Betsy Brandenburg CKBD

Designer Sanity Founder | Creator of the Design Roadmap System

Betsy has nearly 30 years of experience as an interior designer, including 20 years running her own business. Like many designers, she wasn’t trained in how to manage her projects and struggled with disorganization, stress, and client dissatisfaction early in her career. The turning point came after a project that went sideways taught her the hard way that creativity alone wasn’t enough—she needed a clear process to succeed.

Determined to improve, Betsy developed the Design Roadmap System during a high-stakes project that demanded precision and structure. By breaking down every step, setting realistic timelines, and communicating clearly with clients and contractors, she completed the project on time, on budget, and with exceptional relationships intact. The experience was transformational, leading to new referrals, higher profits, and a thriving business.

Betsy also knows firsthand the toll that constant stress can take on your health. After years of working under pressure, she developed Adrenal Fatigue, which forced her to rethink how she worked and managed her time. She learned how to stay productive despite limited energy and now designs systems that work for real-life challenges—whether you’re a working parent with limited time or managing chronic health issues.

In addition to leading weekly group coaching and mastermind sessions inside the Designer Sanity Circle,

Through her 1:1  Business coaching & workshops Betsy helps interior designers and design-build professionals:

• Customize and implementing the Design Roadmap System

• Streamline business operations

• Build systems that support both work and well-being

Passionate about taking care of you, the designer, Betsy believes this work isn’t just about getting more done—it’s about avoiding burnout and rediscovering the joy in your design business. By taking control of your process, you can access your true creative vision, zone of genius, and fulfillment like never before.
