Hi – I’m Michelle!
PRESIDENT OF ML INTERIORS GROUP & BUSINESS COACH FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
I know exactly what it’s like to feel overworked, overwhelmed, and underpaid as an interior designer.
A few years into my business, “overdeliver” was my middle name — and my business, bank account, and boundaries paid the price.
After yet another client meeting full of out-of-scope requests (and not having the cajones to say NO), I finally decided it was time to rewrite my story.
Pulling from almost two decades of managing multi-million-dollar businesses in Corporate America, I started treating my interior design business like an actual business.
And lo’ and behold — it worked.
With the right processes and systems, I took back my business, my self-worth, and my personal life.
Now? I get to run a thriving, 7-figure interior design business — without the 7-figure stress, overwhelm & responsibility.
AND YOU CAN, TOO.
