      <image:title>The Design Library - “I’m loving design again! With my processes not in place I was getting burn out and designing became a burden, rather than enjoyable. The help of Kate has reignited my passion of design! My favorite part about the templates is that I don’t have to think about what to do next and reinvent the wheel.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Design Library - “I cannot believe resources like this exist. These templates are saving me weeks and weeks of busy work. They are complete with the copy. I hate doing any kind of copy writing. I purchased a few other templates but none of them were as thorough as yours.  I am going to be able to start to market and hopefully book clients much sooner than if I were to create all of these documents on my own. Just reviewing everything included in the template packages is a great learning experience and has helped me fill in the gaps as a designer who is just getting started. I want to buy every package! Can't recommend enough so worth the investment.”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Design Library - “Oh my gosh, Thank you so very much! I can’t thank you all enough for your templates they’re so perfect [and] have been a God send for this Midwesterner! Your contracts, guides and templates are worded beautifully and I basically change my name and GO! They have been a life changer!  My business is running so much smoother (I just went through inquiry, proposal, welcome in the matter of days). I genuinely feel like I have my act together and I LOOK like I do to my clients now! Thank you!”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Design Library - “I love that I have everything (detailed to the max) all in one place, start to finish. I love that I now know what to do as soon as an inquiry comes in. I tell my potential clients exactly how my process works (fees included) up front and now I never have to stress about having the money talk later! I feel so much less stressed now that I know exactly how to run my process and so so confident now!   I truly feel like this was written just for me and the way I like to run things!”</image:title>

      <image:title>The Design Library - "Discovering the templates (and other resources you offer) that both dovetail and expand upon my initial ideas has been very helpful. You've increased my confidence and have reinforced my belief that there has to be a better way.  I really appreciate the emails and the information included in them - both those that support the resources I've purchased, as well as ones that deal with additional areas of interest (gift giving, etc.) You are so generous with your advice, and I've found it so valuable. Thank you."</image:title>

      <image:title>The Design Library - “The Design Day Workshop was very helpful. I wouldn't feel confident rolling this out without the additional support of the done-for-you templates you offer in tandem with this workshop. I love that not only do you provide strategy and direction, but also, done for you deliverables, so implementation is essentially automatic. I think this is the hurdle for many busy working entrepreneurs. [Launching a design-only service] is a great idea in theory, but it takes time to sit down and develop these deliverables/best practices, which many of us don't have. By providing ready to go templates means I could implement tomorrow. I love this aspect of your offerings.”</image:title>

Before purchasing the templates, every client email or question sent us into a tailspin trying to craft a new response and figure out our values on the fly. Having Katie's framework has now allowed us refine our non-negotiables and communicate in a professional and beautiful manner. Just recently, one of our client's raved about how professional and organized we were - yay! The templates were worth every penny - thank you for this amazing support!”</image:title>
