“I just booked my biggest budget client today! Over $100,000! I wouldn't have felt confident taking this project on without the Bakery.”

Your designs are beautiful but...
You’re struggling to make money
I get it. You have no clear direction in this industry and it's important that you make this a profitable business for you and your family.
Don't worry, babe. I’ll show exactly how I have grown my successful 7-figure interior design business. Over 10 years of strategy handed to you. It's my personal "recipe" for a successful interior design business. And it's all yours.
Figuring out how to run an interior design business is hard!
When I was just getting started, other designers wouldn’t share their business insights to help me grow, so I built much of my business on trial and error (and a lot of wine).
I took any client who came my way, and too many were a nightmare.
Nit-picking every detail, shopping around for cheaper furniture, and texting at all hours of the night. They'd ask for free advice before signing their contract, try to take control of project timelines, and the worst part... try to negotiate my already low fees.
I also had no idea how to properly charge for my services or run a design project efficiently.
Which led to endless revisions and wasted time, redoing work for free that was already done well, leaking money everywhere. I was constantly overwhelmed. Plus, working a lot while getting paid very little. Not only was I exhausted but I was secretly ashamed and unclear of what to do.
Imagine trying to bake a cake without a recipe.
You kind of know what the ingredients are but you don’t know how to put it all together. After lots of hard work, all you’re left with is a sticky situation and a stomach ache.
This program teaches you how to bake your interior design business-cake and eat it too!
Here are the ingredients for a profitable design business:
01
Attracting high quality clients
... who see the value in paying a premium to work with you (& respect your boundaries)
02
Charging Premium Design Fees
Not including the profits you should be pocketing from selling furniture, procurement, and installation
03
Running Streamlined Projects
... while catering to your client’s needs and keeps you fully in charge (while you manage a million details!)
And here's the good news...
This is what I do. I help new designers streamline their businesses in order to streamline their life. I save my clients time, energy, and money.
No need to create it all from scratch, Babe!
The Interior Design Business Bakery™ will help you master all three.

“Michelle taught me to navigate the rough spots of business. I'm much happier managing my day-to-day and my profits have doubled!”
Brigitte Hook
Luxury Boutique Interior Designer Firm | Dallas, TX
Hi, I’m Michelle!
I’m the owner of the 7-figure interior design firm ML Interiors Group and a trusted advisor to small business owners in interior design.
When I started my firm, it took me a while to figure out how to run an interior design business profitably - without running myself into the ground.
Once I figured out the secret sauce — simple, elegant business processes for doing great work and making great money — I knew I had to share it with other designers to help them step into their power.
With me by your side, you’ll have clear steps of what and how you need to build a beautiful, profitable design business you love — one that will love you back!
Michelle has the business chops to coach you to profitability and get your business in tip top shape!
Enroll NowBefore I became an interior designer, I managed multi-million dollar businesses in Corporate America and learned what worked and what didn’t. (Luckily, I was using other people’s money back then! Haha!)
In 2008, I started my biz, bought a house, got married to #thehandsomehubs (aka Brian), and the market crashed. It was a busy year. Not to mention, I was still working a full-time job!
I run a 7-figure interior design firm to this day. My team and I are in the trenches, so everything I share with you in this mentorship program is up-to-date and currently working well for us. As we change things at ML Interiors Group, I’ll change them for you.
I’ve been featured in Forbes, Modern Luxury, Luxe Texasliving, Dallas Morning News, This Old House, DHome Magazine, the Dallas Morning News, and more.
I have been an expert speaker at the Interior Design Society (IDS) National Conference, Design Biz Retreat, IDS, and ASID chapters.Â
I am currently the IDSÂ Dallas Fort Worth Chapter VP.
I’m a toddler mom at 50+ years old and am not just surviving but thriving!Â
As seen in
Let's make your brand the Mercedes Benz of the design world, so you can...
Command premium fees and attract higher quality clients
Lots of designers struggle to get their business off the ground because they’re not charging enough. One of the first things I teach my designers is how to charge premium prices and provide the experience to justify it.
Your brand can either be a Mazda or a Mercedes. Both will get you from Point A to Point B but one gets you there in comfort and style.
If you want to be able to charge high-end fees, it starts with knowing you’ve got the talent and drive to be an amazing designer… but it ends with believing you can grow your business to great heights — and that starts with building a rich mindset.
Having the right "ingredients", a mentor who has successfully forged the path - and a group of like-minded, supportive women surrounding you is just the beginning. This program is not an expense - it is an investment that will more than pay for itself with your first one or two projects when you implement what I'll show you.
Believing in yourself enough to invest in your success is just one of many mindset lessons you’ll learn inside Interior Design Business Bakery™.
Take the first step.
