Designed To Thrive
When you thrive, your business will thrive.
What did you envision when you first started your interior design business?
It likely wasn’t working late every night or feeling overwhelmed and uninspired.
You’ve unintentionally lost sight of your original vision without space to . Between clients, contractors, family, life, and all the swirling thoughts — you just wish you could take a breath.
Just because you’re overwhelmed today doesn’t mean that’s how it always has to be.
What if instead:
✓ You’re continuing to grow your interior design business so that it’s profitable, fulfilling, and aligned with your personal goals
✓ Your success in business no longer comes at the expense of your relationships, health, or by resorting to burnout just to get there
✓ You have the confidence to be the CEO of your design firm
✓ You work fewer hours and are seeing your revenue climb
✓ You had the individualized coaching and support to help you overcome any limiting beliefs or patterns that are holding you back
Create the success you want in your business and be present in your life with private coaching.
This isn’t just another business program for interior designers that tells you the “right” way to run your business. This is a custom framework that blends strategy and mindset tools.
“My business had grown organically and I was at a turning point. Rather than reacting to my growth, I wanted to start planning my future strategically and proactively. I knew I needed structure, accountability, and an excellent sounding board to be able to make real change. Whatever your vision for your business, Desi can help you refine it, set goals, identify obstacles, and lay the groundwork for what’s next.”

Meet your coach.
I’m Desi, a Master Certified Life & Business Coach for interior designers who are exhausted from the hustle and have lost their spark. As a former interior designer who found another way, I understand how it feels to be trapped in the constant spin of busy work.
In Designed to Thrive, I partner with you using a powerful combination of mindset and strategy so that you can make the time to build meaningful progress toward your business and life goals.
As a creative business owner, your business is an integral part of your life. That’s why we’ll get clear on your business and life vision and set goals that align with both.
Here are just some of the results you can expect after 3 months together:
✓ Smooth and efficient systems and processes. It’s time to fix what isn’t working. You’ll learn precisely what actions to take to get your systems in order to help you deliver an amazing client experience. Happy clients means more referrals and fewer headaches.
✓ Create a schedule that serves you. You’re running all over the place — from the job site to hopping on a client consultation calI — it’s easy to run yourself into the ground. Together, we’ll design a time management system that’s efficient, saves you time, and most importantly, works for your life.
✓ Set and achieve your goals. Not only will you clear on what’s next, but you’ll also learn to take consistent action. Consider those "someday" business initiatives as good as done because you’ll count on yourself to follow through.
✓ Become the leader and CEO. Whether you’re new to hiring or have an existing staff, you’ll the tools and support you need to confidently delegate and step away from busy work. With strategic decisions and big-picture planning, you’ll know exactly how to take your business to the next level.
✓ Get crystal clear on your business and life vision. We’ll look at your life and business holistically to ensure both areas support one another. Clarity creates momentum. It’s time to stop wishing things would change, start making it happen, and put your priorities at the top of your to-do list.
✓ Set and maintain client boundaries. Put an end to all day distractions and weekend calls when you truly believe in your value and set clear expectations. You’ll feel focus and accomplished when you focus on what’s important rather than urgent.
✓ Adopt a success mindset AND personalized strategy. Without addressing why you aren't doing what you say you want to do, you’ll keep doing what you’ve always done. Mindset is the missing piece to your success, efficiency, and enjoying your life and business.
✓ Get back to loving what you do. Put the fun back into running your interior design business. You became a designer because you love the work. It doesn’t have to feel like a burden when growth is sustainable.
When you thrive, your business will thrive.
Business growth requires personal growth - and you don’t to do alone anymore. With your Designed to Thrive coaching partnership, you’ll take your business to the next level with clarity and confidence.

"We are fearless leaders who have taken control of our business"
We used to work all hours of the day, didn’t have the courage to make changes, and people pleased our way into time management issues. Life and business was based around fear and chaos prior to our coaching program with Desi. Now we are fearless leaders who have taken control of our business in all aspects from client relationships to our employees. Desi helped transform our 8 year old business into a well oiled machine.

"The investment is absolutely worth it."
Working with Desi I increased revenue (by a factor of 5!) and now only take on projects that align with my goals. I am no longer paralyzed or controlled by fear. I can look at challenges objectively, work through them in a timely manner and am confident in my skills as a business owner. I have completely changed my mindset to affect the results I want to create. The investment is absolutely worth it.

"I learned to steer the ship"
I used to feel like I lived in my own head a lot and would get frustrated if clients asked questions. I took it as if they were questioning me and my process. After working with Desi, she helped me learn to steer the ship and turn challenges into opportunities. Desi has an uncanny ability to hear everything between the lines. Her tools didn’t just change my business. They changed how I interact with my husband, friends, colleagues and so much more.

Design a Business & Life Vision
Your business is not a one-size-fits-all — this is why your coaching partnership begins by identifying the vision and values that will guide your growth. It’s time to decide what you want, not just what you think you can have.
-
Create a Customized Plan
You’ll identify clear goals and priorities and consistently work toward your objectives while also leaving space for the unexpected. This is your time and we always have the flexibility to adjust course.
-
Enjoy Your Success
Your future as the CEO you are meant to be, begins now. I’m here to support you through obstacles and celebrate your success. The skills you’ll develop, and who you will become in the process, will forever change your business.
