Design From Scratch is more than a course—it’s the beginning of your next chapter. Created for aspiring interior designers without a formal degree, this guided experience gives you the skills, insight, and confidence to step into the industry with purpose. You’ll learn directly from working designers, gain feedback rooted in today’s trends and client expectations, and develop the practical know-how to work with real people—not just create pretty spaces. If you’ve been waiting for permission to pursue your passion—this is it.
built for more leads today ... and momentum for tomorrow
If you run an interior design business, you need leads—period. Not someday. Not after the algorithm decides to be kind. The Lead Lab gives you monthly marketing strategies and visibility tools that get you noticed now and build momentum over time. No fluff, no guesswork—just more of the right clients knocking on your (virtual) door.
Pulled straight from the Interior Design Business Bakery, this self-paced course is perfect for designers who aren’t quite ready to jump into the full program—but still want to stop spinning their wheels. Inside, you’ll find the foundational systems and essential processes you need to bring order to the chaos and start running your business with clarity and confidence. No community. No coaching. Just the tools to get your business out of your head and into action. It’s a smart first step—and the perfect prep—for eventually baking up even bigger success inside the full Bakery.
You didn’t start your design business to feel overwhelmed, underpaid, or uncertain. The Interior Design Business Bakery is where that changes. This isn’t just a program — it’s a turning point. With the right recipe of strategy, structure, and support, you’ll go from spinning your wheels to stepping into the confident CEO your business has been waiting for. And you won’t be doing it alone — inside the Bakery, you’re surrounded by a community of driven, like-minded designers who get it, cheer you on, and rise alongside you. You bring the vision — we’ll help you build the business that rises to meet it.
You’ve got big goals and way too many tabs open — mentally and on your desktop. Whether you're reworking your pricing, rethinking your services, or rebuilding the business to match the CEO you’ve become, this is where we roll up our sleeves and do it together.
Whether you need a Power Hour, a bundle of sessions, or ongoing support, this is where we focus on your business and what it needs most.
You’ll get no fluff - just real, actionable guidance from someone who’s built a design firm (and coaching business) that actually works. It’s semi-custom, high-impact, and designed to move you forward with clarity and confidence.
"Michelle’s 1:1 coaching is like plugging your business straight into a generator. Come prepared with your questions and a notebook, because once you give her the lay of the land, she dives in and doesn’t stop. For the entire call, she was a powerhouse of strategy, insight, and practical direction, coming at my business challenges from multiple angles with seasoned clarity.
In a market that feels uncertain and heavy, Michelle handed me at least 20 actionable ideas I could implement immediately. She’s sharp, intuitive, generous with her wisdom, and deeply invested in you and your business. If you're feeling stuck or need direction, this is the partner you want in your corner."

Even the most talented designers hesitate before investing in their business. You’re not alone - and you’re not wrong to ask questions. Let’s "bake" through the biggest objections together:
“I’m not ready yet.”
Maybe you think you need more clients, more confidence, or more chaos before you can justify business coaching.
Truth: You don’t need to be ready for growth — you need to be ready for clarity.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to stop guessing and start building a business that runs with intention instead of reaction.
“It’s a big investment.”
It is — because it’s meant to pay you back.
If you’ve been pricing by gut, running on fumes, or reinventing the wheel for every client, that “investment” is really a shortcut to time, clarity, and confidence — and ultimately, a more profitable design business.
This isn’t an expense; it’s a multiplier.
“I’ve taken other courses that didn’t work.”
You’ve bought the templates, watched the webinars,
and still feel stuck.
Here’s the difference: we don’t just hand you more information, we give you the implementation framework
and accountability that make it stick.
No fluff. No filler. Just results that last because they’re actually built into how you do business.
“I don’t have time right now.”
Exactly.
If your plate is too full to improve your business, that’s your red flag.
You don’t need more hours in the day - you need better systems, stronger boundaries, and support that helps you work smarter, not just harder.
That’s what this is about: reclaiming your time and your creativity.
“What if I can’t keep up?”
If you’ve ever bought a course and ghosted it halfway through, you’re not lazy - you just didn’t have the right structure or support.
We make growth feel doable. Bite-sized steps, clear direction, and the kind of accountability that keeps you moving forward without overwhelm.
You’re not signing up for another thing to juggle. You’re saying yes to finally having a rhythm that works.
THE BOTTOM LINE
You’ve built a beautiful creative skillset.
Now it’s time to build the business that supports it - one step, one system, and one sustainable strategy at a time.
Different paths. Same destination: a business that loves you back.
The Bakery provided the essential tools to structure my business effectively and run it profitably, which has saved me years of amateur trial and error..
The Bakery gave me something I could never develop on my own - structure. The ability to truly run a business. I’m operating with more confidence than ever.
Being a Baker has been a complete game changer. It's such freedom to have processes and systems in place that reflects the confidence you have to clients!
