There's a calmer, more profitable interior design business waiting for you

Business guidance for established interior designers - without the overwhelm

You’re brilliant at the design work, but nobody ever taught you how to run the business side of things – so it’s easy to worry you might not be doing it right, and it’s all ended up feeling harder than it should.

That’s what I help you fix, calmly and strategically, so you can build a profitable business that lasts. Nervous system intact.

Sound familiar?

You’re marketing on every platform and still not seeing consistent work come in.

You know you’re a good designer, but running the business side still feels like winging it.

You believe your work is worth more than you’re currently charging.

You’ve had a project go sideways — a difficult client, a fee dispute, a contractor going rogue — and had no one to call who actually understands.

If you’re nodding, you’re in the right place.

The CALM method

The framework behind everything i do

CALM came out of fourteen years running my own studio, and years of mentoring designers through the same four sticking points: Clarity, Aligned Action, Limits and Mindset.

Calm isn’t the opposite of ambitious. It’s how you build a profitable business that lasts — without burning out in the process.

Ways to work with me.

You don’t need me to teach you how to design, but the business side? That’s the bit that keeps you up at night, and it’s exactly where I come in. Here are the main ways you can work with me. 

The CALM reset

My deepest look at your whole business.

Six sessions built around your business. After our first deep dive, I plan and design the rest of our time together around what you and your business need to be calm and profitable.

Sales Lab

Understand what’s bringing the clients in.

Stop wasting time on marketing that isn’t working, and discover the activity that’s generating money in your business. A self-guided online programme that finishes with a 1:1 strategy call with me.

Focused Sessions

Targeted help for one specific problem.

A Power Hour for something that’s been stuck too long. One hour, a plan by the end. Or gather a few designer friends with a shared issue for a Designer Clinic. Part coaching, part straight guidance.

The designers who thrive aren't the ones who hustle hardest. They're the ones who get clear on what they're actually building — and why.

What working with me changes

“It was such a joy talking to you today — it felt a bit like what I’d imagine therapy would be like! Business therapy…”

Emma Capron, Bean Interiors

“I’m walking away… feeling clearer, more empowered, and far better resourced for the journey ahead… [Lisa is] a coach who can hold both strategy and soul.”

Hello, I'm Lisa

good stuff happens when we work together.

I ran my own studio for fourteen years, so when you tell me what’s not working, I’m not guessing. I’ve been there.

There’s no single right way to run an interior design business.

My job is to help you build the version that fits you (your strengths, your life, the work that lights you up) and make sure it’s profitable while we’re at it.
