// about
Intterior Compass started as a consulting practice for interior design and adjacent industry founders.
Intterior Compass started as a consulting practice for interior design and adjacent industry founders — the ones doing beautiful work while quietly drowning in cash flow, hiring, and clients who disappear without warning. We didn't come from generic strategy consulting. We came from the client meetings, the vendor calls, the 11pm site-visit follow-ups. That's the difference: we recognise the pattern because we've lived it, not because we read it in a case study.
Today we work two ways: direct consulting with studios who want hands-on help, and a growing platform of tools and worksheets that put the same diagnostic thinking directly in your hands, on demand.
// what we do
Four ways we work with studios
We don't sell one package. We find out what's actually breaking, then bring in the right engagement.
02
02 — Sales & client systems
Turn client conversations into a repeatable system for asking questions, setting expectations, and closing.
- Discovery-call framework
- Objection & expectation scripts
- Follow-up sequences that don't feel pushy
03
03 — Team & process design
Build the checklists and workflows so your studio survives the one week you're unreachable.
- SOPs for your recurring project stages
- Role clarity for small teams
- Handoff systems between design and execution
04
04 — 1:1 founder coaching
Ongoing, direct support for founders making the jump from solo designer to business owner.
- Monthly working sessions
- Decision support on real, current problems
- Direct access between sessions
// how it works
A straightforward way in
Step 01
Free diagnostic
Start with a worksheet or a short call. No commitment, just a clearer look at where you stand.
Step 02
Pattern review
We walk through what your own data is already telling you — together.
Step 03
Engagement design
We recommend the smallest engagement that actually fixes the problem, not the biggest one.
Step 04
Working together
Audits, systems, coaching, or tools — whichever fits, delivered on a clear timeline.
// discovery call
Book a free Discovery Call
We select our clients. We only take on a handful of studios at a time, because the work is hands-on and we'd rather go deep with a few than shallow with many. Tell us a little about your business and we'll see if you qualify for our free discovery call.
// tools
Consulting, turning into software.
We're building the tools we used to do by hand into a proper platform — dashboards that show your studio's patterns in real time, and agents that do the analysis we used to do manually. Watch a quick demo of each below.

// the book
The book behind these worksheets.
Interior Compass isn't just a business book — it's a workbook for interior design founders who are excellent at design and exhausted by everything else. Every chapter takes one thing every founder has lived through — a client who ghosts, a “just one small change” that blows the timeline, a project that quietly bleeds money — and instead of handing over generic advice, hands over a worksheet built from your own numbers, your own clients, your own week. The idea isn't to teach anyone to be a better designer. It's to help them see the patterns already sitting inside their own business, the ones they're too busy running it to notice.

// testimonials
What studios say after working with us
"I finally understood why my clients kept disappearing after the quote. It wasn't the price."
"We built our first real process in six weeks. My team doesn't need me for everything anymore."
"This wasn't generic advice. It felt like someone who'd actually sat where I sit."
