You’re a talented designer.
But turning your skills into a business?

That’s the hard part.

From creating a design proposal sample to managing client files, launching your business can feel overwhelming. I created this kit to make it easier. Instead of winging it, you’ll get professional templates, tools, and steps I’ve refined through years of experience. These are the exact freelance proposal templates and systems I wish I had when I decided to start my graphic design business.

Designed by a Designer Who's Been There

Hi, I’m Patrice — a branding and web designer with 15+ years of experience and founder of Patrice Horvath Design. I started my own studio in 2016 after working at several design agencies, and I know firsthand how confusing the “business side” of freelancing can be when you’re just starting out.

This kit is everything I wish I had when I launched. It’s helped me book aligned clients, streamline my process, and feel more confident in my pricing. My goal is to help you do the same, without guessing your way through it.

Designer Feedback

  • "This template bundle is perfect for freelancers who are just getting started. It goes beyond plug and play and walks you through every step of setting up your business, even before you land your first client. Starting out can be overwhelming, especially when it comes to the business side of freelancing, but this bundle takes the guesswork out of it so you can spend less time stressing and more time designing. Highly recommend!"

  • “ Patrice's starter kit was super helpful! The business guide alone has a ton of great information. Between the templates and her file delivery checklist, it really helped bring the little things to my attention and fill gaps in my client process. I feel a lot more confident now moving forward with my design business!”
