You’ve heard of passive income but have you heard of residual income? It’s income that one continues to receive after the completion of the income-producing work.

Carina Gardner is a fabric and paper designer. She has a PhD in design, taught at the University of Michigan for 5 years and is the Founder of  Design Suite, the only program that teaches designers how to make money while they learn how to design.

In under a year Carina scaled her business from $0 to 7-figures and now her passion is helping other artists and designers do the same; fulfill their creative dreams and make money as a designer.
