The freelance course and community for creatives
Thanks to everything I learned, I met my yearly goals and beyond.
Chris Porter
The course and Slack pushed me to go into my business full time! I made more in the first month on my own than I did all of last year doing freelance work!
Lila Jimenez
The slack channel alone is worth the price of the course.
Chris von Burske
I just landed my highest paying brand identity job (1/3 of my yearly financial goal) by using all the knowledge absorbed from this amazing course and group!
Jordyn Taylor-Robins
I would 14/10 recommend taking this class. Learning all these skills gave me the confidence to start charging my worth and take my clients through a streamlined process that is stress-free.
Katie Cooper
After working though this course I landed my highest paying gig yet.
Maeve G.
This class is hands down the best decision I’ve made for my design business. The value is above and beyond. I just landed my first five-figure job this past month! Sign up now, you won’t regret it.
Becky Caponetti
Your book and video course have legit been my best investment for my creative career!
Ginny Kim
The course is amazing...The Slack channel connected me with an amazing community. The only thing I regret, is not finding it sooner.
Lua Cieza
Being able to see behind the scenes of how a top agency works – proposals, client relations, organization, tools used – is so valuable to me. Before I even finished the course, I had used the Proposal template to land my first client!
Justin Wieners
I think Jen and Amy's course should be mandatory in every design school. This course is an absolute must. It will give you the confidence to present yourself in a way you never have before.
Gretchen Mayer
Everything in the course was great! Setting up automated (or as pain free as possible) logistics like taxes, accounting, account service documents and contracts have made it really easy to keep momentum when landing clients.

I'm sure I wouldn't have won half of my jobs if it wasn't for the resources that Amy and Jen provide in this course. It's above and beyond what I had expected. Plus, the FABAS community is priceless and a constant source of inspiration, support and entertainment.

Thank you so much. Your course and support made the venture of being a freelance designer feel less daunting and more achievable.

I can go to the community with wins, losses, and questions and know that I will get overwhelmingly positive support. You can tell everyone in the group wants to be there for the next person and really lift everyone up to be better at what we do.
Kameron Davis
I've been able to land different projects implementing the lessons and using the resources. Would round to around 18K dollars and counting (Here in Colombia that's really good money).
