone who’s been there—and helped others through it.
or
When you get the right support...
You gain visibility and level-up at work with confidence.
You land interviews and clearly show why you’re a strong fit.
You take the first steps toward freelancing or building your side business.
It’s not magic. It’s just a better system.
