Designer By Your Side Contract

What’s Included:

Not only will you receive a detailed contract and walkthrough video with each purchased document, but I’ve also included a Services Outline that provides a clear outline of each interior design service offering! More on that in a minute, but first, here is what’s covered:

  • A list of interior design services you provide
  • Fees/Payment
  • Procurement and Warehousing
  • Installation
  • Communication
  • Intellectual Property
  • Third-Party Service Providers
  • Warranty
  • Acts of God
  • Termination
  • Publication
  • Signing section

Added Bonus: Services Outline Presentation

The additional bonus of my fully customizable templates will make it simple for you to explain the value of each interior design service you offer. This slide template is perfect to either send to a client after a discovery call and/or to print for your consultation binder to easily reference as needed. The slide template includes:

  • Brief service outline and benefits to your client
  • A detailed list of specific services you provide
  • Estimated timelines for the project
  • Approximate investment amount
  • Getting started and next steps
  • And more depending on the specific service

Plus, a Walkthrough Video!

With each purchase, you will also get access to a video walkthrough. The first 20 minutes includes:

  • The difference between a “Letter of Agreement” and a “Contract”
  • A brief description of each service offering
  • Why you need a contract
  • When to review the contract with clients and tips on how to use the Services Outline Presentation templates

In the second part of the walkthrough video, I do a brief overview of the Services Outline and highlight areas of the contract that you need to edit to include your own information. You will be able to tailor the documents to your specific business model terms and fees.

Our contracts are priced at $197 each. When you get the Contract Template Bundle, you save over $150!

While these documents are a fantastic resource for defining which services to offer to  your clients, as well as providing a solid foundation for creating a contract that works for the way you run your business, it’s imperative all legal documents be reviewed by your own lawyer prior to use.  The information provided on this website does not, and is not intended to, constitute legal advice

1-on-1 Coaching Call

If any of this sounds familiar, you are not alone…

There are gaps in your business, but you’re not sure how to fix them or what to tackle first. 

You’ve been piecing things together as you go, carrying too much (both in business and your personal life)

The money you’re making is not matching the effort you’re putting in.

And now, you are in this season of life that has got you thinking about what you want for your future self, but how to redesign for what’s next is unclear.  

You deserve better, and we can do it together.

Examples of how you might be feeling and different scenarios you are battling:

  • Your consultation process isn’t converting as well as it should.
  • You’re constantly dealing with scope creep or weak client boundaries.
  • Your services, pricing, or invoicing structure feel unclear or inconsistent.
  • You are always busy, with little time left for yourself to enjoy what you’ve built.
  • You dread sending invoices and often bill too little for fear of client pushback.
  • You want better systems to run your business more efficiently.

Our 1-on-1 strategy session will help you get out of the weeds and provide clarity around the best next steps so you can start enjoying your business again.

I’ll guide you to making it work better for where you are now and where you want to go.

We’ll focus on one key business challenge, clarify what’s not working, and map out practical next steps so you can move forward with more confidence.

You’ll leave with:

  • Clarity on the issue that’s keeping you stuck
  • Real-time coaching, feedback, and recommendations
  • A more confident path forward
  • Clear next steps so you know what to do immediately following our call

This session is personalized to you, your business, and what you need most right now.

Here’s how it works:

Step 1:

Book your 90-minute Zoom coaching session. 

Step 2:

Complete a pre-session form so I can understand your biggest challenges in advance and come prepared to support you.

Step 3:

We meet for a focused, high-value strategy session where you’ll get real-time coaching, feedback, and recommendations tailored to your business.

Step 4:

Your call is recorded, and I’ll follow up afterward with the replay link along with any resources or information I promised to send during our meeting.

Why work with me?

With more than 15 years of experience running a thriving, award-winning, interior design business, I understand the nuances and multitude of challenges that come from creating something special in this complex industry.

I don’t offer generic business advice. Everything I share with you is based on my own experiences as a successful, female business owner. Sometimes, I may tell you things you don’t want to hear because I can’t help but speak the truth. 

I walk the talk and am here to help you make stronger decisions, create smarter systems, and build a business that works for you. 

I believe there is more than one path to the top of the mountain, and I’m excited to be your guide as you find the path that makes the most sense for you. A path that is going to support the kind of business so many designers strive for but rarely attain: fewer projects, better clients, more money.

Seeking deeper support and accountability? 

For interior designers who want extended guidance and deeper support, I also offer my Accountability & Clarity Coaching. 

Similar to your interior design client who starts with an initial consultation before moving into a larger service, the best place to begin is with a one-off 90-minute session so we can determine what you require most first, and identify a solid plan moving forward from there with weekly meetings. 

FAQ’s

Q: Is this session right for me if I’m still building my business?

Yes. Whether you’re newer in business or more established, this session is ideal if you want expert guidance on at least one specific area and are ready to take action. 

Q: Can we talk about my current rates and service structure, and could you show me how you price an interior design project?

Absolutely. One of the tools I find most helpful during a coaching session is pulling back the curtain on one of my own interior design projects. I never shy away from being completely open with you about how I bill for my services, showing you my actual design deliverables, and revealing costs that include my profit margins. Designers are often amazed at how open I am, telling me how helpful it is to see how I work with clients and collaborate with my trades on real projects.  

Q: Can I use my session to discuss a current client conflict or review an upcoming interior design proposal I’m putting together?

A: Yes, 100%. Getting professional advice and a second pair of eyes (or ears!) on real-time design struggles or concerns is definitely one of the biggest benefits of working with me. Knowing you are not alone, feeling so comfortable and super confident to move forward in a client relationship with a solid strategy that includes specific solutions/answers to any objections is a wonderful feeling!  I can help with all of that.

Q: Will I receive anything after the call?

Yes. Every session is recorded, and you’ll receive a replay link along with any resources or follow-up information I promised during our call.

Q: What if I need more support afterward?

If it feels like you’d benefit from continued guidance and accountability, I can invite you to learn more about my Accountability Coaching program after we complete our first session together.

Q: How do I prepare for the session?

Once you book a coaching call, you’ll receive a pre-session questionnaire to help me better understand your business and your biggest, current challenges. We kindly request that you complete the questionnaire prior to our meeting, so that I can be best prepared for our time together. I also like to take a brief look at your website, as well as any social media platforms you are on.
