The Claude Design Studio

Scale Your Solo Design Business Into Agency-Tier Recurring Income Without Hiring a Team

eBook: $12.99 208 pages

Scale your solo Claude Design service past the one-person ceiling, at agency-tier prices, without hiring anyone. A three-tier offer priced above $5,000, value-based pricing that defends the rate, a client-acquisition engine, delivery run on SOPs and a ticket board, and the retainer math that turns one-off projects into predictable monthly income. Every chapter ships a template you keep. 208 pages of build-along studio systems.

Book 3 of the Claude Design Playbooks. You can design and ship with Claude. This is the book about getting paid agency rates for it without turning into an agency. A productized offer that sells a fixed result instead of your hours, retainer math that stops your income resetting to zero every month, and a delivery system that runs on AI and a lean freelancer bench, not payroll. Every blank, worksheet, script, and calculator ships as a free companion repo, organized by chapter. 208 pages, template-driven.
