TAKE THE PROGRAM
Lori Steeves, Vancouver BC
If you are starting an Interior Design Business, or if you have been running a business for some time but are feeling frustrated, angry and under paid, I highly recommend joining Business of Design. I have completed this program myself and it utterly transformed my business. Today, I have a thriving business AND a life that includes never working evenings or weekends, taking a month long vacation each summer with no break in income and supporting my family. I can't recommend Business of Design enough. In this crowded world of on-line communities and courses, this program is truly a game changer! Don't waste any more time. Sign up today!
Are You Ready for Change?
I became an interior designer because the work matters. What we create shapes how people live, and I always wanted to give my clients my very best.
But there was a time when I couldn’t—not because I lacked passion or talent, but because my business wasn’t supporting me. I struggled with clients, efficiency, and getting paid fairly. The stress chipped away at my confidence and creativity. Loving my work became harder than it should have been.
So I did something about it. I sought out expert business coaching and built a clear, practical system to manage my design firm. When my business improved, my work improved—and so did my life.
That journey is why I created Business of Design®.
I want the same freedom for you. Business of Design® helps talented designers run businesses that support their creativity, value their expertise, and allow them to love their work again—without burnout or chaos.
Let’s make that happen for you.

You’re Talented — So Why Does Running Your Business Feel So Hard?
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone:
- You second-guess your pricing
- Projects take longer than expected
- Scope creep eats away at profit
- Clients push boundaries
- Income feels unpredictable
- You work constantly, but it never feels like enough
This isn’t a talent problem.
It’s a systems problem.
Design School Taught You How to Design
Business of Design® Teaches You How to Run a Profitable Business
Most designers were never taught:
- How to price with confidence
- How to lead clients professionally
- How to protect profit and boundaries
- How to build repeatable systems
That’s exactly where Business of Design® comes in.
I'M READY TO START
Andrew Frost, Melbourne AU
I started by listening to the BOD podcast, then decided it was time to take the plunge and invested in the full program by joining up. The systems and information I learned about were invaluable to my business. I would highly recommend Business of Design to any Designer either just starting out or established. Thank you Kimberley and Cheryl. X
Zilia Zhou, Pasadena CA
I’m genuinely grateful for the BOD 15. I’ve been using it like a north star for the past six months, and it has completely transformed the way I talk about my process. Clients love that I’m structured and organized, so thank you all to the BOD team and Kimberley for building something this solid.

Coaching & Support
Transformation does not happen through information alone — it happens through implementation, accountability, and expert guidance. Through monthly group coaching, you’ll receive live, practical support to apply what you’re learning, solve real-time business challenges, and stay focused on measurable progress.
You’re never navigating growth alone. With ongoing support through email spot coaching, you can ask questions as they arise and receive clear, strategic direction to keep moving forward with confidence and momentum.
When you engage fully in coaching and support, you will:
Accelerate implementation of systems and strategies
Gain clarity on real-time business challenges
Strengthen decision-making with expert input
Stay accountable to revenue and profit goals
Maintain momentum and avoid costly delays
Build confidence as a decisive, strategic leader
You are not alone.
You became a designer because you love the work.
But running a profitable, efficient business? That’s a different skill set.
My background is in business—finance, operations, strategy—and I bring that perspective to interior design firms every day.
When you join Business of Design®, you’re not just getting access to training. You’re getting support.
I’m your first point of contact. I answer your questions, help you think through pricing, staffing, billable targets, and operational challenges—and hold you accountable to the systems that protect your profit.
You don’t have to guess.
You don’t have to figure it out alone.
You don’t have to carry CEO-level decisions by yourself.
You ask. We look at it together.
That’s the BOD™ difference.
You may be running your firm—but you’re not running it solo.

This is what running a professional design business feels like.
I'M READY FOR CHANGE
Let’s Talk About the Real Cost of Not Having Systems
One underpriced project.
One month of negotiating fees.
One difficult client.
One blown timeline.
Each of those costs more than a year inside Business of Design®.
This isn’t an expense — it’s a profit-protection system.
(and bonus, it's a business write-off)
Ellie Black, Arlington VA
Starting the BOD program has changed my business completely and I’m so grateful that you were there to answer my questions and help me get started from the beginning. I implemented the BOD15 in August (and I’m only on step 7), I’ve seen dramatic improvements in my business operations, client management, and profitability (99% increase in only 3 months!).
Dana Enderby, De Pere WI
I have studied and implemented the BOD 15 Steps into my practice. I now have confidence, quality systems and a great understanding of HOW to run my design business. I now have my own studio and shop and have tripled my income. BOD helped me to pinpoint my ideal client – not only to identify who I think they are but also who they are looking for and who I need to be for them.
