✏️🗒️ Summer School is now in session! Throughout the month of July, join me here on the Revenue Ready Creative podcast each Monday for conversations with guest experts in art and design who are ready to drop knowledge on topics like building resilience in self-employment, getting your name out there in the community, switching to a value-based pricing model and so much more.

Today’s guest is Kenzi Green, a brand and web designer behind Kenzi Green Design, the host of The Unapologetic Designer Podcast, and the co-founder of The Brief Collective—where she teaches designers how to land high-ticket clients and finally ditch the starving artist mindset for good.

With a bold design eye and a business-savvy brain, Kenzi is helping the next generation of designers own their worth and show up with confidence.

Whether you’re building a brand or just learning how to say your rates out loud without second guessing yourself—today’s episode is about to redesign the way you think about pricing.

Chasing down material costs...

Trying to build a timeline you can share with clients...

Staring at a blank page when it’s time to write about your work...

Spending hours pulling reference images or mockups just to get your ideas across.

As a self-employed artist or creative business owner, these kinds of tasks can eat up your energy before you even start creating.

That’s where AI comes in—not as a replacement, but as a creative assistant! 🤖

In this episode, we’re looking at practical ways to use AI to support your process—from planning your budget and resources, to gathering inspiration, creating quick mockups, and even helping you communicate your final body of work.

It’s about freeing up your time so you can focus on the part that really matters most to you!
