Imagine if you could feel confident in:

02

03
Gaining the confidence you had when you first launched to start promoting your work
04
Putting boundaries in place and landing clients who respect them
05
Knowing and understanding how to tap into your creative flow on demand—even when you’re not inspired by the project
You’re a kickass designer and it’s time the world knows it too.
You had so much hope and inspiration when you launched your business. You felt over the moon when you shared your business with the world.
...but after that initial excitement of your launch faded, you realized just how much work it would take.
I bought Karima's course when I was at a point in my business where I had lots of experience and lots of client love, but didn't know how to turn that into more income and more projects that I actually wanted.
The course was the perfect mix of confidence booster and practical tools to get me to the next level. Within a few months of watching the course (I actually listened to most of it in some long car rides - you don't miss much by not watching the videos so it's great as just audio), I had easily doubled my monthly income (making back the cost of the course in about a month). I attracted more clients and projects that I was excited about. At Karima's suggestion (insistence? LOL), I took brand photos and felt good about posting my own face on Instagram, which is where most of my inquiries come from. Now, about a year later, I'm wanting to uplevel my business again, and the first thing I'm gonna do is watch the course again and actually do the worksheets this time! (Yes - I doubled my income the first time around without even doing the worksheets, just by listening and following.) The 1:1 sessions included in the VIP course are such a great resource - I build up my questions over a month or 2 and then do a call with Karima to get all her fantastic insight at once. Karima has built her business so intentionally that she really has answers for everything. Thank you so much for this program Karima!

“Almost at $10k in sales in 30 days is huge for me as a designer and I'm celebrating this milestone!”
“I feel like I was an intermediate level designer before taking her course. Now through mindset work and taking action I leveled up and I feel more at the advanced level. I owe a lot of my success to Karima! She has helped me set boundaries with clients, which helps me produce better quality work and even has led to me feeling confident enough to increase my prices!
After working with Karima, I finally felt confident enough to say “this is how I work and it’s ok if someone can’t afford me or isn’t my ideal client. I do not need to discount my services in order to book clients! I deserve to be paid my worth!”
Recently I had my largest month in sales!! In the last 30 days I’ve sold $9,200 in services and I just sent out a branding quote for $1,000, which I am confident I will close. Side note: I recently raised my web design rate twice and my brand design rate will be increasing soon as well! When that new brand client closes, I’ll be at a $10.2k month!!!
I’m at a whole new level of confidence in my business! Karima’s course has helped me LEVEL-UP in a way that I wasn’t sure was possible!!”
- Amanda Davis
“ I signed 2 new clients before we were even halfway through the course!”
“The Confident Creative was one of the best investments I’ve ever made in myself & my business. The knowledge that Karima shares is invaluable - she’s been exactly where you are and understands your struggles. Using her suggestions, I signed 2 new clients before we were even halfway through the course!
There isn’t any fluff in the content and her advice is the perfect combination of friendly feedback & tough love. Throughout the course Karima is incredibly reassuring and supportive, and gives you an honest and realistic perspective on things.
This isn’t one of those courses where you’re told what to do and then left to figure it out on your own - Karima teaches each lesson and then helps you to see how you can best implement it in your own business based on your strengths and goals. My internal systems & processes have improved so much based on what I’ve learned!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about Karima & The Confident Creative. Working with her has made me a more intentional business owner & confident designer.”
-Melissa Reese
“I have clients reaching out to me left and right. You’ll make your money back… almost immediately.”
I took the Confident Creative Course and it’s changed my business.
I have potential clients reaching out to me left and right - it’s so worth the investment because you’ll make the money back almost immediately.
If you’re looking for a course to tell you things you want to know and already have heard, this is not for you. Karima will lay it out with 100% honesty and will show you everything behind the scenes: from first client calls, to what to say on the phone, to what to charge, understanding your worth, you will get everything you could possibly need to succeed in your field as a creative entrepreneur.

Hi, I'm Karima!
Design fairy godmother, mentor, big fan of self-care, and believer that you CAN have it all.
I run a multiple 6-figure done-for-you design business, but I promise it didn’t start so easy for me, either. When I started, I was broke, paying rent on my credit cards until I lost my apartment and maxed out my credit cards.
I was forced to live out of my car and had no idea what to do or where to start, but I was committed to making this work.
So, I started the only way I knew how - designing resumes for $10/hour (don’t do this!). I felt like I was spinning my wheels, and it wasn’t until I took the leap and invested in mentorship that I was able to transform my life.
Now, I want to help other designers step into their power and show up as the person they know they are meant to be - the designer that isn’t worrying about where their next client is coming from because they’re totally booked out, with plenty of money (and that feeling of security) in their bank account.
I’m here to help you figure out the exact steps you need to take so you can build and scale a profitable design business.
Think of me as your hype girl, business partner, and the person who is going to make sure you come out on the other side of this with a business that feels aligned.
After taking the Confident Creative course with Karima we have seen so many changes in our business and the way we approach marketing ourselves, and landing our dream clients.
What makes this course so amazing is that it not only gives you the tools to attract more clients but, more importantly, clients that are a good fit for you and see the value in the services you provide.
We have implemented several of the things that we learned in the course and have been able to be confident in raising our prices and not being ashamed or afraid to turn down clients that simply are not a good fit.
We have done all of this on top of having a truly wonderful time interacting with Karima and the other students in the course.

“I am now able to create a smooth onboarding, creative process, and off-boarding experience for my clients that makes sense to me and my values as a business owner.”
So happy I took the leap and invested in my business. I am now able to create a smooth onboarding, creative process, and off-boarding experience for my clients that makes sense to me and my values as a business owner. '
Karima shares so much information about the ins and outs of running a business in a digestible way. I love the small action prompts and resources to get the wheels turning and set yourself up for success.
Being able to turn to a community and share our victories, doubts, and stories for support added to the overall experience of the course. I'm so happy I have this knowledge now!
-Gabby
“I learned more from this course than any other course I have taken.”
“There is so much value in this course. All of the modules walk you through exactly how to set up your business and start finding clients.
The mindset module was especially helpful for me. The worksheets were actually really helpful to complete and offered tangible steps for me to implement for my business.
I'm a visual learner and the templates Karima offered just added even more value to the course. Best course I've taken!”
