You have an “eye for design” but…
You're struggling to make a full-time income doing what you LOVE.
I completely understand... this entire business venture can feel quite overwhelming, and sometimes, it's tough to find a clear direction (with a touch of that nagging "Am I really good enough?" imposter syndrome).
Your Instagram feed might be filled with conflicting advice. Should you be posting on social media five times a week? What about writing blog posts tailored for Pinterest... or perhaps incorporating a dance routine on Tik-Tok while holding paint swatches just to keep up with the latest trends?
No need to fret... I'll guide you through precisely how I've nurtured my thriving 6-Figure Residential Interior Design Business. Five years of strategic expertise, neatly packaged and handed over to you. It's my personal "Blueprint" for a flourishing residential interior design business... and all of it can be yours.
This is your sign ♥
Prepare yourself for a clear and simple blueprint that will turn your love for interior design into a prosperous part-time venture, bringing in a 6-figure income.
The thrilling part is that this blueprint is effective, regardless of your current level of experience or the competitive landscape in the market!
This course is crafted to guide you from being a scattered, anxious, aspiring interior designer to a distinguished professional whose confidence in her craft captivates others.
Even if you're not presently collaborating with clients, you'll soon discover them eagerly seeking your interior design expertise, irrespective of your pricing or level of experience.
You wanted to be creative & design beautiful spaces - NOT end up hustling, feeling overworked!
Turns out, navigating the intricacies of running a profitable residential interior design business is quite a challenge!
When I initially embarked on this journey, I was clueless... the 1.5 years of college I had completed didn't equip me for this. I made numerous mistakes and gained invaluable lessons along the way (there might have been a weekly bathtub cry session).
I accepted any client who crossed my path, and unfortunately, most were quite challenging. They lacked trust, always sought budget-friendly options, and had no concept of personal boundaries. Constant calls, demands for free advice, attempts at controlling every detail, and haggling over prices became the norm.
Determining how to price my work or efficiently manage projects proved to be a struggle. This resulted in excessive work, time wasted, redoing things that were already well-done, and financial losses.
Uncertainty loomed over when the next client would come, earnings were minimal, and I started questioning if I was cut out for running my own business.
THIS BLUEPRINT PROGRAM GUIDES YOU STEP-BY-STEP TO BUILD YOUR PROFITABLE INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS
Imagine trying to build a house without a blueprint.
You might have bricks, wood, cement and all the tools you need, but you're missing the crucial blueprint that shows you how to put them together.
As time goes on, frustration and anxiety sets in. You've invested months of effort, and your construction site is a hot mess. You have a structure that's far from the dream house you envisioned, and you've wasted so much money in the process.
In the end, without a proper blueprint, your construction project becomes a source of stress and disappointment. The result is a house that's not what you wanted, and you're left wishing you had started with a blueprint to guide you from the very beginning.
Here is the Blueprint for a Profitable Interior Design Business:
AND NOW, THE BEST PART…
This is what I do.
I help new and struggling designers organize their business in order to improve their life. I save you time, energy and help you make more money doing what you love.
This means you don't have to start from zero!
The Profitable Designer Blueprint will help you get the hang of all three.
"I can attest that being part of Emilee's program will have an ENORMOUS impact on your business development! I wouldn't have a business without them."

Hi, I’m Emilee!
For the last 5 years, I've been the proud owner of my own 6-figure design business: Winland Designs. My journey was not straightforward, but it taught me a lot.
Starting my own design business was a bit of a rollercoaster ride. I had to learn from scratch how to run an interior design business without burning myself out.
With my help, you’ll have a step-by-step blueprint to follow. You will know what to do and how to build a profitable residential design business that you love with the financial and creative freedom you have always dreamt about.
Before I started my design business, I worked for a small, struggling, boutique, design firm and I learned more about what not to do rather than what to do.
In 2017 I was studying interior design at the Art Institute and working a part time job as a design assistant. Halfway through my degree, my school shut down and my credits wouldn’t transfer. Soon after that I was fired from my design assistant job.
I Practice What I Preach…
I’m not a professor reading from an outdated book. I’m giving you the exact, step-by-step processes that I use in my business daily.
I had always wanted to be my own boss and have creative freedom on my projects, but I definitely wasn’t planning on starting my business just yet.
I took the leap and started with zero business experience, very few connections in town and a whole lot of imposter syndrome about my design skills. I was going to do this design thing and I was going to do it MY WAY.
Now I run a 6-figure residential interior design business. I don’t have any employees, I don’t have office space (I work from home), I don’t have a materials library or a showroom. I work a "lifestyle" business - I work when I want, choose projects I want, for how much money I want (if I work past 2pm on a typical day I’m a little pissy).
I built my business to fulfill a lifestyle that I desired. I don’t believe in that whole HUSTLE culture and I don’t ever want to have a huge team of interior designers working for me. I’m an introvert by nature and I refuse to go to networking events (yuck).
My minimum design fee per room is $5,000 and my average profit per project is $30,000 (just so you know- I started off at $50/hr and barely made $1,000 per project). My talent didn't increase- my business systems and processes did.
I’m an avid sourdough bread baker, organic gardener, and I travel the world with my husband every couple of months- all while running a profitable residential interior design business.
AS SEEN ON
Let's transform your design business and your limiting beliefs so you can...
Earn premium design fees and attract quality projects.
Many designers struggle to make a decent living because they’re not charging enough. One of the first things I teach my design students is how to charge premium prices and how to sell yourself without really "selling".
If you want to be able to charge premium fees, it starts by knowing you have an Eye-for-Design. Not everyone has this talent, so If you do… be proud and confident about it. Either you have that Eye or you don’t. I believe it is something you are born with.
Having the right “blueprint” to follow and a mentor who can show you the already paved road to success is not an expense like your Netflix bill… it is an investment that will more than pay for itself with your first project when you implement what I’ll show you.
Believing in yourself and knowing you have that Eye-For-Design is crucial to your success. Take the first Step... Enroll now!

It pisses me off when I see other women in the design industry putting down and discouraging aspiring or struggling designers because they don’t have a degree or some accreditation for an organization or even a lack of experience…
There are so many successful residential interior designers who were in your exact same shoes at one point in their career… I’m included in that group of women.
This mentorship program is an investment. I’m going to show you how to make a return on the money you spend with me.
I want to see you covering this program's cost within 90 days. More than that, I want you setting up realistic game plans, pricing, and systems to take your business where you want it to be.
If you’re not seeing progress after 90 days, even though you have put your all into doing the required work, I’ll refund your money… I don’t want your money if you aren’t a super-duper fan.
I invite you to join the Profitable Designer Blueprint. You’ll be tickled pink that you did!
Thinking about joining, but still have some questions? No problem!
Book a quick chat with me and I'll help you figure out if this program feels like the right match for you.
Designer Blueprint
The coaching program for aspiring and struggling residential interior designers who are ready to take control of their finances and their life by creating a profitable residential interior design business they love.
INTRODUCING
The Profitable
The program goal is to provide a solid support structure that'll help you skip a 5-year learning curve, and instead arm you with top-notch strategies that make the cash register ring.
This year-long mentorship is priced at a cost that’s perfectly suited for the aspiring or struggling interior designer who wants to move away from working for friends and family on side projects… and taking on a handful of projects a year that pays less than a McDonald's salary.
No secrets here… I show you EXACTLY what I do in my business.
The Profitable Designer Blueprint isn’t just another course.
IT IS A STEP-BY-STEP, DONE-FOR-YOU BLUEPRINT FOR BUILDING A PROFITABLE, RESIDENTIAL INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS WITH 12 MONTHS OF SUPPORT FROM ME AND MY TEAM.
This mentorship program includes the exact business systems and processes that I've used to become a $40,000 a month (actual profit) residential interior designer.
These are the same systems and processes I currently use to charge more per design project, work less hours per week (I work less than 25 hours) and how I get dream clients to choose me.
This program is perfect for designers with less than 5 years of experience and focuses on creating a successful, enjoyable, lifestyle, residential interior design business. This isn’t just a video library with a few downloads. You actually get FaceTime with me... I answer your direct questions... I motivate you... I give you advice and put you back on the correct path if you start to stray from the proven system.
There are a lot of systems to put in place (but remember: you only have to do it once). At first glance, it may seem overwhelming. Don’t worry... You have my full support for 12 months while you build your profitable design business- I'm holding your hand along your journey.

There are 17+ hours of pre-recorded video training for you to consume. This is a self-paced program with 10 modules, so it depends on your determination. We recommend spending at least 1-3 hours per week implementing as you go, in bite-sized chunks.
-
This program is for new, struggling to make a real profit or aspiring residential interior designers who are looking for a step-by-step guide in creating a profitable, residential design biz while working part-time doing what they love most.
-
This depends on each person- your network, how much effort you're willing to put into it, and how long it takes you to implement the systems/processes. In short, it really depends on you- you have to be willing to put in the work and follow our proven systems. This is your business/responsibility.
-
We recommend investing in a few professional softwares to level-up your systems/processes. However, there are a handful of softwares that are free! These are not required on day 1, but after you've gone through the training and your biz is up and running, we recommend implementing these to succeed. Overall, it's around $150 all-in.
-
We offer bi-weekly group zoom calls so you can ask specific questions directly with Emilee on any issues you are having.
-
No, you just need an eye for design. Some of the most famous designers today (like Joanna Gaines or Amber Lewis) do not have formal training or a degree in interior design! I have 0 certifications/degrees myself.
-
No, you just need the natural drive and talent. Do you scour Pinterest for hours and hours? Can you look at a room and visualize how much better you could re-design it? Do you find yourself watching HGTV and judge everything they're doing? Is one of your favorite hobbies going thrifting/antiquing for treasures? If you enjoy rearranging your home for fun and that brings you joy = congrats, you have a natural talent
-
No, I do not teach how to design spaces as you either have an eye for design or not. I teach the business side of running a successful and profitable interior design business.
