The program

What is Misfits Residency?

Who will you become after the program?

NOT A COURSE. NOT A CLASSROOM. A PLACE FOR CREATOR TO GROW.

The Misfits Residency is an immersive, hands-on experience where you create, experiment, collaborate, and ship real work.

You'll turn your ideas into stories, stories into content, and content into opportunities, while working alongside mentors, creators, and brands.

Who will you become after the program?
01
Build a brand people remember.

Walk out with a clear personal brand – your story, positioning, voice – and the confidence to communicate what makes you worth noticing.

02
Create. Without waiting for someone else.

Go from idea → script → shoot → edit → publish. Build the ability to turn your ideas into content independently, consistently and with intent.

03
Walk into the room ready.

Pitch your idea. Sell your value. Negotiate your worth. Present yourself with confidence – whether the room has a brand, client, collaborator, investor or audience in it.
