The Designer’s Inner Circle: Guiding you To Business Success
The Designer’s Inner Circle: Guiding you To Business Success
Are you an interior design professional looking to level up your business? Do you struggle with business hurdles, managing financials, or even paying taxes, let alone yourself? Do you struggle to keep up with the responsibility of running a company and balancing it with your life and family? I have spent more than two decades in the industry and know firsthand that to scale your business, a "make more money" strategy doesn't work. You need a solid financial strategy to grow your business and make it profitable. Over the years, I have helped many design professionals restructure their businesses and understand and optimize their finances. I made it my goal to make your business work for you, not the other way around.
“Businesses that are thriving know and understand the financial side of their business.”
I invite you to become a part of my community, which is tailored to support interior design pros ready to scale their businesses and take them to a new level - The Designer’s Inner Circle (TDIC). As a seasoned design professional, you possess the skills to transform spaces. Yet, you may often feel isolated in facing business challenges: you're expected to know how to manage money and the company's financials, maximize time, find new clients, and run your team.
I have long recognized the challenge and the need for collaborative support and seasoned guidance. After coaching numerous designers to new heights, I started TDIC—a hub where our community collaborates, shares wisdom, and confidently grows together. Joining TDIC opens doors to hands-on guidance, networking, and collaboration with like-minded professionals. Picture being part of a community where you exchange ideas, seek advice, and learn from others' experiences. This nurturing environment becomes invaluable in navigating the business terrain of interior design.
Is the TDIC coaching program a good fit for you?
If you are a business owner ready to take your company to the next level, committed to achieving better results, exploring proven financial strategies, and wisely investing time and effort into your company's growth, then TDIC's coaching program is the perfect fit for you.
By joining our community of like-minded professionals, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to and benefit from a supportive network while recognizing the value of mentorship and training to propel your business forward. Engage with forward-thinking entrepreneurs who share your dedication and take the opportunity for significant change and growth.
Spending one-on-one time with me will allow us to delve deeper into the structure of your business, as well as your goals and obstacles. Together, we can develop a solid financial plan to help you achieve your business's full potential and increase profitability. As a TDIC member, you can take advantage of a focused coaching call with me at no additional cost.
To keep you on track and ensure that your strategy continues to improve, I host monthly workshops on strategy and finance. I want to provide you with the training you need to advance your business and overcome any obstacles preventing you from scaling up.
With TDIC, the path to success is within reach. This is an investment in your company's success and growth and, ultimately, in the quality of your life.
Interior Design Business is Challenging
“I have no idea what my profits are or how viable my business is! I want to feel confident that I can maintain my current staff and potentially hire more while also building up profit. HELP!"
-A designer and a member of TDIC with a 750K annual revenue company.
The interior design business faces a large number of financial hurdles that most designers are not prepared for when starting. They don't have a background in managing company finances, but this is a part of the business that can make it or break it. Variable cash flows, overhead costs, labor and material, taxes and compliance, managing employee salaries and expenses, and the list goes on. I'm sure you have struggled to manage a few of the challenges. So have I and many of my clients.
As a member of the Inner Circle, you will be guided and given tools and solutions to overcome financial hurdles and transform the way you run your company. It is my goal for creating TDIC - to lead you to a profitable business by:
Providing you with insights into effective client management and effective financial strategies that deliver real results.
Giving you confidence in the financial parts of your business.
Teaching you pricing techniques that put you back in the driver's seat.
Connecting you with peers in the industry to grow your professional network.

"The other designers in the group have a wealth of experience and a range of project types, so getting insight from them has been invaluable, too. I also appreciate their willingness to share struggles so we can all learn."
