A high-level coaching partnership ready to guide your design firm to its next level.

Work 1:1 with Michele — as your personal Business Advisor — over 12 months to build financial longevity, a sustainable business structure, and your next big vision for your design firm and life.

The faster and larger your business grows, the more complex your challenges become.

When a design business hits 7 figures, something naturally shifts. Challenges and management become more complex, but at the same time, your vision and goals grow in size, too.

  • Maybe you’ve grown your team and vendors

  • Maybe luxury projects are raising the stakes

  • Maybe you want to expand to another location

  • Maybe you have dreams of a storefront

  • Maybe you want to step out of all design work

  • Maybe you’re building this business to sell or pass to your children

Whatever your new vision, what got you here is rarely what’s going to get you there. The next level requires different skills, new strategies, and solid systems.

That’s where Michele comes in. With her by your side, you’ll have a partner in leadership, decision-making, and foundation-setting for your next beautiful era.

“A DIFFERENCE-MAKER FOR MY BUSINESS”

“I wouldn’t be here without Michele. My business would be a mess. I literally talk to her about everything, and she is always willing to jump in and problem-solve with me. Our time together is a difference-maker for my business.”

— Rose, Interior Designer

“HELPED ME REALIZE MY WORTH”

“The first time I talked with Michele, I teared up. I knew she was going to change all of this for me. In that very first call, she helped me realize my worth, and since then I’ve rearranged my business (with her help) to be sure I am charging for it.”

— Lauren DeLoach, Lauren DeLoach Interiors
