Stop waiting
for the industry.
Start freelancing.

The industry isn't coming back the way it was. But you don't need it to. Your clients aren't just in animation. They're in every industry. In 90 days, you'll have your own clients, your own pricing system, and income that pays the bills, supports your family, and doesn't depend on who's hiring.

Sound familiar?

The anxiety is real.

You're staring at your phone, waiting for a studio to call. Refreshing your inbox. Hoping work lands in your lap.

Paying the rent, covering the bills, supporting your family, all riding on an industry that's contracting fast.

There are more animators than ever and fewer positions. The old studio path isn't the safety net it used to be.

You know you need to take control. But starting to freelance feels overwhelming. Where do you even begin?

What changes

Where you'll be
in 90 days.

Clients that come from you, not luck
You'll know exactly where to find clients, how to reach them, and how to turn a conversation into a paid project. No more refreshing your inbox.
Pricing that matches your value
You'll stop undercharging and start quoting with confidence. Project-based pricing that makes clients respect you and pays you what you're worth.
A business that protects you
Contracts, scope boundaries, kill fees, revision limits. You'll never get burned by a client again because your systems handle it before it happens.
Answers when you're stuck
Weekly live office hours. Bring your real situation and get direct help. No more guessing alone at 2am whether you should take that deal.
Animators who get it
A community of people doing exactly what you're doing. Share wins, get feedback, stay accountable. Freelancing stops being lonely.
Income your family can count on
Not a side hustle. Not a hack. A real business that pays the bills month after month, whether or not the industry recovers.

Animator · Director · Mentor

I've been freelancing as an animator and director for 25 years. I've felt the anxiety of an empty pipeline, the weight of paying bills between projects, and the stress of supporting a family on an unpredictable income. I've also built the systems that make it work. Consistently, for decades. That's what I teach here.
