COURSE CONTENT

Inside of Unstoppable Designer, you'll learn: 

STEP 1. How to GET the Job

Map out a path to your dream design job + learn how to get your foot in the door 

First, we’ll go over the psychology behind hiring interns and junior designers - what firms REALLY look at so that you can outperform the competition + nail any interview, yes, even those top firms

We’ll review top firms - I’ll tell you my favorites: Architecture/Interiors firms v. Interior Design-only firms so you gain a deeper understanding of how they operate + which will be the best fit for you

You’ll pick up the best ways to NETWORK + interview so that you can secure your own internship... I’ll show you how I even got my best friend hired from ONE conversation!

We review key points and strategy - I will give you the exact script to use so that you can negotiate with confidence! Includes a mock interview where we kickstart how you can practice perfecting this skill. 

STEP 2. How to BE GREAT at the job

Shine so bright that senior designers fight over who ‘gets’ you on their team

Next, I’ll teach you what you need to stand out so that you’re not wasting time and years being confused, struggling to understand how to be recognized and get ahead. Sadly, this is very common.

‘Notes for Success’ checklist: You receive the list I personally crafted for a junior designer so that your teammates can’t stop raving about you 

Industry who’s who? I’ll show you my favorites so that you’ll be initiated to my secret list of favorite suppliers and vendors 

Top shortcuts for Photoshop, Sketchup, and CAD so that you get work finished FAST… this alone will save you hours! 

Learn subtle ‘hallmarks’ of an excellent architectural-style sketch and other tricks so that you know the easiest way to improve your freehand sketching

STEP 3: How to become THE BEST at your job

Be known as a top talent – finally be able to PICK + CHOOSE who you work with!

Finally, I’ll teach you how to excel so that you rise to the top + have the freedom to create your own opportunities - avoid being stuck in a low-paying position you hate for years.

I’ve seen many designers end up like this… I hate it.

What’s a triple-threat designer? I’ll show you and teach you how to be one so that you can master every skill 

 What’s a project roadmap and why it is SO IMPORTANT? Even if you’re not running the project, understanding this ONE thing will make working a huge project a breeze

You’ll learn ALL my tried-and-true presentation methods that directors and clients love so that you can be ready to confidently share all of your creative ideas  

IMPACT

After guiding students through this course over the past two years, I realized this truly is me revealing my hard-earned secrets to success.

The sooner you learn this, the greater the impact it can have on your career.

I got you.

STUDENT FEEDBACK

All my students:

"Sarah! I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW TO ASK ABOUT THESE THINGS!!"

Parsons student:

"Signing up for Sarah's mentoring program was a really great decision. 

The lessons are detailed with useful information on how to succeed as a designer who's just getting their career started. 

I've learned a lot and it's made me feel so much more prepared to navigate the design world as an intern or junior designer. 

It's been wonderful to have a mentor with this level of experience in the industry who keeps it real but is also incredibly positive and supportive."

my SVA student when she started her new internship and had to learn about all of the firm’s current projects:

“I think your classes have really helped in reducing the learning curve,

especially when they [gave me] the rundown for certain projects and how far along they are in the design phases.” 

Parsons student:

"I went to an interview yesterday and got a job offer!" 

This course will be your solid foundation to

FEEL COMPLETELY CONFIDENT in your knowledge and abilities,

knowing you can navigate the design world - impress yourself and ANY firm, team, or client.
