About CPD
About Us
Couch Potato Designs is a creative studio built for the multi-hyphenate — the designer-educator-entrepreneur who’s doing the most and still needs a mockup template by Monday.
Founded by Ja’Tara, a college design professor and full-time creative strategist, CPD is part design service, part learning hub, and part creative support system. Whether you’re here to upgrade your brand visuals, learn how to charge your worth, or finally organize your client files like a pro, you’re in the right place.
And yes, we believe you can work in sweats and still get six-figure results.
What We Value
We don’t do fluff, we don’t gatekeep, and we definitely don’t believe in doing the most for the least.
At Couch Potato Designs, we value:
-
Function with flavor – Every design should look good and work smarter.
-
Creative independence – Whether you're freelancing or full-timing it, we’re here to help you build your own lane.
-
Respect for the process – From onboarding to offboarding, we keep things clean, clear, and client-ready.
-
Representation that hits – We center Black creatives and real-world stories in everything we produce.
-
Rest as a resource – Burnout doesn’t build brands. Strategy does.
Our Mission
To help designers, creatives, and everyday entrepreneurs look professional, work smarter, and build systems that actually support their lifestyle.
Whether it’s a contract template, a color-corrected mockup, or a mindset shift about pricing your work — we’re here to make the creative hustle less chaotic and more you.
