Build a Design Business That Supports Your Life
For Interior Designers
The McClain Method gives you a clear way to run the business side so your work can actually support you.
Most interior designers were never taught how to run a business.
You learned by doing, figuring things out as you went, and carrying more than you should have on your own.

read my story
I spent over 16 years building and running a multi-location interior design business, learning the hard lessons that don’t get taught in school or shared openly in the industry.
Today, I help designers strengthen the business side of their work so they can make confident decisions, charge appropriately, and build something that actually supports their lives.
