Creative Small Business Essentials: Ways to Streamline Your Workflow

Channel your inner project manager with this 15-minute class with designer and illustrator Sophia Chang, aka @esymai. Sophia shares her process on how she tackles her client projects, map her ideas, and track intersecting timelines.

This class is built for anyone and everyone, from the student who is working on multiple final projects at once to the entrepreneur who is running their own small business. The course is structured to help creatives optimize their projects and business and channel their inner project manager.

Each student will learn how to efficiently rollout their creative vision and walk away with a crash course on how to:
