moves an interior design business forward.
Progress over perfection
Having the right support right now will give you the clarity to pick up the pace.
And that approach works.
You & I both know this. You don’t get two years—or fifteen—into your design business by waiting until everything is perfect. Along the way, you figure things out, and wing it when you have to.
But if evolving into the next chapter of your business demands more intention...
Along the way I documented how I moved from chaotic projects and constant second-guessing to running a business where projects flowed, clients trusted me, and my team knew exactly what to do.
I’ve shared that process with over 1,000 designers—and I’m here to support you as you build what comes next.

How I got here
Through the podcast, and my online courses, I shared the systems, templates and processes I had built running my own firm.
2020-2024
I taught designers online.
2020
The podcast launch
I launched the Resilient by Design podcast from my kid’s bedroom during lockdown.
2016
The “lemon job"
The year of the “lemon job” when it became painfully clear I had to change how I was running my business.
I left my job as a design assistant to go out on my own. I was working long hours behind the scenes on HGTV sets like The Property Brothers while pregnant.
2014
I made the leap to go out on my own.
I was working out of a spare bedroom in my house. Budgets were a struggle, project details felt disorganized, and I was anxious pretty much all the time.
2015
I started taking on bigger projects.
Our designs were featured regularly in the press. I also started hosting Designer Meet-Ups at my local pub—creating space for designers to connect, share, and talk shop together.
2019
My first 7-figure year.
Over 1,000 designers have invested in my courses, and Resilient by Design has grown to more than 300 episodes!
2024-TODAY
I’m all in on coaching designers.
These were the years things really started to click. I invested in professional development, moved into a studio space, and built a full team managing design & decor projects of all sizes.
2017-2018
I developed my 7-step process.
