Our private coaching sessions are built to help you cut through the noise, make better decisions, and leave with practical next steps you can actually use.

Experience You Can Use

Why Work With Kim & Garrett?

We do not teach maker-business theory from the sidelines. We actively build products, operate ecommerce brands, create content, manage production, and solve the same kinds of problems our clients bring to us.

Real-World Experience

Our advice comes from operating K&G Make It, Swift Fox Laser Co., Foxy Hues Paints, memberships, workshops, live events, and product-based businesses.

Practical Recommendations

We focus on what you can realistically use with your current equipment, budget, skills, available time, and business goals.

Two Perspectives

Garrett brings systems thinking, design, production, and technical problem-solving. Kim brings product strategy, marketing, branding, customer experience, and creative direction.

Honest Feedback

We will encourage what has potential, identify what is holding you back, and tell you when an idea needs to be simplified, repositioned, or retired.

What Can Come Out of a Coaching Session?

Every business and project is different. Our goal is to replace confusion with clearer decisions, practical recommendations, and a realistic plan of action.

A Better File

A cleaner and more efficient design that is easier to cut, assemble, and reproduce.

A Clearer Price

A pricing approach that better reflects your materials, labor, overhead, and profit goals.

A Smarter Workflow

A simpler production process designed to reduce wasted movement, materials, and time.

A Focused Plan

A realistic understanding of what to work on now, what can wait, and what may not deserve more of your energy.

Before You Book

Coaching Frequently Asked Questions

Where are coaching sessions held?

Sessions are held privately through Zoom. Your meeting link and appointment details will be provided after scheduling.

What happens after I purchase a session?

You will receive instructions for completing your intake form and scheduling your appointment. The intake form helps us understand your primary challenge and prepare for a focused conversation.

What should I submit before my appointment?

Depending on the session, we may ask for design files, website links, product listings, photographs, pricing information, or other relevant materials. Please submit requested information by the deadline included with your booking instructions.

Can I bring more than one problem to the session?

You may include additional questions, but each session should have one primary objective. We will address secondary questions if time allows. The Quick-Fix and Design Coaching sessions work best when the scope is narrow and clearly defined.

Does coaching include equipment repair or manufacturer support?

No. We can help you evaluate symptoms, settings, files, workflows, and likely causes based on the information available. We cannot perform physical repairs, replace manufacturer support, or guarantee that a hardware problem can be diagnosed during a coaching session.

Which design programs can Garrett help with?

Garrett primarily works with Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, xTool Studio, and LightBurn. Please describe your software and design challenge in the intake form. If your request falls outside the programs or processes we support, we will let you know before the appointment.

Will my session be recorded?

Yes. You will receive a private recording so you can revisit the recommendations and take additional notes. Recording delivery may take up to 48 hours after the appointment.

Can my spouse, employee, or business partner attend?

Yes. One spouse, employee, or business partner from the same business may attend with you. Please tell us on the intake form who will be joining.

Can I reschedule my appointment?

You may reschedule one time with at least 24 hours’ notice. Appointments canceled or rescheduled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be forfeited because that time has been reserved specifically for you.

What happens if I am late?

Your session will still end at the originally scheduled time. If you are more than 15 minutes late without contacting us, the appointment may be considered missed and may not be eligible for rescheduling.

Are coaching purchases refundable?

Because coaching requires reserved calendar time and preparation, purchases are non-refundable once an appointment has been scheduled. Please contact us before scheduling if you are unsure which session is the best fit.

Do you guarantee a specific financial or business result?

No. We provide practical recommendations based on our experience and the information you share. Results depend on your business, market, decisions, and implementation. Our goal is to help you make clearer, better-informed decisions and avoid unnecessary trial and error.

You Do Not Have to Figure Out Everything the Hard Way

Choose the session that fits your current challenge, and let’s turn the confusion into a clear next step.
