Let's get laser focused on improving our systems, processes and working with amazing clients. Shall we?

We’re here to equip interior designers to run a business they love. 

I’ve run my interior design business sisalla for a solid 11 years and honed my skills as an interior designer for 10 years before that. Consider me a bit of an over-sharer extraordinaire when it comes to shining a light on what is a closed industry.

I have created a business that is centred around my family and lifestyle but when it comes to business, I ain’t playing. Now I'm sharing how you can too.

01

ATTRACTING CLIENTS & GETTING PUBLISHED

Learn how to attract the RIGHT clients; social media, branding, photography and getting published. Let's do this! 
Great clients want to work with designers that are professional and they can trust their taste; this is what getting published can do for your business. If it's high time to then gather 'round, because this online course has it covered.

02

THE DESIGN PROCESS in-person

Are you ready to onboard amazing clients, price projects the right way and build a solid design process for your business? The Design Process is an online course to gain confidence and know-how. Get clarity on procurement, fees,  presentations, and the see the entire interior design project sequence.

03

There is something magic about being in a room together with other designers that ‘get it’. I’m delivering an intense training on how to arrange your fees, an in turn the design process. I’m talking numbers, procurement, when to send an invoice and how to talk to your clients about your contract. 

04

SOFTWARE COURSES

Get ready because this isn’t like other SketchUp, Autocad or Indesign courses. You’re learning from me, a fully qualified, practicing interior designer. So that you actually learn the things that really matter to us. I teach you in engaging online courses that you can do at your own pace.

05

AI FOR INTERIOR DESIGN

As creatives, we need to find more time to CREATE. 
AI technology can save us some serious time. 
Use AI technology in a way that is still ‘you' and learn how to harness this technology in your interior design business. 

We work in an industry where there are ebbs and flows. 
In those quieter periods it sure helps to have a few income streams coming in. Heck, even when design work is busy, it's still amazing to see revenue flow in from other ways that purely client work.  Brand collabs, e-commerce, courses, workshops, speaking events and more. Let's dive in.

DIVERSE INCOMES FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS

Let’s get you unstuck.
I’ve helped hundreds of interior designers inside The Design Society and for the first time, I’m opening up sessions to meet with you in a private online session OR in person.

I’m feeling more confident to charge my clients for the value I add to the projects, instead of charging hourly rates.
