Our SpeakersÂ
Betsy BrandenburgÂ
Design Processes
Betsy Brandenburg teaches interior designers and design-build firms how to streamline their design processes so projects run more smoothly and businesses feel more sustainable.
Through practical frameworks like the Design Roadmap System, her workshops help teams create clear structures for managing projects, communicating with clients and contractors, and reducing the chaos that often leads to burnout.
Betsy regularly speaks for industry organizations, design groups, chapter meetings, conferences, and professional events.
Robin Rigby Fisher
Chief Architect
Robin Rigby Fisher leads multi-day Chief Architect intensives designed specifically for interior designers who want hands-on training and real-world application.
These workshops go beyond basic software tutorials, helping designers learn how to efficiently produce floor plans, elevations, renderings, and construction-ready drawings using Chief Architect.
Through step-by-step instruction and guided practice, designers leave with stronger technical skills and the confidence to use Chief Architect as a powerful tool in their design practice.
