Nick,
baked.design
Over the last 14 years, I have grown as a designer, working on $5/hr jobs to landing a job at Meta ($300k) before quitting everything to start a cleaning business.
During this journey, I never had someone who I could talk to and understand where I stood in my career & life. Most of it happened due to pure hard work & grit (maybe some luck!). But things were different when I ventured into the business side of things.
The journey was brutal with a constant urge to quit and go back to 9-to-5. Who wants an uncertain lifestyle where you don't know what the next day would turn out to be? I never had a support system that I could lean onto, ended up failing many times before firmly standing on my feet.
So after 2 years on X & building a $1.2M ARR agency on pure organic reach (in 8 months of joining X), I'm starting "Design Unlimited" – a way to help others in the same journey or who plan to venture into the business side of things or just want to be a business-driven designer, developer, marketer or a startup founder.
One-on-one time with me to accelerate your growth, build a profitable agency, climb up the career ladder, get design advice or just chat about your startup. This is a lifetime subscription, with monthly/bi-weekly calls or no limits on text messages.

Rapid growth of Baked from July - starting with a client ghosting our first call to charging $4k, closing 2023 with $102k MRR - $441k revenue in 6 months, with 80% profit margins!
8 income sources to one! Right after leaving Meta, I started a cleaning business, then a Virtual Assistant business, followed by 6 more ventures over the course of 6 months (all in 2023). I just threw the darts and one stuck - Baked Design - which is now (2025) generating $106.8k MRR & has brought in over $1.7M in 1 year 6 months, with most clients staying for at least 6 months.
Go viral! Create consistent viral posts to bring potential "paying" clients to your profile. Here's an example: I redesigned an old dental software (real client at Baked Design). People went bonkers! I capitalized on the virality by posting more redesigns of the same project and gained over 780k impressions, generating $47k revenue from 27+ leads in just 4 days.
Results! Real people making real money following my "proven strategies":
Roasting designs for free (no permission required)
Charging low & climbing up the ladder (I started at $25 and went on to charge $1,200 per roast)
Using X as a portfolio & lead generation
Consistent growth, personally and financially
AGENCY
t took me 5 months to go from $0 to $126k MRR through my design subscription business. In just 1 year 6 months since starting Baked, we've generated over $1.7M revenue with 80% profit margins. During this journey, I've experienced crazy ups and burnout from overworking myself (16-18hrs a day). If you already have an agency or plan to start one, I'll share my experiences, strategies, marketing, growth tactics, how to close deals, retain customers, and more to help speed up your agency growth and revenue.
FEEDBACK
Feedback on your work or feedback on your product (website/app/web app) - anything that could help you or your business succeed. See this as an opportunity to get real feedback from someone who has worked with 0->1 startups to Fortune 30 companies, who understands the nitty-gritty of building a design-focused career & closely works with founders to raise millions of dollars through design.
CAREER
Finding that first client/job is the hardest part of any successful journey. As you gain experience and grow, you also need to sell your skills. With over 14 years of experience in design, I started my journey as a logo designer and slowly climbed up the ladder, negotiating every single step of the way to reach a $300k/yr salary at Meta. But it was a long journey - this is where I come in to help you understand where you stand in your career and guide you through your growth.
BUILDING A PERSONAL BRAND
I hated being on X, I almost gave up 2 weeks into creating an account. I had a hard time positioning myself among the millions of others on X. It took 3 weeks for someone to comment on my posts - I wasted hours posting into the void only to see 1 like. During this process, I tested the waters with "roasting" as a way to engage with others in the "BuildInPublic" communities, and it completely changed my trajectory from a few hundred followers to 12,000 followers in 4 months.
DITCHING 9TO5
Transitioning from 9-to-5 to freelancing/finding your own clients is not easy - 90% of people never succeed and end up going back to work. Over the years, I have spent 70% of my time freelancing before starting my agency in 2023. I will help you understand your current situation, when to take the step towards freedom, and how to navigate and find clients while building your presence on X.
QUICK HANGOUTS
Want to chat for 15 mins? Need help navigating a situation at your agency? Figuring out how to price your services? Trying to onboard new clients but drowning in work? Having a hard time hiring a designer? I can help with anything that can be addressed in a quick call. I'm available between 8AM-5PM PST - just DM me or send me an email!
