The Interior Design Standard is a proven process for exactly how to grow a thriving interior design business.
I am handing over the exact model that I used in my firm. It took me many years in business, with a few tough lessons along the way to build a business that I love. It’s too much to keep to myself. So, I’m sharing it with our entire industry.
“I used the design fee calculator and landed a huge flat fee project! Thank you for sharing the Standard so that we can all elevate our businesses.” Kelly O’Neil, Kelly O’Neil Interior Design, LLC
“I took a business course as part of my design training but it only skimmed the surface. Before enrolling in the program, I felt unsure about my process. After implementing, I have a tried and true system to follow that I love and that my clients love. The Interior Design Standard has filled in so many gaps. I have a newfound confidence as a design entrepreneur.” Jane Nares, Jane Nares Designs
It’s my time-tested, tried and true templates for running a balanced, abundant and joyful design firm.
Client issues left me exhausted, stressed and less profitable than I’d hoped. There’s no reason that you should have to go through each of those situations. All my years in business = TONS of lessons learned. At one point, it felt like more trouble than it was worth.
The beauty of that ‘bottom’ was that it knocked me on my ass and forced me to take a long hard look at who I’ve become for the sake (or pleasure) of others.
I took a break from accepting new clients. I hired a great lawyer, a business strategist (focused on profit) and a business coach (focused on mindset). We think-tanked my entire business. The backbone of my comeback is a client-centric business model; always looking at the business from the client’s point of view. I was back and I was THRIVING.
I’ve templated the systems in my business to share with you so that you can THRIVE too.
“The Interiors Design Standard is everything I was looking for and so much more! I’m blown away by all of the “deliverables” in this program. Sandra has put it ALL out there and I can not wait to take my business to the next level with all that I’ve learned.” Deborah Lempert, Deborah Lempert Interiors
The Standard is jam-packed with tools, resources, editable templates and so much more. The content will guide you through the strategy and systems of running the interior design firm of your dreams.
“The details provided in the Standard are simply mind-blowing! I’ve always wondered how other design studios work. The Standard is like watching over another interior designer’s shoulder (a fabulous one at that).” Simone Aïda Baur, Global Inspirations Design
If your dream client called you tomorrow, are you ready? Is your business set up to give them the best possible experience? The Standard will prepare you to take on the big projects and see them through to completion beautifully.
After implementing the Standard, you’ll be able to approach your dream clients with newfound confidence and process, guaranteed to wow them and instill their trust in you. Many members find that the first clients they sign after implementing the Standard are their dream clients.
One of the best marketing tools is an excellent portfolio. That comes from completed design projects. And, that comes from a design process that leaves no stone left unturned. My step-by-step process to completing design projects is the crux of the Standard. We change the game. Complete rooms, down to art and accessories and excellent photography are a given, not a hope.

“I signed three full-service design clients this week! Thank you for teaching me ‘the way’ through the Standard!” Elana Mendelson, Elana Designs, LLC
Pre-recorded video and tons of downloadable resources and templates. I also host LIVE bonus executive sessions throughout to give members an opportunity to connect via video. The sessions are scheduled approximately once per month for 3 months after you enroll. A Zoom recording will be sent out if you are unavailable to attend.
“Sandra “speaks my language” – she’s relatable, quick and to the point, yet thorough enough for me to understand. I’ve been in other programs. This is the best one.” Taylor Johnson, Taylor Johnson Design
You will gain access to the Standard as soon as you enroll.
“Sandra’s clear, real-people-speak and content dives right to the heart of it all, outlining the most logical process I could have asked for (if I even knew the right questions to ask!).” Jennifer O’Brien, Jenn O’Brien Interiors
Designers have great success with the Standard. After all, efficiency equals profits. Not only does their business improve, but their lives improve too.
“The Standard has increased my profitability so much so that I’m going before a board review for a prime studio space on a corner lot in a gorgeous walking village. It never ever would have happened prior. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” MeLinda Kann, MK Design
A note from the Terms and Conditions: Nothing contained in the Program shall be construed as a warranty or guarantee on the part of the Company that any success or other specific results will be achieved by the Client. In addition, prior results, i.e. testimonials, do not predict future outcomes.
I share the software that I use, but it’s not required to use the same in order to have success with the Standard. I share best practices that are transferable across all platforms.
My step-by-step process is given to you through Asana.com. It’s a task management software. Designers have successfully exported the data into their own task management software with ease.
In terms of accounting, the Standard’s systems dovetail beautifully with whatever system you have set up. It’s so, so important to know and understand your numbers; though I do recommend working with a professionally trained accountant who knows their stuff.
“Thank you for all of your templates. We are really understanding how to utilize Asana. Invaluable!” Amy Krause, Amy Krause Design
Every process within the Interior Design Standard is woven together. The Standard is my business model, my process and my structure. It wouldn’t work to only implement bits and pieces, as it is all threaded together.
“At first, I jumped right into the Standard’s pricing module, but that was a huge mistake (for me, at least) because I still didn’t have the confidence to back it up. So I took a deep breath, and decided right then and there to follow the Standard to a “T”. Once I had the foundation of understanding why it all works together, I was flying – soaring – making money and no longer stressing about the little things.” MeLinda Kann, MeLinda K Design
The Standard is all about executing the process of interior design efficiently and from a client-centric point of view. It doesn’t get into local codes or regulations. I’ve worked with designers across the US and around the world, and you can see examples of their success below. In all cases, you’ll have access to soft copies to make your own and to review with your local law professional.
“Our industry gives us the chance to design all around the world even from the other side of the globe. Borders cannot be your limits when investing into yourself. Enrolling in the Standard made me reach new heights as a professional and as a person. The Standard covers many of the Interior Design business aspects, some of which are directly applicable anywhere you live. As for some others, you may need more research to adapt it to your own environment which might cost more effort, but the result is worth it.” Céline Joudrier, LACELLA Interior Architecture [NETHERLANDS]
“I was a little nervous about enrolling in the Standard, primarily due to the cost but also because I wasn’t sure if many of the processes and procedures could be implemented in Europe. I’m delighted to say I was wrong. I had to amend spreadsheets to reflect the Euro currency and metric measurements but I expected that. The system is completely doable for me.” Karen Hughes, Emerald Interior Design [IRELAND]

“Sandra “speaks my language” – she’s relatable, quick and to the point, yet thorough enough for me to understand. I’ve been in other programs. This is the best one.” Taylor Johnson, Taylor Johnson Design
You will gain access to the Standard as soon as you enroll.
“Sandra’s clear, real-people-speak and content dives right to the heart of it all, outlining the most logical process I could have asked for (if I even knew the right questions to ask!).” Jennifer O’Brien, Jenn O’Brien Interiors
Designers have great success with the Standard. After all, efficiency equals profits. Not only does their business improve, but their lives improve too.
“The Standard has increased my profitability so much so that I’m going before a board review for a prime studio space on a corner lot in a gorgeous walking village. It never ever would have happened prior. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.” MeLinda Kann, MK Design

I share the software that I use, but it’s not required to use the same in order to have success with the Standard. I share best practices that are transferable across all platforms.
My step-by-step process is given to you through Asana.com. It’s a task management software. Designers have successfully exported the data into their own task management software with ease.
In terms of accounting, the Standard’s systems dovetail beautifully with whatever system you have set up. It’s so, so important to know and understand your numbers; though I do recommend working with a professionally trained accountant who knows their stuff.
“Thank you for all of your templates. We are really understanding how to utilize Asana. Invaluable!” Amy Krause, Amy Krause Design
Every process within the Interior Design Standard is woven together. The Standard is my business model, my process and my structure. It wouldn’t work to only implement bits and pieces, as it is all threaded together.
“At first, I jumped right into the Standard’s pricing module, but that was a huge mistake (for me, at least) because I still didn’t have the confidence to back it up. So I took a deep breath, and decided right then and there to follow the Standard to a “T”. Once I had the foundation of understanding why it all works together, I was flying – soaring – making money and no longer stressing about the little things.” MeLinda Kann, MeLinda K Design
The Standard is all about executing the process of interior design efficiently and from a client-centric point of view. It doesn’t get into local codes or regulations. I’ve worked with designers across the US and around the world, and you can see examples of their success below. In all cases, you’ll have access to soft copies to make your own and to review with your local law professional.
“Our industry gives us the chance to design all around the world even from the other side of the globe. Borders cannot be your limits when investing into yourself. Enrolling in the Standard made me reach new heights as a professional and as a person. The Standard covers many of the Interior Design business aspects, some of which are directly applicable anywhere you live. As for some others, you may need more research to adapt it to your own environment which might cost more effort, but the result is worth it.” Céline Joudrier, LACELLA Interior Architecture [NETHERLANDS]
“I was a little nervous about enrolling in the Standard, primarily due to the cost but also because I wasn’t sure if many of the processes and procedures could be implemented in Europe. I’m delighted to say I was wrong. I had to amend spreadsheets to reflect the Euro currency and metric measurements but I expected that. The system is completely doable for me.” Karen Hughes, Emerald Interior Design [IRELAND]
