Hi I’m Rache
I'm a self-taught web designer and developer, and the founder of Squarestylist. I started with zero coding knowledge. Since then I've built hundreds of websites, sold over a thousand templates, and mentored hundreds of designers through Standout Squarespace and Standout Shopify.
My mission has stayed the same since I started: help designers stand out with skills so they can build a design business they love.
Curiosity has led me to AI. And the longer I work with AI tools, the more I see both their power and their limits.
I created Design Forward to help web designers use AI efficiently and diligently while protecting creative work. I've distilled the essentials, so you can skip the overwhelm and start with what matters.
WEEK ONE.
The Foundations
01
Every reliable system starts with one idea learned well. Week one is where you meet Skills, the feature that hands off the work you repeat so your hours return to the work you love.
DESIGN
FORWARD
You create your first skill and watch a piece of tedious work leave your hands for good. You come to know what AI does well and where it still needs your judgment, so the thinking that makes the work yours stays with you. Ethics and safety live inside the method rather than beside it.
WEEK TWO.
The Exploration
02
A method only proves itself on the days that fill your actual calendar. Week two hands you skills built for the way designers move through a project.
DESIGN
FORWARD
A folder of assets renamed for SEO in a single pass. A sitemap and an early strategy drawn straight from a discovery call. Raw call notes turned into a proposal a client can read the same afternoon. None of it touches the creative decisions; it clears the ground around them, so more of your week belongs to the work only you can do.
WEEK THREE
The Integration
03
Some ideas ask to become something a visitor can touch. Week three is where you build AI-powered features and place them inside the platforms you already trust. Security, hosting, and scale stay with the platform underneath.
DESIGN
FORWARD
You dream up the concept; AI helps you bring it into the browser. Each one embeds cleanly into Squarespace, Shopify, or Showit, so the client keeps a site they can still maintain. What you make feels bespoke, without the burden of running the machinery yourself.
WEEK FOUR
The Application
04
By now the work is no longer practice; it runs inside real projects. Week four is where the cohort gathers to show what they built and the creative time it gave back. You leave with your own work sharpened against everyone else's.
DESIGN
FORWARD
You share the skills and features you made, and see the paths other designers took through the same tools. Someone's small decision becomes the idea you carry into your next project. The pattern across the room is clear: the hours AI absorbs are the ones you never wanted, and the craft stays in your hands.
