Try This 30-Day Skill Sprint for Digital Product Creators

Let’s be honest - most of us didn’t start creating digital products with a design degree under our belts. We bootstrapped, Googled fonts that “look professional,” and tried to guess what colors would look good together. And while that scrappy spirit is something to be proud of, at some point, we all hit that wall:


"Why do my designs still look… kinda off?"


The truth? Good design is a learned skill. And just like anything else, you get better by doing it - intentionally, consistently, and with the right kind of practice.


If you’ve ever:


  • Second-guessed your product covers

  • Struggled with a font combination or colour palette

  • Got overwhelmed trying to make things look cohesive


...you’re not alone.


Design isn’t just about making things pretty. It’s about creating trust. Great design tells people, “This is worth your time. You’re in good hands.”

And that’s something you can totally learn - starting today.


Instead of trying to “be more creative” (what does that even mean?), what if you focused on one small design skill per day?


Like:

  • Understanding why white space matters

  • Creating your own color palette from a photo you love

  • Redesigning one listing cover so it actually pops


One new idea. One tweak. One tiny shift each day. That’s what the Design Skill Sprint is all about.

What is the Design Skill Sprint?


The Design Skill Sprint is a free 30-day planner created just for digital product creators like you. It gives you:

  • Daily design prompts that actually teach you something useful

  • Space to reflect on what worked (and what didn’t)

  • Bonus challenges to push your skills a little further

  • Gentle accountability to build real confidence over time


It’s not about being perfect. It’s about practicing on purpose.


Why this works: Design skills don’t magically appear. But when you give yourself a framework, a plan, and permission to explore - things click faster than you expect.


You'll stop overthinking fonts.


You'll start seeing why some designs feel polished.


And you’ll actually enjoy the process of improving.
