Ariel Garcia – Drop Dead Designer
âThe coaching + mentorship inside Drop Dead Designer have been LIFE-CHANGING.â
After joining Drop Dead Designer, I booked my first 5-figure client. As a self-taught designer still practicing my skills, DDD gave me so many opportunities to create work & discover who I am as a designer.

It’s not you.
Being a freelancer is naturally hard.
As a former freelancer, Iâve been right where you are:
Competing to find consistent design clients
Earning literal pennies for your hard work
Feeling bored and uninspired by your projects
Hearing âbut THIS designer can do it cheaperâ
Battling clients for creative control
Fearing that nothing will ever change
Success is about working smarter and stepping into your unique creative power.
WARNING: THIS IS NOT ANOTHER COURSE.

A SELF-TAUGHT DESIGNER WITH A MULTI 6-FIGURE AGENCY + A MISSION TO HELP GRAPHIC DESIGNERS BUILD THE BUSINESS + LIFE OF THEIR DREAMS.
Not that long ago, I was an admin assistant at an accounting firm. Creative industry, right? Feeling completely unfulfilled, I taught myself graphic design and spent YEARS struggling to book clients.
Finally, everything changed when I stopped trying to mimic other âsuccessfulâ designers. I honed in on my creative artistry, built a solid business, and figured out smarter marketing.
Before I knew it, my dream clients were seeking me out. My product sales went through the roof. I grew a team Iâm obsessed with, traveled the world, bought a house, and fell in love with my life.
Now, Iâm passionate about helping YOU do the same. I created Drop Dead Designer so you can skip the hard sh&t and create the life you want. Not in a few years but right now.
Other designers have âmade it.â Why not you? Why not now?
Thereâs a voice in your head that knows youâre meant for something more. To be your own boss. To wake up with energy. To create freedom + a life youâre obsessed with.
Drop Dead Designer helps you do this as quickly and easily as possible. No second-guessing. No years of struggle. Just a clear path you can make your own.
Build a design business that Is  your dream life.
