"It was great hearing from Femke and other designers that what I experience on a day to day isn't unique to me! I'm not alone in feeling like design reviews are scary or stakeholder buy-ins sometimes feel impossible."
Joe, Product Designer
Most designers don't have a craft problem. They have a visibility problem.
You're capable. You know your craft. But design careers are notoriously hard to navigate alone — especially without a design manager, a mentor, or a team that pushes you forward.
The designers who advance fastest aren't always the most talented. They’re the ones who make their impact visible.
Level Up Club is a community of 400+ designers built exactly for that. Daily peer support, monthly access to design leaders from companies like Meta, Google, and Stripe, plus a direct line to Femke — so you're never making a big career decision in isolation.
When your next review, promotion conversation, or career pivot comes around, you'll feel fully supported and clear on how to show your value.
If you’re ready to…
01
Stop navigating your design career in isolation
02
Get real perspectives from design leaders at companies like Meta, Google, and Stripe
03
Have people in your corner for the big career moments — promotions, pivots, difficult conversations
04
Be surrounded by designers who are as serious about growth as you are
05
Build a support system that doesn’t depend on having the right manager or team
