What if you could finally create the interior design business of your dreams while consistently bringing in six figures and doing it all with
No stress?
I know you have the design talents, but you just need a bit of help with the business side of design.
→ Are you in the early stages of your design business and realize it's time to properly set up your company to look and act more professional?
→ Do you find yourself struggling in your current design business or worrying and feeling anxious about clients and projects?
→ Or have you finally decided to take that leap & follow your passion & talents to become an interior designer but don't know where to start to avoid costly mistakes?
"I don't have a big team"
You think other
"seasoned designers" can accomplish much more because they have a team of people behind them to help. You wonder if you can produce the same level of projects that they do.
"Everyone else seems so successful"
Oh that highlight reel on Instagram. It's the best & worst at the same time. Your insecurities bubble to the surface & feel like you're already behind even before you get started?
"I don't really know how to charge"
This is the #1 question every designer (new or veteran) seems to face. Am I charging enough to make a profit? Do I charge hourly or flat fee? How much do I charge to not scare my client away? Sound familiar?
"I'm not a business person"
You love the creative part of being a designer & want to make money doing that! The business side can seem overwhelming to you so you might keep brushing it under the rug and ignoring important issues.
does this also sound familiar?
Just like you, I was once there too. I started from zero (literally) & systematically worked my way to 6-figures, then eventually to multi 7-figure years, and now I want to share my entire proven system with you.
I remember my first paying interior design client. I was both excited AND scared! How much should I charge? How long would it take? What would the process be? Oh, and there was that pesky, nagging question of was I going to actually make a profit from this project?!
So.
Many.
Questions.
I can tell you I made mistakes (lots of them) but you know what else I did? I had the drive to learn, and I found the determination to succeed and figure it all out!
And figure it out I did-
All the way to 6 figures in revenue in my first year in business,
...and soon thereafter-
I hit 7 figures and haven't looked back.
I have taught hundreds of other designers to do the same too.
And So Can You:
Choose the Type of Projects You Love 🩷
Flip The Repeatable Processes Switch On 💡
Make 6 Figures Over & Over 💸
I can guarantee you this:
You don't need years of experience, a degree, a large team, or a huge following to build a thriving interior design business.
at the end of the day, all you really want is a successful & profitable design business that lets you be, well, A Designer!
You see other people in our industry living their dream every single day, and you're a bit frustrated that it's not your reality yet.
because I've been exactly where you are right now
Believe me when I say I get it
Now, it's your turn...
Imagine What It Would
ACTUALLY Feel Like
TO KNOW:

Meet your GUIDE
I used to be in the same place you are (well actually I was in the corner in the fetal position)... so worried about "faking it till I made it" that I took never really focused on the business side of my design business...So afraid to charge my actual (deserved) time that I would scrape off a few (or a lot of) hours to avoid a client confrontation, cramming every ounce of work into the day, only to go to bed at night to wake up thinking of something I forgot. That feeling of trying to keep up with other "successful" designers wondering what magic wand they had in their pockets to make their business so perfect?!
Listen friend, I hit rock bottom with one client in the beginning of my career because I was doing almost everything wrong. Then I spent the next 15 YEARS doing ALL the things bound and determined to fix the problems… hiring business coaches, taking design courses, trying every pricing model, testing dozens of software, hiring PR firms, hiring & firing team members, opening two offices on both US coasts, and working for hundreds of clients from all walks of life.... you name it, I did it, and then finally... IT CLICKED!
I pulled together the good, the bad, and the great of my career and created my own proprietary system that led me to 6 figures... and then 7 figures in revenue and I haven't looked back.

WHo is the Design Business Fast Track System For?
You might be wondering...
While any designer can learn from the processes, lessons, procedures, and templates inside of the Fast Track system, the course is designed for those designers who are 1) in the early stages of their design business and have not seen the success that they have hoped for in terms of ideal clients, ideal projects, profitability, processes, marketing etc. AND 2) for those ASPIRING interior designers who want to start their business journey off on the right foot and avoid the lost time and mistakes of learning without expert assistance.
How long will it take me to complete the system?
What if it's busy season, can I join later?
I've taken Online Courses before and never finish them. How will this be different?
What happens after I sign up?
There is no exact timeline that is "required" for you to complete The Design Business Fast Track System. It is a learn a you go, and at your own pace training. That being said. I have taken the time to ensure that you can learn effectively without wasted information. If you apply yourself, you should be able to spend 1-2 hours per week and complete the entire course in 6 weeks. However, I suggest taking some of the courses, if not all of them, two times to ensure you have learned it all. The good news? The content is yours forever, including any updates I make to the content or downloads!
You can! But you'd be missing out on the HUGE enrollment special we're offering right now! Plus, you'll have lifetime access to the course. So dive in and binge watch or put it on pause until things slow down. Either way, it's yours for life. Most importantly, can you really wait one more day to get your business organized and profitable?
Just like anything else in life, what you put you'll get back. If you're willing to roll up your sleeves and put in the work, this WILL work for you. And I get it, I'm a busy multi-faceted entrepreneur running a 7-figure design business, and none of us have time for fluffy BS courses! Design Business Fast Track was created for busy but motivated designers like us. All of the lessons are broken down into easy to digest lessons with a list of tasks to complete as necessary at the end. In addition, you'll have a workbook to follow along with that includes a cheat sheet to be sure you go in order, don't skip a step, and get FAST results!
As soon as you enroll in the Design Business Fast Track, you will have immediate access to the entire system! Nothing will be "dripped" out. You can choose to start at any module that you wish, however, I would prefer that you start at the beginning so that you can learn in the order that I created the course material. The platform is super easy to use with all downloads and video lessons available on your desktop, laptop, or mobile devices. You will have your own private portal that you can log into at any time to get back to your course. There is also a course progress tracker so that you can pick back up where you left off!
what is your refund policy?
This course contains proprietary information and knowledge that I have learned over the course of my experiences and education. It also contains legal information that will be accessible to you. We ask that you be certain that this program is for you and that you are ready to commit to the learning, homework, and other educational opportunities involved. To that extent, we do not offer refunds and ask that you do your research fully before purchasing. Remember, this is a journey and you need to to give yourself the grace and time to begin to comprehend and absorb the information as well as time to become a part of the DSA community. Your business (and your life) will thank you for it!
Do I have the ability to add on other items If I cHoose?
testimonials like these are exactly why I created this system! are you ready to start building a design business that supports you today too?
Yes! I created this course as a price point to allow as many designers as possible to learn from it. That being said, I also allowed some parts of it to be optional components that are available for separate purchases as you wish. For example, you might not want or need to use my interior design agreement; but if you do, I make it available, as an option. I also have other components available as options such as my Asana template, hourly rate agreement, and Tradesperson agreement. This allows me to keep the entire core components at a lower price while, allowing access to more deserving designers, and still allow you to decide if you need to add the other items as you learn through the course. You also have access to discounted rates on other programs or offers that I introduce. It's a win-win!

You don't consider yourself a creative person with a knack for making homes beautiful and want to make money sharing your gift.

You're already in the early stage of your design business and are working hard but haven't hit 6 figures yet.

You have 1-2 hours per week for the next 2 months to dedicate to this program & to changing your life forever.
You love design so much & are dedicated to making it work and are ready to invest in your future.
