The Makers University  ·  A Guided Virtual Week

“I have a hundred ideas and no idea where to start.” “Everyone says my work is beautiful. It still isn’t really selling.” “I used to love this. I want that feeling back.”

If any of that sounds like you, you’re exactly who this is for.

The Creative Week is a calm, guided week where our coaches design fall and Halloween right alongside you, and Damon shows you how to get your work seen by the people who’d love it. Watch live at 7pm CST or catch the replay. You walk into your biggest season with your spark and a plan in hand.

One payment. Five days. Your biggest season, finally handled.

You don’t need more ideas for fall. You need one clear direction, and a simple way to get your work in front of the people who’d want it.

The compliments come easy. “This is beautiful.” “You should sell these.” “I’d buy that.”

But somewhere between the compliments and actual sales, something isn’t adding up.

Maybe the spark got buried under everything on your plate, and you want it back.

Maybe you’ve never lost the love. You’re full of ideas and just want a clear direction.

Maybe your work already sells, and you want the marketing side to feel as good as the making.

Here’s the truth. You already make things worth paying for. Nobody ever taught you how to sell them. That isn’t a flaw. It’s just a skill you haven’t been shown yet.

Right now
“Everyone says my work is beautiful. It still isn’t selling.”
After this week
“I know what to make, and exactly how to get it in front of the right people.”

Fall is your biggest season, and it’s coming whether you’re ready or not. This is where you get ready.

The Creative Week

A calm, guided week that helps you fall back in love with making, and walk into your biggest season with your fall designs ready, a head start on Halloween, and a simple plan to get what you make in front of the right people.

Five days. One calm week. A season you’re finally ready for.

Each part builds on the one before it. You come to create, and you leave with something real in hand, not just notes.

Nights 1 & 2 · Aug 11 & 12 · 7pm CST

Find your fall direction

From “too many ideas, no idea where to start” to “one clear direction for the season.”
  • Why fall feels like too much, and how to choose a lane you can commit to
  • Watch your coaches set the tone with the anchor designs for the season
  • How to stop second-guessing before you even begin
You leave with: a clear direction for fall, instead of forty open tabs.
Nights 3 & 4 · Aug 13 & 14 · 7pm CST

Build a fall collection

From “a pile of one-off pieces” to “a collection that belongs together.”
  • Watch core fall designs come together live, decision by decision
  • How strong choices create cohesion across different styles
  • Stretch a few ideas into a fuller collection, across pieces and price points
You leave with: fall designs you understand and can repeat your own way.
Saturday · Aug 15 · 11am & 1pm CST · with Damon

Get your work seen

From “everyone compliments it, nobody buys” to “I know exactly what to post, and who it’s for.”
  • Not another business plan. The actual doing.
  • What to post, how to write the caption, and how to film the reel
  • The kinds of content that get handmade work noticed, and how to make them
  • A live Q&A to get your own questions answered
You leave with: your next stretch of content mapped out, and the know-how to make it.
Bonus · Yours the moment you join

The Halloween Design Library

Watch our coaches make a full set of Halloween designs, pre-recorded and yours to keep. Get ahead on the spooky season before the live week even begins.

Is this for you?

However you got here, you’re welcome.

This is for you if

  • You make seasonal work, and fall is a big season for you
  • You have plenty of ideas but want one clear direction
  • You love making, and you’re ready for it to feel like a real business
  • You learn best by watching real designs come together, not reading steps
  • You want to know exactly what to post, not just be told to post more

This isn’t for you if

  • You want a fast, one-size-fits-all formula with no explanation
  • You’re looking for high-pressure, pushy marketing tactics
  • You’d rather work entirely on your own than create alongside a group

What’s included for $50

Everything you need for the week, yours from the moment you join.

  • The Halloween Design Library, pre-recorded and yours the moment you join, so you’re ahead on Halloween before the week even starts.
  • Four live fall design sessions with your coaches, on August 11, 12, 13 and 14 at 7pm CST, recorded and yours to rewatch.
  • Damon’s Saturday session on getting your work seen, the real how-to of posts, captions, and reels, plus a live Q&A for your own questions.
  • Replay access to every session, so nothing depends on being there in the moment.

Save your seat

The Creative Week runs Tuesday, August 11 to Saturday, August 15. Evening sessions at 7pm CST, Tuesday to Friday, and Saturday at 11am and 1pm CST. The replays are yours to keep, but the live design nights and Q&A only happen once, in real time.

Questions before you save your seat

What if I can’t be there for every live session?

That’s the beauty of how this is built. Every session is recorded, and replay access is included, so you can watch whenever it works for you. The live design nights are at 7pm CST, Tuesday to Friday, and Damon’s session and Q&A are Saturday at 11am and 1pm CST. Come to the ones you can, and catch the rest on replay. Nothing depends on being there in the moment.

Is this a craft-along? Do I need supplies?

No supplies required. The Creative Week is a watch-and-learn experience. You get a front-row seat to watch real fall and Halloween designs come together, and you learn the decisions behind them so you can create your own way afterward. If you’d like to make something inspired as you go, you’re welcome to use your own materials.

I’m brand new and barely sell anything yet. Is this still for me?

Yes. The Creative Week meets you wherever you are, whether you’ve sold one thing or a hundred, or nothing yet. Whether your spark feels a little buried right now or you’re overflowing with ideas, you’ll leave with fall designs ready, a head start on Halloween, and a plan you actually know how to run.

What exactly is Damon’s Saturday session?

It’s the part most workshops skip: how to actually do the marketing. Not another plan to file away. Damon walks you through what to post, how to write the caption, how to film the reel, and the kinds of content that get handmade work noticed and wanted. You leave with your next stretch of content mapped out and the know-how to make it yourself. No tech background needed.

Is this included in Design School?

The Creative Week is its own live experience, separate from Design School. Design School members are warmly welcome to join. And when you go to save your seat, you’ll see an option to add Design School if you’d like to keep learning after the week. It’s completely optional.

What is your refund policy?

Because this is a live virtual event with instant access the moment you join, all sales are final. Please make sure it feels like the right fit for you before you join.

Come remember why you started

You started making because you loved it. Somewhere in the deadlines and the endless ideas, that can get quiet. It doesn’t mean it’s gone. This is the week you sit down, create alongside people who get it, and walk back out with your designs ready and a real plan to get them in front of the right people. Your biggest season is coming. Let’s get you ready.
