Episode Details

Are you really considering where the interior design industry (and market) are going today? How you got started in this business is NOT what is going to keep you relevant.

This is one of the fastest growing and ever-changing industries out there and we as business owners must be thinking about and asking your clients for feedback.

Feedback should be considered a gift in how to understand and meet the client where they are. You must take it in stride and use it to grow. The balancing act is REAL, but if you continue to show your passion (even 23 years later) this will become your key ingredient to success. If you give your clients an experience worthy of telling their friends--they will.

Mic drop.

Oh--wait, you haven't even heard my damn good truth yet! Don't miss it!

These workshops are 2–3 hour deep dives (some more than one day) built for creative entrepreneurs who want to lead with confidence, price with authority, and grow with intention. We created this workshop series with tracks that cover the challenges we know designers face: pricing, sales, client relationships, project management, marketing, and leadership.

Each workshop is designed to stand alone — so you can choose the topics that matter most right now — while still connecting to the bigger picture of building a profitable, sustainable design business.
