The Mission
I started the Designer's Foundation Course to equip you with the foundational tools that you need to grow an independent brand that really thrives.
I teach this method because in the early days of my brand I found it so hard to get any help with strategy and growth. Every marketing and PR service seemed to cost extortionate fees. And when I tried them they didn't work because I could only afford to do them for a really short time.
I had no system, plan or strategy. So marketing could never change my life on it's own. The truth is that I'd failed to put strong foundations for years! It doesn't have to be that way for you.
In 6 weeks your outlook will change and you'll gain clarity. You'll complete the course focused on growing a successful business that works for you.
I'm going to teach you to ignore the noise of useless marketing and PR "hacks" and start leading from your gut. You are a powerful creative force and you're capable of more than you think. I know this because I've harnessed my creativity for business and so have my students.
Artists and designers CAN be great business people, and that includes YOU!
"I just got 3 online orders in one evening! Doing my happy dance! Amazing and I have only just started working on Ali's tips and advice"

"In February 2019 I came across Ali Mapletoft and dared myself for the first time in many years to believe that she might be able to help me achieve my dream of building my own brand. This was a huge step outside of my comfort zone, but I haven't looked back, apart from to see how far I have come."

And the key to success is always support
If you’re an independent designer who’s looking to grow a brand that’s stocked in beautiful shops and sells consistently online I can help. Building a brand from scratch is the journey I’ve taken with my label Age of Reason; I began with no training, expertise or investment and gradually built the business through highs and lows.
It hasn’t always been easy, and there we times when I didn't know how I'd make it. There were scary moments when I thought I’d be broke for the rest of my life. But through perseverance and asking for help from the right industry experts, I gradually built a thriving label.
Now I share that knowledge to equip you with the foundational tools you need to do the same thing much faster than I did.
