Sound Familiar?
Chaos
You’re juggling multiple projects, but behind the scenes, it feels like chaos. You’re working nights and weekends just to keep from drowning.
Â
Constant Stress
You’re struggling to set client expectations and keep projects on track, which leads to constant interruptions and stress.
Â
Overwhelm
You love design, but the business side feels overwhelming—planning, organizing, and managing projects takes more energy than you ever imagined.
Â
Imposter Syndrome
You’re worried about how your business appears to clients; you want to exude confidence and professionalism but feel the cracks forming.
Your education and training may have covered design, but not how to actually get your projects done...without losing your mind. And that’s where the Accelerated Process Path comes in.
Why Work With Betsy
 I’m not a generic business coach.
I’m an interior designer and studio owner with nearly 30 years of real-world experience — and I’ve lived the exact challenges you’re navigating.
That means:
-
You don’t have to explain how complex design projects really are
-
You don’t have to justify why “normal” systems don’t work for creative brains
-
You don’t have to translate client chaos, contractor pressure, or scope creep
You’ll get:
-
Compassion grounded in experience
-
Practical tools that actually get used
-
Systems customized to your business, not a template
This work is calm, direct, and deeply practical.

How the Accelerated Process Path Works
Celebrating Client Success
“After 19 years of doing design and running a successful construction business, our systems had started to bog me down. Working with Betsy has changed everything. Since partnering with her, everything has fallen into place, and I have rediscovered my joy for design.
The return on investment from her coaching has been invaluable; it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for our company.
Betsy has an incredible talent, not only in her expertise but also in listening and creating a true partnership. I can’t say enough good things about this program, other than I wish I had found it much sooner in my career.”
Johanny Barnes, NorCal Builders
“Learning the Design Roadmap and being able to use that to help structure the flow of each of my projects has been worth its weight in gold! The structure and transparency it provides for each project and for the client is amazing.
It allowed me to take my business to the next level of professionalism and gave me the confidence to bid and take on projects I would have been way more apprehensive to tackle.
The goal-setting and accountability aspect of our meetings have also been super beneficial. I love how Betsy also reminds me to take stock of what has been accomplished and celebrate the goals that have been reached.”
Gordon Kingsley Bass, GKB Interiors

“Designer Sanity, 1:1 coaching with Betsy, has been life-changing for me. Betsy has helped me get processes in place, she’s helped me get the right forms set up, and she’s helped me understand the best ways to set up my business so that things flow smoother.
She’s walked me through things I didn’t understand and she’s encouraged me to believe more in myself. Her advice and expertise are invaluable, and I’ll be forever grateful to her for creating the program that she has and for being willing to share everything that she does!
Thank you, Betsy, for being a catalyst of change in my life and for being a positive turning point in my future success!”
Dionne Kelly, Dielle Studio Â
