Let’s be honest: running a Squarespace design business can be equal parts exciting and exhausting.
Right now, you might be:
Spending more energy chasing clients for content and payments than actually designing.
Struggling to keep up with design trends or tech updates.
Letting marketing slide because there are only so many hours in the day.
Craving more time, freedom, and profit—but feeling trapped by your current business model.
The Square Design Summit is here to help you reset.

MEET YOUR HOST
Hey there, I’m Kate Scott.
I’m an online business educator and mentor for Squarespace designers. I grew my design business with digital products and courses, and along the way I figured out the not-so-secret recipe: scalable offers plus simple systems equals more freedom, more creativity, and way less burnout.
Now, through my courses, workshops, and the Square Design Summit, I help other designers do the same. Think of me as your business big sister—here to help you sharpen your skills, explore new ways of growing, and finally build a business that feels as good behind the scenes as it looks on the outside. If that’s what you’re after, you’re in the right place.
