The Designers’ Inner Circle
A proven coaching community for interior designers and window treatment professionals designed to help you grow your business, streamline operations, and make informed financial decisions.
Running an Interior Design Business Can Feel Overwhelming
The constant weight of decisions, the lack of clear financial data, and the day-to-day operational challenges often leave you questioning your next steps.
You started your business to do what you love—design—but the stress of running it sometimes makes success feel out of reach.
As a former business owner in the interiors industry, I get it. Running a successful business can feel like one colossal task that is ever-growing...and never done.
Aside from being the lead creative, you're also expected to know how to manage money, maximize time, find new clients, and lead your team.
Oh, and you probably have a family who wants you to show up sometimes, too!!
My clients come to me struggling with…
Financial Uncertainty - They don’t know where their money is going, lack clear budgets, and feel unprepared for financial planning or tax season.
Overwhelmed by Decisions - They struggle to prioritize tasks and make confident, data-driven choices, leaving them stuck in indecision.
Inefficient Operations - Disorganized systems and repetitive tasks make managing clients and projects time-consuming and stressful.
Burnout and Stress - Balancing everything alone has left them overworked, uninspired, and disconnected from their passion for design.
Team Challenges - They face difficulty building or managing a strong team, leading to inefficiency and frustration.
Lack of Confidence - They doubt their pricing strategies, fear presenting proposals, and hesitate to make bold decisions, holding them back from pursuing larger projects.
Inconsistent Growth - They feel stuck, unable to scale their business, attract dream clients, or secure larger, more profitable projects.
Unclear Vision or Strategy - Many designers lack a clear roadmap for their business, spending so much time on day-to-day operations that they neglect long-term planning.
“Becoming a member of The Designers’ Inner Circle has enabled me to first understand the Profit First method, allowing me to grow my business sustainably, and second, streamline business operations so I can focus more on the design aspect I’m passionate about.
I’ve grown to a 3,000 sq. ft. luxury design showroom in Bellevue, WA, hired a talented team of seven, and taken on my dream projects of large renovations and new construction homes. I couldn’t be more grateful for the coaching and community.”
Sarah Walker, Owner of Nuance Interior Design Showroom
