Executive LEADERSHIP ADVISORY

Tailored to your firm and your priorities, this work creates dedicated space to step away from daily demands and lead with greater clarity and direction.

Through structured partnership, we refine long-term vision, address the issues most affecting performance, and develop thoughtful plans to strengthen profitability, operations, and leadership.  With experienced perspective and steady accountability, your firm evolves with intention.

Two levels of engagement are available, offering varying depth of partnership depending on your firm’s needs and stage of growth.

The result is a design firm that runs smoothly, performs profitably— and a business that supports both your professional ambitions and your life beyond the studio.

Engagements are limited to ensure dedicated attention.


FOCUSED StrategY SESSION

  • An exceptional client experience is intentional.

    This service focuses on creating a thoughtful, repeatable process that delivers the details clients remember—seamless communication, unexpected touches, and moments that go above and beyond.

  • This session defines where your firm is headed in the coming year —and the financial plan to get you there.

    We clarify your goals and build a practical roadmap to support them. A custom planning workbook is prepared in advance, and our time centers on upcoming projects, team structure, expenses, and planned investments—so you leave with a clear plan and measurable next steps.

  • A well-structured client agreement sets the tone for a professional, well-managed project.

    This service delivers a tailored agreement aligned with your design process, fee structure, and procurement model—creating consistency, clarity, and protection in every engagement.

    For firms seeking an in-house solution, a curated collection of contract templates is also available. 

  • Your pricing structure plays a critical role in how your firm is perceived.

    Sophisticated clients invest in expertise and outcomes—not hours or line items. We review your current pricing model and guide you in refining both structure and messaging so your fees clearly communicate the value of your services.

  • Every project is unique. 

    After reviewing the details of the engagement, we clearly define the client project scope, establish the appropriate design fee, and develop a preliminary product budget.

    This service may also include updating your existing client agreement to reflect project-specific terms, pricing, and billing structure.

  • As your design firm grows, your team structure must evolve with it.

    Together, we design a team structure aligned with your operational demands and financial goals. This may include staffing plans, compensation guidance, refined role definitions, and leadership support through performance challenges or organizational change.

    For a comprehensive approach, this service can be paired with Design Process Mapping to ensure roles and workflow are fully aligned.

  • Mapping your design process—from initial inquiry through project completion—reveals how your firm truly operates.

    This service clarifies each phase of the client journey, identifies opportunities to enhance the client experience, and streamlines workflows and responsibilities—so your business runs with greater structure, consistency, and ease.

  • Clear understanding of your financial performance leads to stronger decisions and greater confidence.

    We analyze your financial statements—focusing on key metrics, identifying trends, and strengthening your ability to interpret the numbers that guide your business.

For interior designers who prefer to concentrate on one high-impact priority at a time.

This private outcome-based engagement centers on a key initiative within your firm —creating the opportunity to step back from day-to-day responsibilities, think strategically, and determine a decisive path forward.
