What's in the bundle.
The Professional Designer
The course itself. Eight modules on the work around the work: briefs, decisions, presenting, feedback, directing and ownership.
Field guide (PDF)
How to run each method on a live project, week by week, with what to say in the meeting.
Bonus: Figma studio kit
The files an art director actually uses: a presentation deck, a kickoff board and a feedback tracker.
Freebie: The Senior Designer Checklist
The print edition, to pin above the desk.
Inside, in order.
The trust gap
Why good work isn't enough, and what people at the next level are actually judged on.
Reading the brief
Finding the real problem behind the request, before you open Figma.
Making the call
Choosing a direction and defending it with reasons, not taste.
Presenting to a room
Structuring a presentation so the client decides instead of drifting.
Feedback, both ways
Taking client feedback without losing the work. Giving feedback that builds the designer.
Directing others
Briefing juniors, reviewing their work, and stepping back from the pixels.
Owning the outcome
Scope, timelines and the conversations that make you the person accountable.
The next twelve months
A plan for being seen as the lead before you have the title.
Look inside.
What you'll be able to do on Monday.

Questions, answered.
What format is it?
A PDF course with a separate field guide, plus Figma files. The PDFs open in any reader. The Figma files open in a free Figma account: duplicate them into your drafts and edit freely.
How does delivery work?
Pay through Dodo Payments and the download link appears straight away. The same link arrives by email. Nothing after 30 minutes? Check spam, then write to sud@inbetween.work with your order ID.
What can I do with the files?
Use them in your own personal projects and your own paid client work. Don't share the files or resources with anyone, clients included, and don't resell or re-upload them, changed or not. One licence covers one person.
Can I get a refund?
Files arrive instantly, so sales are generally final. Duplicate payments, broken downloads we can't fix within 5 working days, and files that don't match this page are refunded, in line with Dodo Payments' buyer terms. Write to sud@inbetween.work with your order ID.
Do I get a GST invoice?
Yes. Dodo Payments issues an invoice with every order. Prices exclude GST, which is added at checkout; enter your GSTIN there if you have one.
I'm already a lead. Is this too basic?
If you lead projects but haven't been taught how, no. Modules 06–08 are written for exactly that moment. If you already run a team and a P&L, wait for Level 04.
