When it comes to interior design, CHAMPAGNE CLIENTS want a WOW EXPERIENCE – on time and under budget.
Â
As an interior designer, you may think high-end, champagne clients have all the time and money in the world for you to work your magic - but nothing could be further from the truth. Champagne clients actually have bigger expectations, higher standards, and stricter timelines.
Plus, if you want to scale your firm, you need to be incredibly efficient and treat your time like GOLD - running projects that produce significant profits and allow you to build your financial and personal freedom.
At the moment, your disorganized design process is making room for all kinds of shenanigans to take place:
- Clients who want to do parts of the furnishings or design themselves (or who push back on your selections by taking matters into their own hands)
- Clients who don’t pay on time - risking both your livelihood and the project itself
- Having sourcing and purchasing processes that put YOU at risk for liability, warranty management, & handling (This alone can ruin you financially.)
- Allowing builders and architects to push you around and mess with your project timelines
- Getting nitpicked on every step of your process, from your markups to your business practices. Getting delayed with materials delivery issues and poor coordination planning
- Clients adding additional scope of work beyond the original agreement without expecting any increase in design feeÂ
Should we go on?
This is only a small selection of issues that are tanking your project timelines, profitability, personal freedom, and self-confidence.

This is not your client’s fault. It’s not the builder’s fault. It’s your fault for not having your design workflow dialed in.
Lucky for you, this can all be easily fixed by implementing a PROVEN, SCALABLE, PROFITABLE, HIGHLY EFFICIENT design workflow.
And you’re going to get to walk through exactly how Traci does it - stealing her entire design process for free - during this 2-hour masterclass.
Want to add a profitable new revenue stream to your design business—like vacation rental design?
First, you need the right business workflow in place.
Â
Before you chase the next shiny thing (like VRD), you’ve got to build a rock-solid foundation. In this free 2-hour masterclass, Traci will walk you through the exact process she uses to run a high-end, $4M residential design firm with efficiency, ease, and profit. Then Traci and Jessica will show you how to use that same workflow to tap into a whole new income stream—vacation rental design (VRD)—without building a new business from scratch.
This is how you scale smart. Not start over.
So that’s exactly what Traci, with the help of Jessica, is going to cover in this free masterclass.Â
