I’ve Built a Design Business —
and I Teach Designers How to Do the Same

After running a multi-location interior design firm, I now help designers build businesses that last.

Design Talent Is Only Half the Equation

Most designers figure out the business side the hard way. Pricing feels like guesswork. Systems are all over the place. And the more you grow, the more it feels like everything's held together with tape and a prayer.

The talent was never the problem. The structure was.

Over time, I built real systems around pricing, contracts, client experience, and operations that let my firm scale without the chaos. Things got clearer. More predictable. And honestly, way more sustainable.

When the business side is built with intention, everything else starts to fall into place.

The McClain Method exists to help designers build that structure, so your business actually supports you instead of the other way around.

What I Focus On

Clear pricing over constant discounting

Defined processes over reactive scrambling

Client boundaries over people pleasing

Long term stability over short term hype

Sustainable growth over burnout

STRUCTURE

is what turns talent into a business.

Built on Experience. Backed by Results.
