I have been asked over and over
about the secret to my success.

 

Since starting Happy Place Interiors in 2016, my business has been nonstop. Even during the pandemic, I was fully booked with more than 100 people on a waitlist—all for Interior Design Consultations. Consultations have always been my top service. In 2021, I streamlined my business to focus exclusively on Consultations.


But here’s a little backstory: before diving into the world of interior design, I spent over 20 years in advertising, marketing, and graphic design. I helped all kinds of companies launch, grow, and thrive. That experience taught me a ton about what it takes to build a successful business and attract the right clients. I’ve taken all that knowledge and blended it with my passion for design to create the ultimate business blueprint for you.


In this comprehensive The Designer's Blueprint: Mastering the Consult-Driven Business Model Course, I’ll walk you through how to build a business that’s flexible, freeing and attracts clients who can’t wait to work with you.

I know what it’s like to navigate the winding road of entrepreneurship, and I’ve learned some valuable lessons along the way. Instead of you having to figure it all out the hard way like I did, I’m here to hand you the shortcut to success! Let’s make your dream business a reality together.



THE DESIGNER'S BLUEPRINT
WILL TEACH YOU:

 

  • The ultimate (and easiest) Sales Cycle to keep your calendar booked without creating a tons of content

  • What makes clients so happy

  • How to prove yourself online

  • How to be the most efficient with your time and keep profits high (time is money!)

  • What is worth investing in

  • What to be aware of 

  • Essential tools of the trade

  • Pricing strategies​

  • Getting repeat business

  • Passive income

  • Expanding your offerings with a la carte services

  • How and why social media works — and doesn't

  • Where to start and how to prioritize

  • EVERYTHING you need to know to be very successful with a Consult-driven business model

  • I will also share with you where I failed, what I did wrong and the mistakes I made — so you can learn from them and not repeat them

And more!
