As an interior designer, you pour passion, creativity, and dedication into your business every single day. But what happens when the market slows, projects stall, or uncertainty creeps in? It’s not about if—it’s about when. But here's the good news: you don’t have to panic. You can proactively prepare.

In the latest episode of Success by Design, host Katie Decker-Erickson dives deep into actionable strategies specifically crafted for interior design professionals facing a slowdown.

Discover:

  • The critical financial checkpoints you should be reviewing weekly (yes, weekly!) to stay ahead.

  • How nurturing client and vendor relationships right now can transform slow periods into opportunities.

  • Proven techniques to clearly differentiate your design business from competitors and become the go-to expert.

  • Why increasing your marketing visibility during uncertain times is a game changer, backed by research from industry leaders.

  • The hidden power of streamlining processes, and why this "unsexy" task can dramatically boost resilience and profitability.

Filled with real-life examples, expert insights, and actionable steps you can start applying immediately, this episode is a must-listen for any interior designer committed to thriving, not just surviving, during a market slowdown.

Your business should be working for you—not the other way around.

I'm your host, Katie Erickson

I’m a commercial exterior and interior designer with an MBA and nearly 20 years in the industry. When I’m not leading my coast-to-coast, multi-million dollar firm, I love sharing real talk on the business of design, blending insights from 20 years as a business professor. I keep it honest—balancing work and chasing my two girls around.
