Study Hall: 60 Essential Resources to Successfully Build, Maintain, and Grow Your Design Business

When I started The Richie Madison School, the goal was always to be a resource for designers and creators alike, and teach the business of design.

After working with so many designers and creators that are new or experts in their industry, the main thing that was requested of me were resources. My clients wanted to know not only the process, but they want to know the resource and an easier and quicker way to execute.

In today's world, we have technology. Through technology, we're able to take a 30 minute task and translate it into a 5 minute or to simply make things easier for you, as the leader in your business, and to simplify the process for your client. This will not only save you time, but focus more on the creative side, and make more money in your business.

Starting a business is already complex within itself, but when you have powerful resources you have options and solutions for when it comes to starting your business, maintaining, and the ability to propel business growth.

To meet your needs, we created this intuitive resource guide to help you in your business. With so many options out there, I did the work, and narrowed it down for you. The resources in this guide are curated and most we've used and currently use. You will find more than one option in all sections in your resource guide to give you an alternative. We did the work so you wouldn't have to.

My goal is to make this resource guide attainable, easy to use, and a valuable resource you can refer back to time and time again.
