Story by Design

with Chiara Aliotta

4 Live Sessions and Q&A starting on January 12th, 2026

Your website or portfolio isn’t enough.
A strong digital presence is about more than just being online; it’s about telling a story your audience can connect with.

This course will teach you the exact techniques and tools I’ve used to build digital presence and brand identities for my clients, including tech startups, entrepreneurs, and not-for-profit organisations.

During this live workshop with me, you will learn how to define your brand and then turn it into visuals, structure, and storytelling that make your digital presence truly memorable.

✺ Frequently asked questions ✺

  • Designers, freelancers, and creative professionals who want to build their own digital presence, or help clients create one.

  • Not at all! The course is designed for anyone interested in storytelling, branding, and digital presence, even if you’re not a designer by trade.

  • The lessons are live online (2 hours each), followed by a one-hour Q&A session to review the exercises and participate in a group discussion.

  • This workshop is designed to be a live, shared learning experience. We’ll learn together, discuss, and practice in real time, and that dynamic can’t be captured in a recording.

    Recordings also tend to create a false sense of “I’ll watch it later,” which often means never. By showing up live, you’ll dedicate real time to the exercises, stay accountable, and get the full value of the workshop.

    Think of it less like a video course and more like joining a live class, where your presence is part of the experience.

  • Yes! The live Q&A sessions are designed for you to share your exercises and get feedback from me directly.

  • The fee covers all 4 live lessons, 4 Q&A sessions, access to slides and extra materials, exercises with feedback, and a certificate of completion. There are no hidden fees.

  • If you cannot attend the course, you may request a full refund up until the start date. After the course begins, refunds are not available since the value comes from live participation.

  • Yes! If you are currently a student or you are a Domestika student, you can join the course for the same early-bird price of €150, even after September 30. Just send me a valid student ID or proof of enrollment, and I’ll share a private link with the discounted rate.
