"Last year, I enrolled in Dream to Design and I can't express enough gratitude for the knowledge gained. It empowered me to launch Mimi Studio shortly after completing the course. Since then, I've been blessed to work with so many talented vendors and clients. I'm enjoying every moment of being a wedding stationer!"

"I was a part of Dream to Design, and said at the time that my goal was to quit my 9 to 5 and take my stationery business full time. Well friends... I'm excited to share that TODAY is actually my first official day of self-employment 🎉 I'm celebrating over here today!

From knowing nothing about stationery to $40k revenue in one year

Last year I started from literally nothing😂 from not even knowing how to register an LLC, to being terrified of using the Adobe programs, let alone trying to scout out reputable vendors I can trust for printing and other services.

This course gave me both the foundational knowledge and confidence to build a business…more than my college degree ever did. 😅

This last year I was able to earn 40k in total revenue and almost 1,000 Instagram followers- my goals were initially to gain 400 followers and earn 4k in revenue! THANK YOU! You are truly an inspiration and amazing at what you do.

I'm Elisabeth

And I educate calligraphers, artists, and aspiring stationers (just like you!) how to build a profitable, thriving stationery business.

I built my multiple six figure stationery business from the ground up. With zero background in graphic design, art, or business, I bootstrapped my way to the top of a competitive industry.

I’m here to encourage you and remind you that if I can do it, so can you. I’ll say this many times throughout our journey together, so let me start now: there is space for you.

you don't have to be special to do this. you just have to be committed.

Let me help you get there!

what our students are saying

From knowing almost nothing to...

I went from knowing almost nothing to feeling like the process was something I could take on, simply from watching all of Elisabeth's videos and learning from her supportive teaching style. The community is also invaluable, where you can ask any question you have and fellow stationery students are there to help one another!

"Trust me, it's worth every penny"

I was shocked at just how much Elisabeth shares with her students - truly no gatekeeping here! It goes over tons of design topics, has program tutorials specific to stationery design, and includes loads of resources. This course has helped me find my specific design style and made me a more confident designer. Trust me, it is worth every penny!

$3,200 client booked within 3 months!

Within 3 months of taking this course I booked my first client... with a $3,200 package!! I don't even have my website up and running yet, but this course helped me lay the groundwork for my business, get a system in order, and gave me the courage to pitch my design services. I'm so, so glad I took the plunge!
