I know. Seventy-thousand followers sounds sexy but you'll have to operate like a full-time media company to keep them entertained and that won't guarantee they'll turn into paid clients. Besides, are you sure that your dream clients are even on Instagram?
Or have you given up on dream clients? Because you're stuck or you can't put your finger on what's missing. Even if you have figured out what your problems are, do you know the solutions to solve them in the least amount of time?
Deep down though, I'll bet you're tired of waiting for the kinds of jobs, recognition, and income that make other design firms successful. You know you deserve them. Being a designer is what you were born to do.
(Hint: It's not Instagram or SEO!)
Get clarity on what isn’t working and why. Market to and close high-end clients. Rewire the limited thinking that is keeping you stuck and getting in the way of you being paid top dollar for doing your best creative work.

The difference between unknowns, design leaders and legends is a factor of visibility. But being visible is about more than being seen, one of its underused definitions is available.
"I love how this isn't your standard approach to business and fits with my work style and personal beliefs. I genuinely get excited for each new session!"
- Lauren Graback
"I am loving the deep dive. It does feel like an intensive and I am doing all I can to keep up. I like the combination of the emotional with the practical. It seems to work well for me."
- Catherine Brophy
we've got some a's for your q's
First of all, thank you for your business! I am so grateful for repeat clients that are a fit. As for Smartcuts, if we’ve worked together two or more years ago, and you're self-motivated, this is an amazing way to revisit the principles of how I work.
If you're a business owner who is earning over $250K in revenue, have been in business for five or more years and need accountability, a 1-to-1 program is a better fit. Let’s set up a time to talk.
If you are in transition, bored or feeling like something is missing, then the timing for this is now. Remember, part of the work we do is making space and that means saying “yes” to a whole way of being now.
Practically, you will need approximately 1 hour per week which may feel impossible if you’re already busy, but time is a currency and seeing yourself and your vision on your calendar is an investment worth making.
This is tricky I know, especially when you’ve committed to grow financially with another person and, for those of you with kids, to take care of your family. Know this, the improvements you make in your sales, marketing and mindset are designed to directly impact your bottom line and that will help you take care of your family better. This is also about you trusting your own judgment when it comes to your creativity. If you’re not used to taking care of yourself at the same level you take care of everyone else, it’s time.
In my work with interior designers, I've discovered that some were actually fine artists first. They went into interior design because it was the only way they thought they could make money. If you’re toggling both worlds, this program can help you to find clarity about what it is that you truly want to do.
DEFINITELY! As long as you have a computer, a telephone and an internet connection, you’re good to go.
I love beautiful and surprising products and one aspect of my business is helping the people who make them improve their communication to find their audience. It helps that I spent two seasons covering KBIS for HGTV.com (over 100 episodes) and have experienced first-hand what works and doesn’t work marketing products. The sessions in this program can easily be applied to a product-based business, especially if you are interested in marketing them to the trade. Not to mention the fact that you’ll be among an audience of interior designers. What better way to test market the brand you’re building and/or find potential customers, collaborators and brand ambassadors.
Yes! Qualified teams can take advantage of a group rate for participation. Send us a note with the name of your firm, a link to your website, and the number of employees you would like to participate. We will set up a time to discuss program details with you.
The best answer I can give is that if you haven’t worked with me before then it would be impossible for you to compare the results of this program with any other. When you make a decision to take your business to the next level using the tools I offer, you are one step closer to seeing yourself and your vision realized. If you don't know what you want, this course will help you define it.
