Weekly Newsletter Jan. 2 '26 - New Year, New Energy, and a Fresh Start for Designers!
Hi there, designer 👋
Let’s be honest…
2025 was a lot...
It stretched us, tested us, and left most of us running on fumes by December.
But here we are — 2026!
A clean slate. A new beginning. And honestly? I’ve never been so ready to close the door on the chaos and focus on growth, calm, and clarity.
If last year was about survival, this one’s about thriving.
So cheers to you, my fellow designers — may 2026 bring dream clients, smoother processes, and plenty of projects with no budgets in sight!🤭
A Fresh Start
Over the holidays, I spent time reflecting on what really made a difference for me last year.
And it wasn’t luck or timing — it was structure.
Systems. Processes. Confidence in how I run my business behind the scenes.
Because when you have structure, you can handle anything — whether it’s a last-minute client request or life simply… lifing.
And that clarity is exactly what I want for you this year.
Introducing Furnish & Flourish 💛
To kick off 2026, I finally get to share something I’ve been quietly building for months..
Furnish & Flourish is my brand-new three-volume eBook collection for interior designers who are ready to:
✅ Source confidently from vetted to-the-trade vendors
✅ Price their work profitably
✅ Streamline their entire sourcing process
It’s not just a list — it’s the system I used to completely transform my business and land my highest-earning project ever ($156K on a single design!).
These are the tools and trade secrets that will help you design beautifully and get paid what you’re worth — without the overwhelm, confusion, or retail markups that eat into your margins.
Ready to Start the Year Strong?
Let’s make this your most profitable, aligned, and confident year in business yet.
You’ve got the talent — now it’s time to back it up with systems that actually support your creativity.
Here’s to clean slates, full client calendars, and creative energy that flows all year long.
