This is for you if…

You’ve been thinking about starting something creative for a while now, but…

  • You know you’re creative, but have no idea what that becomes as a business

  • You’re working in a 9-5 and wondering if there’s another path for you

  • You keep thinking "I'd love to do something with my creativity" but never take the next step

  • You’ve convinced yourself you need more experience, more time, or a better idea first

  • You see other people building creative businesses and think "how did they even start?"

  • You’re tired of overthinking and want a clear path forward

If you're sitting there thinking: "Okay wow... this is literally me." You're in the right place.

Your creative life could look like this…

Maybe your version of a creative business looks completely different to someone else’s. That’s the point.

This isn’t about fitting yourself into one box or becoming a certain type of artist. It’s about figuring out how your creativity could become something real. Your future creative business could look like:

  • Running creative workshops

  • Painting illustrations for people’s weddings, homes or special moments

  • Designing products or gift cards for stores

  • Working with brands on campaigns and creative projects

  • Creating murals for cafés, hotels or events

  • Live illustration at weddings and events

  • Selling prints, products or digital downloads

  • Freelance design or creative direction

  • Building a studio around your own unique style

Or something that doesn’t even exist yet! The goal of this course isn’t to tell you exactly what to become. It’s to help you explore your creativity, discover what feels aligned for you, and learn how to turn that into something commercially viable.

Because there isn’t just one way to build a creative career anymore.

A quick note

from Ofelia

Hey I’m Ofelia. Up until I was 30, I was working in marketing for tech companies. On paper, everything looked fine. I was progressing in my career, getting promoted, making friends at work... but I felt so disconnected from what I was doing.

I always loved painting and creating, but I had convinced myself of the same thing so many creatives believe: "It's impossible to make a living from art." I’d told myself I’d be an artist when I retired!

So I kept putting it off. Then one day I thought: "What if I just gave it a try?"

I moved to part-time work and started exploring whether my creativity could become something more. I didn't have a business plan, I didn't know exactly what I wanted to do, I definitely didn't think I'd end up here. I just started.

Now I run my own creative studio, work with dream clients, have built a multiple six-figure business and spend my days doing work I genuinely love. And honestly, I built this course because I wish someone had given me this roadmap when I was starting.

Because the hardest part isn't usually talent. It's knowing where to begin.

Right now, you probably don’t know where to start… after this course, this is what you’ll walk away with:

  • Tools for you to figure out what kind of creative business actually works for you

  • A roadmap to turn your creativity into something commercially viable

  • Confidence around pricing, selling and putting yourself out there

  • Your first offer and understanding of how people will pay for it

  • Exact steps for you to find your first clients

  • The belief that building a life around your creativity is actually possible

What you’ll walk away with
