Hey there!
I’m Mai Knoblovits.

Graphic design and brand strategy are my passion.

I run a design studio from Buenos Aires, and I’m the co-founder and chief designer of Artisan Themes — a company that creates high-end WordPress themes used by thousands of people.

And I think I kind of know how you feel right now.

When I started my design career 14 years ago I was just a few years out of high school. Design felt like the one thing I could do all day long without getting tired. I couldn’t get enough of it.

Of course, I had really no idea what I was doing, and I knew that.

I couldn’t afford to spend tens of thousands in traditional design school but more than that, I HAD to start designing right away.

So I did the best thing I could do at the moment and started from total scratch, reading EVERYTHING I found.

Yeah, really not the most time effective idea, but there was no other alternative to traditional design school for someone who wanted to be a serious designer, so that’s what I had.

Books, blogs, tutorials. Anything I could get my hands on got studied and dissected, so I could learn from the great designers how exactly everything was made, and practice it on my own.

Having no guidance whatsoever, it took me years of trial and error until I got it right.

But this process taught me two important things…

The first one, is that you don’t always need MORE knowledge. You need the RIGHT knowledge.

The second one? Having someone show you exactly what to work on at every step of the way is the ultimate most unfair advantage you can have when forging your design career.

Because the biggest problem with this infamous unguided self-discovery route is not the time it’ll take you to get to the right destination.

Mastery takes time. That’s alright, that’s part of the game.

The biggest problem with it is that it is way too easy to feel stuck and get discouraged. Which is why many potentially fantastic designers stop and desist even before they start.

Luckily, you don’t have to start from scratch.

This is the course I wished existed when I started my design business: a program that cuts through the noise and focuses on what truly matters to help you become an expert designer that empowers amazing brands through design.

Fearless Design exists so you can transform your passion for design into a rewarding career, with expert guidance and a community that supports your growth.

How Fearless Design Works

Fearless Design is divided into 7 comprehensive modules with video lessons so you can learn at your own pace, whenever you want.

I’ll guide you through the right ways to use colors, typography and images to create flawless design, and more importantly, I’ll give you my framework to design a brand identity that not only will wow clients, it’ll keep them coming for more.

Learn By Doing

Do you know why most people find it frustrating and painfully slow to learn on their own?

It’s because they usually jump from shiny thing to shiny thing, running through endless FOMO binging nights of unconnected tutorials which in fact leave you more confused than before.

And since you try to memorize everything instead of doing, you’re left with the feeling that you still can’t do it on your own.

Even though you supposedly just learned it.

It makes sense, after all.

That’s not how our brains work. We can’t learn just by memorizing.

So in this program we’re gonna double the bets instead.

We will not only cut through all the noise for you so you can focus only on the important stuff…

Throughout the lessons of Fearless Design you’ll find exercises and projects to put everything you learn into practice, as soon as you learn it.

Design isn’t something you can master by just reading or watching. It’s a craft that blossoms through doing. It’s like learning to ride a bike – you can watch a thousand videos, but you’ll never truly learn until you hop on and start pedaling.

That’s why this program is littered with tantalizing tidbits of practical exercises and real-world projects. It’s like a generous dollop of hands-on practice after each chunk of juicy knowledge.

Designs That Scream Hire Me!

But, oh, it gets better. Not only do these projects give you the practice you need, they also help you build a killer portfolio. A portfolio that tells your potential clients, “Hey, I’m the real deal. Check out my awesomeness!” If you’re just starting out in the design world, this is gold. You’ll have a collection of your work, a showcase of your skills, a taste of your design aesthetic for your clients to feast on.

So, yes, Fearless Design doesn’t just teach you to design, it helps you become a designer. It pushes you into the arena, gets your hands dirty. It equips you with the portfolio you need to strut into the professional design world, chin up, shoulders back, and confidence oozing from every pore.

And to make it even more failproof, together with each assignment you’ll find a set of questions to review your own work, so you can make sure that you’re making the right progress at each step of the way.

It’ll be like having another designer right next to you asking just the right questions.

Hot Bonus #7

It’s a guide + printables that will show you exactly what to ask your clients before you start any identity design project – so you can gain clarity, build trust and authority, and design a solid and truly unique visual identity.

Hot Bonus #8

The Logo Sessions

Ever wondered what makes a logo go from “meh” to “wow”? In this 7-part advanced training we spill the beans on making logos that aren’t just logos—but legends.

In each session, we’ll explore the anatomy of iconic logos and dissect real-life examples, from the flops to the phenomenal. You’ll learn not just what to do, but what absolutely not to do, giving you the inside scoop on crafting visual branding magic that resonates and endures.

If logos are your thing (or you want them to be), then gear up for some ah-ha moments as you learn the ropes from the big wins and epic fails of logo design.

Here’s a little of what you’ll find inside:

    • The techniques behind each logo type with vivid examples from today’s top companies.

    • How to avoid the most common and costly logo design mistakes.

    • Why the fancy-schmancy logo concepts are often hopelessly inadequate for real-world applications.

    • The sadly too common pitfalls of overcomplicated logos and how to simplify them.

    • How to quickly “cancel out” poor design choices with one seemingly simple hack.

    • An endless list of very practical ideas that you can try on your own logos to turn them from basic to brilliant.

    • How the different logo types fit into the branding puzzle, with real-life case studies that will keep you going “ohh, I see!”.

    • Why it’s actually harder (but way more profitable) to design “simple” logos.

    • The way-too-often forgotten secrets about iconic logos that can steer your design to tremendous success.

    …and -believe me- so much more than what we could fit here.

    This is a complete hands-on immersion in the world of logo design. If there was a Part II to this program, The Logo Sessions would probably be it and you’ll be having it available for you to devour since day 1 when you join.

    Serious note: More than a bonus, this is a full course in and of itself. And since this is currently not sold separately this is the only way of getting your hands on it. A solid logo is easily worth in the thousands, so if you plan on doing any brand work whatsoever, you’ll want to have this one.

    “The first module alone did more for me than years of trying to figure things out by myself”

    I used to spend hours looking at my work feeling that something was “off” but was never able to put my finger on it, so I’d go and spend a couple more hours messing with everything to try and fix it. It’s like I had the intuition to say that something was wrong but I didn’t know what. Now I can spot what isn’t working on a design and fix it right away.

    The bonus materials became my go-to source for EVERYTHING. Going through the course for the second time now, so THANKS!

    “I’m able to create better designs and offer design services more confidently”

    I had taken design courses before but this was by far the best in terms of teaching the actual principles of design. And since I don’t have any formal education in design, that was pretty invaluable. My clients’ websites also look a lot better now because of the principles I learned (and I still refer back to the PDFs from the course). I also revamped my brand guides as a result of the course because I learned more about what to include in a brand identity.

    Before joining the program I remember feeling like nothing I created looked professional and I had no idea why. I think it was the placement of the content? It just wasn’t as easy to read, looked messy, or just didn’t look right somehow.

    Now I feel like I know how to place content in websites, graphics, etc, so that it looks better and is easier to read. And I’m able to create better designs and offer design services more confidently.

    “It’s taken away the second guessing so I can concentrate on producing excellent work for my clients”

    The course is inspiring (and clearly laid out)!

    The whole brand module and colour combo book were life savers! I feel more confident today about doing brand identity work. Other people try to make out this area as a huge mystery but the course helped make sense of it all.

    The course has given me confidence in typography too. The font combinations book is invaluable and I use this in nearly every project. It’s taken away the second guessing so I can concentrate on producing excellent work for my clients.

    —Jennie Powell
    Graphic Designer

    “I just got my first client!”

    The more I got into working on the projects I noticed my designs became better by the day, to the point that I finally feel confident to show them to other people 🙈 (so much that I just got my first client!). This has opened sooo many doors for me, thanks!

    —Ro Draletti
    UX/UI Designer

    “Now I have confirmation that I have the essential building blocks to be able to create beautiful and powerful branding for my clients”

    First of all, I want to say what a wonderful job you guys did of covering valuable content and doing so in a way that was easy to understand and very clear. I can’t imagine what kind of time it would have taken to do all of that and create the resources provided!

    I really enjoyed going through the course! I have previously taken a course on branding and web design as those are the services I am focusing on offering, and I didn’t feel confident in my skills with branding as much after taking that other course. But now I have confirmation that I have the essential building blocks to be able to create beautiful and powerful branding for my clients.

    Thanks for what you do!

    —Joanna Arcieri
    Brand and Web Designer

    “This was definitely worth my investment!”

    Hey Mai! Your course has been INCREDIBLY helpful to me as it helped affirm me of my skills and knowledge going forward!

    I just wanted to take the time to THANK YOU for all your hard work, guidance and vibrant spirit! I very much appreciate you and your dedication (I already see you as a mentor!). If someone’s considering joining, this was definitely worth my investment!

    —Gema Itzel
    Graphic Designer, College Graduate

    “I’ve raised my prices and have more clients! 🙌”

    Hey guys! So I have been quite busy since taking this course. I have been getting more clients and I’ve raised my prices. I’ll actually need to raise my prices again because I am getting so many opportunities.

    The biggest one was that Canva (THEE Canva) asked me to create templates for them!! I’ve moved into the web design space which is super exciting. I’m so happy that I can get paid to design and do what I love! ❤️

    This course was such a game changer.

    The Million Dollar Question

    If you’ve made it up to here then you probably already know this program is for you… But if you’re thinking “why now?”, let me share with you 3 beliefs straight out of Fearless Design’s core.

    #1

    There has never been a better time for designers to become experts

    In an unprecedented time where everything has changed, what if you could have a job that makes you excited and lets you work from anywhere in the world, for clients that are looking for your help right now?

    With more and more people making the switch from the traditional 9 to 5 to entrepreneurship, demand for expert designers is higher than ever.

    And that demand is only going up.

    Which means that a couple years from now you will without a doubt be in one of two camps.

    Either creating magnetic, authoritative brand designs as an expert designer.

    Or chasing clients that are dying to explain to you why their logo needs more glitter.

    (And if you were wondering… no. Their logo probably doesn’t need any glitter at all, but you knew that already.)

    #2

    Expert Design is not a skill reserved for a selected elite

    If you were wondering whether you can become an expert designer but feared that you might have not what it takes, let me put this extra straight right here:

    Design is not a magic formula passed secretly from generation to generation.

    Good design is a combination of solid strategy and the proper use of key elements, and I’ll show you how to build up those skills in a fail-proof way…

    Which is also a good plan because…

    #3

    There’s no real limit to what you can earn as an expert designer

    This is not a business course, and I’m not going to make any income promises, but I still feel this needs to be mentioned.

    Good design -generally- has multiple zeros attached to its invoices. Any business that respects itself knows this.

    I’m a firm believer that your rates should reflect the value that your work will add to your clients, no less.

    Well, Fearless Design is here to make sure your work is top notch, so you can soon start offering expert design, provide loads of value to your future clients, and charge accordingly!

    Also, this course is purposely priced to be a fraction of most design projects you’ll be able to take on, to make it an absolute no-brainer whether you should invest in your design career.

      Your secret competitive advantage where you’ll get to hang out and get direct feedback from other designers

    “I booked another client using one of the course projects as an example in my portfolio!”

    Fearless Design helped me gain confidence in putting myself out there as a designer. After completing the course, I worked with my first paid client for brand identity design. I also booked another client using one of the course projects as an example in my portfolio!

    When you are starting out as a designer figuring out a workflow can be overwhelming, especially if you don’t have formal design school training. The course gave me clarity throughout the design process. While I had experience with brand identity design prior to the program, Fearless Design offered me a step-by-step guide I could follow with every project, making designing less intimidating. It also helped me fill key knowledge gaps and gave me reassurance while applying the lessons to my own work.

    In particular, I appreciated the Slack channel where I received quick and thoughtful feedback to my design questions on actual client work. For someone who didn’t go to design school, getting expert critiques from seasoned pros gave me a perspective I was missing by working on my own.

    Your Questions Answered About Fearless Design

    Whoa there, hold your horses! I can almost hear those gears grinding in your head. You’ve got questions, maybe even a few doubts, and that’s as normal as a coffee stain on a designer’s desk. Let’s hit those questions out of the park together.

    • I’ve never formally studied design. Is Fearless Design really for me?

      Bingo! You’re exactly who I had in mind while brewing this course. Remember, design isn’t some cryptic art only understood by those with fancy, crazily expensive degrees. It’s a skill, and like any skill, it can be learned and mastered. This course is designed to hold your hand, guide you through the process, and turn you into a pro designer. So, squash that bug of doubt under your designer shoe and stride forward confidently!

    • Ok, but this will be the very first time ever I do anything design related at all. Are you sure this is for me?

      Oh yes. This is definitely for you. If I’d had the chance to enroll in a program like this before I started doing design it would’ve saved me YEARS of aimless wandering that ended up costing me a lot of time and lot of money in missed opportunities. Believe me. This is for you.

    • But $2299 seems a bit steep for a course, don't you think?

      Think of it this way: you’re not just buying a course, you’re investing in your future. I can’t make any income claims or promises, but you’ll be putting a down payment on a skill that could potentially earn you thousands, likely even tens of thousands of dollars over the course of your career. And let’s not forget the satisfaction, joy, and confidence that comes with mastering your craft. Priceless, am I right?

    • I think I can become decent at design on my own, won’t this be a waste of my time?

      Oh, honey! Decent is great, but aren’t you here because you’re aiming for extraordinary? Fearless Design is more than just design basics. In this program we uncover the secret anatomy of successful designs and train you to be versatile and adaptable. You’ll learn to craft designs that not just look good, but work brilliantly for any project, any client, in any situation. Now, that’s a superpower worth investing in, I’d say!

    • I’m not sure I have the time to dedicate to a course right now. What do I do?

      Here’s the deal: there’s never going to be a “perfect” time. You’re a busy bee, I get it. But remember, the course is entirely online. You can learn at your own pace, at your own time, in your favorite PJs. Plus, you’ll have lifetime access to the course materials. Want to pull an all-nighter and binge on the entire course? Go for it! Want to take it slow and steady? You do you. The key is, start. The sooner you start, the sooner you do the work and master the skills, the sooner you become the professional designer you want to be proud of.

    • Is there support along the ride?

      We hang out in our community A LOT. So while there is no one-on-one email support for the specific assignments and such, you’ll be able to reach out in the community channels in Circle. We even encourage you to post your work in the community so your peers can help you move forward too. The support of the community is a huge part of why we built the course this way.

    • Do I need any specific design software to take this course?

      No, you do not need any specific software to take this course. You can work with popular tools like Adobe Creative Cloud or Canva, depending on your preference. We believe that design transcends any particular tool, and our focus is on helping you develop a strong foundation in design principles. If you feel the need for training in any specific design program, there are numerous short courses available online, as well as a wealth of tutorials on YouTube, to help you learn at your own pace.

    • Will this course teach me Illustrator or any specific design program?

      While this course isn’t dedicated to teaching any specific design program, we do demonstrate the process of designing various pieces using Illustrator in our lessons. Additionally, some of the exercises you’ll complete will be in Canva, which is a free and accessible tool. Our primary goal is to equip you with the skills and knowledge to create compelling designs, regardless of the software you choose to use. If you wish to gain deeper proficiency in a particular program, there are plenty of resources available online for self-study.

    • What if I’m not a creative person?

      Oh, how I LOVE this question! You don’t have to be “creative” to do GREAT design. Great design comes from a different kind of sauce, which you’ll hear about in the course. And yes, you’ll also learn how to produce your best stuff even when you feel completely “uninspired”.

    • Do I have lifetime access to the course videos?

      Absolutely. You’ll have lifetime access to the videos and course’s materials, so no pressure, it’ll all be there for you when you need it. You can re-watch any particular lesson any time you want, and there are written transcripts for each video lesson, so you’ll be able to quickly look up concepts you learned before on the videos if you need to.

    • How much will it take me to complete the course?

      That’s up to you! You’ll have access to all of the lessons’ videos and materials from the beginning. How fast or how slow you want to go depends on you, but I recommend making a routine out of it, like a lesson per day or a module every week or so, so you keep momentum going.

    • Is there a Completion Certificate for Fearless Design?

      Yes. Fearless Design issues -upon successfully completing the program- a certificate of completion, which signifies that you have gained the skills and knowledge to confidently tackle design projects and advance in your design career. To request your certificate of completion you must complete all modules of the Fearless Design program, including any required assignments and projects, to ensure you meet the program’s requirements and demonstrate your understanding of the course material (you’ll find detailed instructions inside the course’s dashboard).
      You will receive your digital certificate via email, but you can print it too if you prefer a physical copy. The certificate is designed to be easily printable in high quality.

    • Is design going to change the world?

      I believe it is, yes.

    I want you to be able to take on any client you want, no matter how challenging the project seems, and be able to charge for it what we all know good design is worth, because you’ll have the skills to actually deliver.

    If you’re ready to start a rocking design career this is your power-packed opportunity to do so, and you have nothing to lose.
