The Event

You know how to make a room sing. What nobody handed you was the blueprint for the firm behind the room.

On August 6, four designers who built firms that hold sit down to give you that blueprint. In order. For free.

Clarity. Boundaries. Systems. Visibility. Four conversations that walk the way a firm is actually supposed to be built. Come build with us.

Clarity

A point of view so clear it attracts the right client and filters out the wrong fit.

Boundaries

Scope defined on the front end so the work stays inside its edges, and profitable.

Systems

The tools and relationships that carry the work so the firm stops running through you.

Visibility

The different paths to the forefront, and how to find the one that fits your firm.

YOUR HOST AND MODERATOR

One person holds the thread.

Jameelah Watkins-Mallett created the CASE Method, and she built this morning around it.

She is the founder of The Case Collective and co-founder of Lauren Wesley Designs, a firm she is still running today. Not a coach who stepped out of the work. A principal still in it.

Every conversation on August 6 runs through her. She opens the room, moderates the line between each session, and closes with the invitation that pulls all four phases back into one blueprint.
