Why Grow With StüdiGroup?
StüdiGroup exists as a growth partner to emerging design businesses. We help creative (or aspiring) entrepreneurs and their teams build the skills and knowledge they need for the best chance of business success. We do this through in-person and hybrid experiences and coaching sessions.
StüdiGroup’s inaugural season brings together an outstanding group of designers, educators and business owners to address topics around establishing, managing and growing a creative business. You’ll hear talks from accomplished leaders in a range of creative fields. You will participate in workshop activities and dialogues. And you will have the opportunity to engage 1:1 with presenters and other participants. Ultimately you will come away inspired and equipped with powerful new tools to understand and leverage your creativity to build a mature business. And should you wish to continue the conversation or go deep on a particular topic, you can continue the experience with coaching sessions once the weekend is complete.
