ENROLL IN THE PROGRAM

FOUNDATION, STRUCTURE, AND SUPPORT FOR A PROFITABLE DESIGN BUSINESS

Business of Design® delivers the BOD™ 15 Step Project Management Strategy, 6 supporting business programs, and hands-on coaching and support to create a complete operating system for your interior design business.

The BOD™ framework shows you how to run your projects professionally, set up the right financial and operational structure, and build the systems that protect your time, profit, and client experience.

This isn’t theory or inspiration. It’s a complete, practical system you can apply immediately to operate your business with clarity, consistency, and control.

What designers are saying...

DuVäl Reynolds

Virginia, USA

"When designers ask me how to grow their business, I tell them the same thing every time. Do what I did and start with Business of Design®. Start with the BOD15. That's where every successful design business starts."

Jodie Carter

Sydney, AU

"I just signed my first client at my new rate of $450/hour and honestly–it was a scary moment. But they said yes! Just goes to show: trust the process, hold the faith, and stick with the Business of Design® systems."

Ellen Walker

Alberta, CA

"My firm just had the best year of my career with only one large project and two smaller ones–each fully managed using Business of Design® systems. And this year is already looking even better."

Are You Ready for Change?

I became an interior designer because the work matters. What we create shapes how people live, and I’ve always wanted to give clients my very best.

But there was a time when my business wasn’t supporting me. Despite my passion and talent, I struggled with clients, efficiency, and getting paid fairly. The stress affected my confidence, creativity, and my ability to love the work.

So I changed it. I invested in business coaching and built a clear, practical system to run my design firm. When my business improved, everything else did too.

That experience is why I created Business of Design®—to help designers build businesses that support their creativity, value their expertise, and remove burnout and chaos.

Let’s make that happen for you.

Kimberley

Lori Steeves

British Columbia, CA 

"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!"

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 Your Projects and Your 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.

Real designers. Real results.

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. The systems and information I learned 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."

Zilia Zhou

California, US

"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."

A Professional Business Model — Built Specifically for Interior Designers

Business of Design® gives you step-by-step systems and strategies for running a professional, profitable design business.

No hype.
No guesswork.
Just systems you can implement, immediately.

Everything inside BOD™ works together — so you’re no longer piecing things together on your own.

EVERYTHING IN YOUR BUSINESS STARTS HERE

The BOD™ 15 Step Project Management Strategy is the foundational system that supports every other aspect of running a profitable, professional design business.

Most interior designers rely on talent, instinct, and hard work to manage projects — but without a clear system, projects drift off schedule, exceed budgets, strain client relationships, and create unnecessary stress.

Success in this industry requires more than creativity. It requires a proven, linear process.

The BOD™ 15 Step Project Management Strategy is the industry’s only field-tested, comprehensive system for running interior design projects from first consultation to final reveal (which isn't actually the end of the project). This signature program provides the exact framework designers use to deliver projects on time, on budget, and with confidence — every time.

When you implement what you learn, you will:

  • Follow a clear, step-by-step process from consultation to completion
  • Manage projects with authority and confidence
  • Reduce client stress through proactive communication and structure
  • Eliminate jobsite chaos and decision fatigue
  • Keep projects on time and on budget
  • Strengthen relationships with trades, suppliers, and vendors
  • Increase profitability through disciplined project control
  • Deliver a professional experience that sets you apart

FROM CREATIVE PROFESSIONAL TO CEO

The 6 Signature Business Programs provide the policies, systems, and financial structure that support the BOD™ 15 and transform talented designers into confident business leaders.

Build the framework that allows you to lead your company with clarity, profitability, and intention.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUILD THIS BUSINESS ALONE

Transformation doesn't happen through information alone—it happens through implementation, accountability, and expert guidance.

Our coaching and support ensure you have the encouragement, feedback, and direction you need to turn knowledge into lasting change.

Group Coaching

Receive live, practical support to apply what you’re learning, solve real-time business challenges, and stay focused on measurable progress.

In Lesson Forum

You’re never navigating this alone. Ask questions as they arise right in the classroom and receive clear, strategic direction to keep you moving forward.

Spot Coaching

Personalized support is always an email away. If you have a project specific question or want to share details privately, email spot coaching is available.

You don’t have to figure it out alone.

You became a designer because you love the work—but running a profitable, efficient business is a different skill set entirely. And when the decisions get bigger, it can feel like you’re expected to just know the answers.

You don’t have to.

When tough questions come up—pricing, staffing, billable targets, profitability, operations—you have someone to ask. We look at it together, work through it, and apply the systems that protect your business.

That’s the BOD™ difference: support, accountability, and real-world guidance when you need it.

You may be running your firm—but you’re not running it solo.

Cheryl

The Shift that will Change Your Life

When you implement these systems, you move from:

Guessing → Confidence
Chaos → Clarity
Overwork → Boundaries
Inconsistent income → Predictable profit

This is what running a professional design business feels like.

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

Virginia, US

"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, and have seen dramatic improvements in my business operations, client management, and profitability (99% increase in only 3 months!)."

Dana Enderby 

Wisconsin, US

"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."

What Your Business (and Life) Look Like After Implementing the Systems

Once you’ve implemented the Business of Design® systems and strategies, your business no longer feels reactive or uncertain. Instead, you’ll experience:

  • Clear, confident client leadership
    You know what to say, when to say it, and how to guide clients through every phase of a project.

  • Projects that run more smoothly
    Expectations are set early, communication is consistent, and fewer surprises derail your projects.

  • Pricing that finally makes sense
    You understand how you’re charging, why it works, and how to protect your margins.

  • Predictable income and cash flow
    No more guessing — your numbers are clear and intentional.

  • Less stress, more control
    Your business supports your work and your life, rather than consuming all of your energy.

  • A professional business you trust
    You’re no longer reinventing the wheel for every project — you’re operating from a system that works.
