Business Health Strategist For Interior Design Firms
Your Interior Design firm Doesn't Need More Advice
It needs the right diagnosis
Most design firm owners think they know what's holding them back - pricing, hiring, marketing. More often than not, they're treating symptoms, not the real problem.
In our one-on-one Business Diagnostic, we'll uncover the root constraint limiting your growth and build a clear path forward.

Why most design firms stay stuck
You've already tried to fix it.
You raised your rates. You hired the project manager. You cleaned up the proposal template, tightened the contract, pushed harder on marketing.
Some of it helped a little. None of it changed the fundamental problem.
Most design firm owners are solving the symptom they can see most clearly:
"I'm working constantly and the business is running me." So you look for systems.
"I'm busy, but the profit isn't there." So you look at pricing.
"I'm ready to grow, but I don't know what breaks first." So you look for a hiring plan.
Each of those is a reasonable response to a real problem. But they are all downstream. Underneath them, in almost every firm, is a single constraint - one part of the business throttling everything else. Until you find it, every fix you make gets absorbed by the thing you haven't found.
That's why more advice doesn't help. Advice assumes you already know what's wrong. A diagnosis finds out.

ABOUT Katie Decker-ERickson
Get To Know Your Business Strategist
She's been on both sides of this.
Before she diagnosed other design firms, she built and ran one — multimillion-dollar revenue, real team, real growing pains. She knows the difference between a symptom and the actual constraint, because she's had to find it in her own business first.
"I started with a cardboard box and paint chips. Literally" - Katie Decker Erickson

“I needed big picture thinking and am so thankful she provided that.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Katie as I built my business. I loved that Katie made me feel heard. She validated my thoughts and feelings towards ideas. I could send her ideas and talk through them to develop a process of implementation, or realize it’s not the right fit for my business. As a fellow entrepreneur/mom, I felt like she had my best interest at heart and I could connect with her. I have a hard time seeing the big picture and she helped guide me. She had me think about how I want to market myself, who I myself as,and where I want to go with my business. I needed big picture thinking and am so thankful she provided that. From building a brand to producing a logo, having a color scheme, and thinking about the growth of my business, Katie provided it all.”

Zoe Browne kind words
“The biggest surprise to me was actually how grounded Katie is and how she’s been very successful, but still very human and relatable and fun. She had the understanding of where I was coming from, right from the get go, and shared really good practical advice and support. The coaching has paid for itself already in so many ways, even from the insurance perspective, good connections, figuring out what to spend, what to prioritize financially, and what to just put on hold for a minute.”
"Clear, on-point advise and profit-building coaching in every session!"
"Katie is so insightful and understands the issues we all face - yet she has the ability to see a clear path forward. Clear, on-point advise and profit-building coaching in every session!"
