FROM $3,000 IN COURSES TO CLARITY

How I went from overwhelmed entrepreneur to organized builder—and why I'm sharing everything I learned so you don't have to waste years like I did.

I KNOW EXACTLY WHERE
YOU ARE RIGHT NOW

At 23, I've spent over 6 years in design and brand strategy—but my real education didn't come from textbooks. It came from making every single mistake you're probably making right now.

I started following successful entrepreneurs on Instagram. Designers with 50k followers. Business coaches with perfect feeds. "Gurus" promising six-figure launches.

And I thought: "If I just copy what they're doing, I'll get the same results."

So I tried to be them. I mimicked their content. I used their hashtags. I studied their posting schedules. I convinced myself that if I just worked hard enough to look like them, success would come.

But it didn't work. Because I wasn't building MY journey. I was trying to live someone else's.

Then I made it worse. I thought the answer was in some course, some PDF, some guru's program. So I bought them. One after another. $3,000+ spent over six months.

Instead of clarity, I got: • 47 browser tabs I was "going to read later" • Conflicting advice that paralyzed me • A folder full of PDFs I never opened • More stress about what to focus on • Zero progress on my actual business

I was drowning in conflicting advice, constantly fed with too much information, and I had no idea what was actually right for ME.

Six months ago, I hit rock bottom. I was sitting at my desk with 12 unfinished courses open, a notebook full of "ideas" I'd never executed, and absolutely
no idea what to do next.

And then it clicked:

The problem wasn't that I didn't have enough information.
I had too much.

What I needed wasn't another course teaching me "the secret."

I needed:
• A clear system to organize what I already knew
• Step-by-step frameworks that eliminated decision fatigue
• Templates that told me exactly what to do next
• A plan with specific goals and tasks

So I stopped buying. And I started building.

I took everything I'd learned—all those courses, all that advice, all those half-finished PDFs—and I organized it into simple, actionable systems. And for the first time in months, I made real progress.

Here's what I learned: You can't build someone else's business. You can only build yours.

The entrepreneurs you admire didn't get there by being identical to someone else. They got there by learning by doing, making mistakes, and building their own systems. You don't need to be them.

You need to be the best version of YOU.

THEN I REALIZED: I DIDN'T NEED MORE INFORMATION. I NEEDED ORGANIZATION.

I BUILT THE SYSTEMS I WISH
I’D HAD FROM DAY ONE

Designwithleow exists because I refuse to let other entrepreneurs waste years (and thousands of dollars) like I did.

Every template, guide, and system I create is designed to answer one question: "What do I actually do next?"

Not in theory. Not in some 40-module course you'll never finish. But right now, today, with the time and resources you actually have.

I build:

• Organized templates that eliminate "blank page paralysis"
• Step-by-step frameworks that show you exactly what to do, in what order • Clear systems that turn information overload into actionable plans
• Plug-and-plan solutions that work for YOUR business, not someone else's

No fluff. No overwhelm. No trying to be someone you're not.

Just clear, honest, actionable tools that help you build a brand that gets seen and paid—without losing yourself in the process.
