WE'RE HERE TO HELP.
Fee proposals, process, profits, not to mention contracts, websites and instagram - it’s a LOT!
Find the passion to design again.
Have you worked on projects that went around in circles, revision after revision, swimming in a sea of indecisiveness (it sucks).
Ever wondered if it was even worth it?
If You Need:
✓ TO MAKE MORE MONEY
You need to straighten out your fees; how much to charge and when. Figure out procurement and feel good about charging more.
✓ NO MORE ENDLESS REVISIONS
Your projects should run in a sequence when one step rolls into another that eliminates endless revisions.
✓ MORE TIME AND FLEXIBILITY
No more feeling burned out and under-appreciated. I've been there and can show you the way out.
You’re tired of working all the time for little return. It's time to make some changes.
You’d like to be attracting your ideal clients and working on projects that bring high reward — both financially and creatively.
GO AT YOUR OWN PACE IN THIS ONLINE COURSE
Here's What We'll Cover
Module 1
Client OnBoarding
It sets the tone for the project, so we want to get off on the right foot, don’t we! How to structure the fees and if a consultation is paid or not. It’s all about confidence, and we have tips to help with that.
module 2
Schematic Design
How to develop and present a concept that really connects with the client on a deeper level than ‘I like it’. When they are invested, they’re on board and let me tell you, when it comes to invoicing things are a heck of a lot easier!
MODULE 3
Trade Day
You walk out of that meeting and you want to high-five yourself. I guide you on how to do it, step-by-step.
module 4
Design Development
The design progresses into something that our trades can quote from. I show you examples of various project types.
module 5
Construction Documentation
Let’s explore all that is included in a drawing package. See real examples.
module 6
Design Management
Communication is key, but how to keep on track with so many balls in the air?
module 7
Installation
It’s not like a ‘big reveal’ on tv, so let’s manage the clients expectations around this. How does this all happen and how to charge for it.
module 8
Project Completion & Photoshoot
Hang on, is a photoshoot is part of the design process? Yep, sure is. We loan all sorts of props, whatever it takes to pull it off.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
I get it.
I've been there too.

THIS IS A GREAT FIT FOR:
- Designers who are READY to supercharge their business and fast-forward their growth. If this sounds like you, then we’ll fit perfectly!
- Interior designers, decorators, stylists wanting to increase profitability.
- Second career designers that want to fast-track their business.
- Seasoned designers that want to level up and be more profitable.
- Emerging designers that want to skip the costly mistakes.
- We're here for the 'action-takers' but we will give you a gentle nudge along the way too.

IF YOu'VE EVER THOUGHT TO YOURSELF:
“Why am I working all the time yet not charging enough?”
“Hourly or flat fee? And how do I know that I'm charging enough?”
“I wish I could photograph my projects but they are all too 'bitsy' and the client kept changing things. Now the spaces are not worth shooting.”
“Why doesn't my client trust me? It's so frustrating when they are so confused and keep changing the design.”
“I just need an outside perspective since I'm way too close to my business to think clearly right now.”
“My clients asked about trade discounts. But I don't want to pass on my trade prices. Send help!”
THEN THIS IS THE RIGHT FIT FOR YOU.
