You started in this business because you believed in the vision. And you know how much of an impact you have on people's lives. But over the years, you feel like you've drifted apart from your audience. Sure, they're occasionally showing up for your business and giving you money, but they're not as engaged as they were at the beginning. The honeymoon period is over.
Because without them, you're just an account on social media, a name in a directory, and a slowly dying business.
Over the course of four short weeks, you’ll move from uncertainty to clear sailing with the help of two consultants (hey, that's us!). We know that might sound crazy, but we’ve seen it happen countless times.
Most of our clients report experiencing:
We know how hard it is to stay in touch with your audience - it’s time to call in the reinforcements.
Our custom consulting engagements combine the power of a small cohort (your team), two strategic design consultants (that’s us!), and design thinking strategies to help you answer the big question that's kept you stuck spinning your wheels.
Audience insight is incredibly important to your success, so we always conduct interviews with them, whether that is in-person during the workshop or beforehand.
We'll work together for a total of 4 weeks. The first week we'll hold our meetings in person. After the first week, we'll meet twice a week virtually.
And you’ll do it all in a supportive environment that will spark innovative solutions.
Hi! We’re Megan and Jeffrey, the duo behind Fat Cap. We’ve worked together for nearly a decade and worn ALL the hats over the years. We’ve used dozens of design thinking strategies to solve our own challenges and picked our favorites for this course. We’re also proud neurodivergents, so we encourage you to come as you are.

We customize each workshop to fit your specific needs, goals, and budget. That being said, most of our workshops start at $3,000.
Yes. There’s just something extra magical about being in the same place with your team. Plus, it means we get to bring out the sticky notes, markers, gold stars, and white boards.
We are based in Vancouver, WA, and love helping the businesses around us. However, we're also happy to get on a plane or train and will discuss this with you on our discovery call.
We know everyone has unique challenges so please feel free to contact us to chat. We’re always honest about whether our workshop is the best fit. What we like to say is that we don't provide you with the answers to your problems. Instead, we give you the space to come up with the best answer to your problems with tools that you'll be able to use long after we leave.
