The Urban Designer's Visibility Blueprint — cover

WHAT YOU'LL GET

Five lessons. One shift in how visibility actually works.

✓ How to turn the expertise trapped in your project files into something the right people can actually find
✓ Why building your visibility on LinkedIn alone means everything disappears the moment you stop posting — and what to own instead
✓ Why your project announcements are invisible to the clients who'd hire you, and what to publish instead
✓ The simple fix that stops interested readers from finding you, getting interested, and drifting away with nowhere to go
✓ How to name the Signature Concept you've already been operating from for years — the same move Jan Gehl and Jane Jacobs made

…and by Day 5, you'll know exactly how to turn what you already know into a visibility system that works while you're doing the actual design work.

"Before working with Carina, my content was more sporadic and harder to execute at a high level consistently. Now it's more regular, more polished, and more aligned with the ideas I want to communicate. I'd recommend Carina to anyone who has strong ideas but needs a partner who can structure, refine, and elevate them without losing their voice — especially leaders building a distinct point of view."

Is this for me?

You're an urban design leader with real expertise — but the right people aren't finding you
You've thought "I don't know what to write about" more times than you can count, even with 10–30 years of material behind you
You've watched a marketing agency turn your firm's voice into generic sustainability posts that could belong to any firm in any city
You want the ambitious, career-defining projects — not just the ones that arrive through referrals and RFPs
"Relaunch the newsletter" has been sitting on your to-do list for the past 18 months
You want to turn what you already know into a platform — without becoming a content creator

…then The Urban Designer's Visibility Blueprint is for you.
