WHAT IF YOU COULD...
create & scale your small business, in a simpler way....
uh, yes please
Our Designed Simply Membership offers a calm, clear path to building a business that fits real life.
I didn’t start my business with a plan, honestly I'm learning that most people don’t. I started with a handful of ideas, a few dozen scribbled notebooks, and a quiet hope that maybe this could become my next act once my kids were grown. I remember sitting at my desk, staring at digital products I felt proud of, and wondering why everything still felt… well, chaotic.
​
Everyone around me seemed to know things I didn’t (spoiler: they didn’t), things like:
how to write a product description that actually sells,
how to structure a website so customers can find what they need,
how to talk about their business without feeling awkward,
how to make SEO feel less like learning a second language,
And systems? That felt like something reserved for people who went to business school.
​
I wanted a business that felt meaningful and sustainable, but I didn’t know how to get there. If you’ve ever felt that way, you’re not alone. And this membership exists because of that exact feeling.
. . . . .
There was a day I remember clearly.
I was juggling product ideas, listing updates, customer messages, half-finished designs, and the pressure to “do all the things.” I felt busy but not productive. Creative yet unfocused. Excited but stuck. And honestly? Exhausted.
​
I realized I needed a different way of running my business, one built on clarity rather than hustle. Something steady. Something that supported me instead of draining me.
So I stripped everything back and asked myself what actually mattered. I simplified my workflow, created structure, and learned how to build from the ground up:
vision first, brand and messaging next, systems after that.
​
Slow.
Steady.
Clear.
Calm.
​
Little by little, my business shifted. It became easier. More intentional. More sustainable.
More me.
​
That same clarity is what I now share inside the Designed Simply Membership.
This isn’t a fast-paced, hustle-heavy program. You won’t find pressure, urgency, or a never-ending list of tasks. Instead, you’ll find a place where your creativity isn’t an afterthought, your personality matters, your business is allowed to grow at a pace that feels good, and you can actually breathe while learning.
​
You don’t have to keep up — you just have to keep going.
If you’re craving a quieter, clearer way to build your business, you’ll feel right at home here.
DREAM BUSINESS
blueprint
Inside the membership, we move through the foundations of building a sustainable business in a calm, intentional way. You won’t be rushed or pushed. Instead, you’ll work step-by-step through the pieces that matter most, learning at a pace that fits your life.
1
.................................................
business plan
First you need to create your dream BUSINESS PLAN for a scalable business with a unique niche. Even if you're already selling products or offering services, this module helps you create a clearer vision for where you're headed, catch potential blind spots, & decide what you need to focus on first. Our popular FOCUS workbook is included with the membership! We also go over setting up accounts, creating legal disclosures, & organizing finances.
.......................................
brand identity
2
..................................................
.................................................
Then you’ll need to develop your cohesive BRAND IDENTITY. We start by identifying your values + voice which guides your decisions on colors, fonts, images, & messaging. Our Complete Brand Guide is included in the membership, which guides you through finding your voice & your visuals. Then we identify your ideal customer and work through creating your value content strategy.

...................................................
website & seo
.................................................
..................................................
You won't be successful if people can't find you, so we explain how SEO works and show you how to build your website with strong keywords and metadata so that you show up on searches. We also go over how every bit of content you create needs to serve a specific purpose- no more throwing spaghetti at the wall, we identify your content pillars and build a strategy around bringing in the people that need what you provide. We also cover analytics- how to set it up, review it, and make adjustments based on real data.
...................................................

.................................................
systems
Then we cover setting up automated SYSTEMS, integrations, funnels, and creating your email list. You'll learn workflows that calm the chaos and allow sales to happen in the background, helping your business run smoothly.
.................................................
the
products
.........
We then work through Product Development. That could be an e-book, webinar, course, membership, affiliate links, or even Print on Demand products like clothing, home goods, and more. Creating additional income streams, especially passive ones, helps you create a solid foundation, one layer at a time, to avoid overwhelm & frustration. You can continue creating the products & services you love to provide while having additional offers sell in the background.
“Just focus on the possibilities. The limitations will take care of itself.” -Anthon St. Maarten
should I add passive products?
I created my business with only passive products and wow, is it a wonderful business model! Print-on-Demand & Digital Products can be created once and sold endlessly without you ever having to package & ship anything. But even if you offer in-person services, handmade products, or sell wholesale, adding passive products to your business frees up your time & resources with products that scale effortlessly.
Print-on-Demand
Print-on-Demand is one of the fastest growing product arenas and for good reason. You simply design your product & list it for sale. The Print-on-Demand company integrates with your website or marketplace site and ships the item directly to the customer saving you time & effort.
Digital Products
Digital Products are a fantastic tool to grow your business with ease. They have larger profit margins than Print-on-Demand and they're delivered to the customer instantly, making the whole transaction process run smoothly. You can sell them on your website or on a marketplace making them so versatile.

I'M ANDREA,
I've been exactly where you are right now.
Starting my business has been both fulfilling and frustrating. I had more creative ideas than I knew what to do with, and I struggled to make sense of all the information out there, SEO, algorithms, branding, marketing, market research… it felt like every step came with a brand-new learning curve.
​
I’ve made plenty of mistakes along the way, mistakes that cost time, energy, and money, but they also taught me what actually matters when building a small business. I learned how to cut through the noise, simplify my workflow, and create systems that support my life instead of taking it over.
​
This membership was created so you don’t have to learn everything the hard way. Inside, you’ll find clear, simple guidance to help you understand your niche, identify your ideal audience, do meaningful market research, and build workflows that keep your business organized and sustainable.
​
You don’t have to have everything figured out.
You don’t have to be “tech savvy.”
You don’t have to hustle to keep up.
You just need a clear path — and you absolutely can do this.
FAQ~
DETAILS MATTER. SO HERE'S A BIT MORE:
01
What is your Cancellation Policy:
We care first and foremost about people. You can cancel at anytime, no questions asked. Be sure to cancel at least 3 days prior to the next renewal date so that you won't be charged the following month.
02
What is your Refund Policy:
Due to the digital nature of the membership and the amount of content being provided, we offer refunds during the first 7 days only.
03
Do I need to have a business already:
No. Whether you're starting from scratch or rebuilding something you’ve outgrown, the membership will guide you through the foundations step by step.
04
I don’t have a lot of time. Will this still work for me:
Yes. Everything inside is designed to be simple, clear, and easy to follow at your own pace. No pressure, no deadlines.
05
What if I'm not a "tech" person:
That’s exactly who this is for. You’ll learn website basics, SEO, planning, and systems in a very approachable, calm way.
06
What kind of templates are included:
We want to make it easy for you to take a template and create a digital product or even a freebie to get people on your email list. We have planning templates like weekly planners, meal planners, calendars, habit trackers, social media planners, and more. We have cards, tags, homeschool documents, portfolio templates, ebook templates, & storybook planning sheets, slide decks, wedding, and airbnb products. I'm certain there are more- but as I'm sure you know, the list is exhaustingly long. If there's something you're looking for, just ask. Even if I don't have it, I can usually create something pretty quickly. All templates come with a link to edit in Canva. (I also provide simple hand-drawn graphics from time to time, and take requests for new ones.)
07
Can I join if I have a service-based business or am not a designer:
Absolutely. The principles inside apply to any small business owner wanting clarity, structure, and a more sustainable workflow. And I show you how to develop products that fit your niche, designed simply inside Canva, without any design experience needed.
08
What if I don't have a product idea yet?
Don't worry at all. We cover building your dream business and deciding your niche in Module 1. When you start to look inward to what is important to and about you, it helps you know what kind of products you'll get excited about. I have a sneaky suspicion that you really do have more thoughts & ideas than you recognize right now.
A bit of real talk. Over the years, I’ve followed and learned from several big-name educators I truly admire. Their work is incredible, but the downside of their success is that you don’t really get access to them anymore. Your questions can feel small. Their answers can feel rushed. And the whole experience starts to feel a little disconnected. That’s not the kind of business I want for myself, and it’s not the kind of space I want to create here.
​
My dream has always been to build a business that gives me freedom: financial, creative, and the freedom to live life fully without being glued to a screen. I don’t want to be a CEO or someone who’s constantly “on.” I want things to work simply and steadily. I want time to enjoy the world God made, to create when I’m inspired, and to live at a pace that feels good and peaceful.
That’s why this community exists. It’s built with intention, clarity, and room to breathe. You won’t get lost in the crowd, and you won’t be left waiting for months for answers. Even as lessons continue to roll out, you’ll have clear guidance, simple systems, and support that helps you keep moving forward.
​
Our new syllabus update has everything scheduled to be complete by June 2026. When the full library is released, the price of the membership will increase. But if you join now, you lock in the current rate for as long as you stay.
I’m building this space slowly and intentionally and I’d love to welcome you inside as it grows.
If you have questions that I haven't answered here, please reach out to us at support@rusticsimpledesign.com.

We know this sounds different than what's out there. That's the whole point. If we have a system, a template, a technique that can help you, we will share it. It may take a little time to get everything loaded into the membership...

But good things take time.
