HOW TO BUILD A MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS IN THE CREATIVE ARTS AND DESIGN

Designers, architects, artists, and creatives of all stripes are invited to join D.K. Smith in this interactive talk. D.K. will share the fundamental strategies, essential practices, and obstacles to building a multimillion-dollar business as an artist.

Several years after graduating from Pratt with a BFA in Photography, D.K. Smith launched his first business, which grew to $5 million in sales annually. He sold the company ten years later and launched a second venture, which by the fourth year had generated over $3 million in annual sales before being acquired by an advertising agency. D.K. then shifted his focus to web design and digital marketing, launching three synergistic companies with annual revenues of more than $8 million.
