You were born to design.
Nobody taught you how to lead.
So you've been winging the rest: your clients, your team, your calendar.
I help designers learn to lead all three, so your business feels as good behind the scenes as it looks from the outside.

“All my designer friends would benefit from coaching with Jeannie.”
Coaching with Jeannie has dramatically changed the way I operate my design business. Prior to working together, I frequently undercharged for my services and avoided setting certain client expectations out of fear of being questioned or rejected, and it only left me frustrated and emotional about what I was asking for and what I desired. Working with Jeannie has brought me confidence in knowing the value I provide, the fees I charge, and has allowed me to communicate effectively when I onboard new clients and throughout the timeline of their project. When I used to fail to charge my worth, I am now landing my largest design clients to date and consistently attracting ideal ones. I’m thankful to have removed so much emotion from my decision-making, as this confidence has led me to elevating my business and serving my clients better than ever.

Meet Jeannie
I'm not a designer. That's exactly why this works.
Before I coached designers, I spent nine years at a Fortune 500 company.
I became a director at 26 and essentially ran a recruiting business inside it. A lot went into success there, but one thing mattered more than anything: bringing on the right people and making sure they understood their role. If that piece was off, nothing else worked.
I see the same thing in design businesses all the time. A client is one foot in, one foot out, and the designer is doing everything she can to get them two feet in. Most of the time, the signs were there in the very first conversation. Years of recruiting taught me to hear them early. Now I help designers hear them, too.
When my best friend, an interior designer, pushed me to start working with designers, my very first designer client more than tripled her revenue in just over a year. We didn't touch her design. We changed how she led herself and her clients.
Five years and 100+ designers later, I'll never pick out a single fabric for you. But I'll help you build a business that gives your best work room to breathe.
Because while ridin’ solo is admirable…
it’s a lonely way to run a business.
Here’s what changes when you begin to lead
-
01. Your Clients
Projects run on your timeline, not theirs. Clients respect your boundaries, your pricing, and your expertise, because you set the expectations from the very first conversation.
-
02. Your team
You hire because you're ready, not because you're drowning. And the person you bring on steps into a business that actually runs without you holding every piece of it.
-
03. Yourself
Design moves out of the margins and back into the center of your day. You trust your own decisions, and when you close the laptop, work stays closed, so your evenings belong to your family again.
Simply put
I'll help you learn the secrets to running an effective and profitable business, so you can finally own a business that’s actually sustainable.
Get excited, because you’ve now got a director of business strategy on your team.

Your inquiry form is losing you good clients.
Most designer inquiry forms collect names and email addresses. That's it.
They don't qualify, they don't filter, and they don't signal that you're the one leading this process.
This free template fixes that — before you ever pick up the phone.
“Jeannie has a gift to motivate designers to be their badass selves, and gives you the confidence to believe you and your business are worth the price.” Dominique B.
hate to play favorites, but…
interior designers are kinda my jam.
With the talent you intuitively possess (and that I certainly don’t) you deserve to be showing up IN and FOR your business without a shred of insecurity, and with my guidance, I’m excited for you to show yourself what's possible.
