Designer Stories

Janet P
Meeting with Terri was a major turning point. Now I don’t do anything less than a $10,000 design fee, and I pick and choose my clients.

Megan S
My freedom is a result of going through the mindset and strategic workshops with Terri. When I joined IDBA, I was making about $80-$90k. This year, I’m just under the $200k mark.

Wendy A
My salary has gone up about 200% since I started working with Terri. What I learned from Terri has changed my business and will continue to do so for a lifetime.

Barbara B
The very first time I quoted $20K for a job, the client said yes! It was INCREDIBLE! Working with Terri and IDBA changed my business forever.

Ashley P
I now have a design business that’s more professional, and with my increased confidence in pricing … my fees have increased as well!

Richard R
Working with Terri opened my business up for new opportunities! I’m also one of the designers selected for the venerable Kips Bay 2019 Showhouse in NYC.

Anne B
My interior design career started in 2011 after having a variety of friends, family, and friends of friends ask me to “do” their house.

Kristy S
By the end of 2011, I was a year into my business, a single Mom, and in survival mode! I had a different set of beliefs about how to run my business, which included lots of fear about what the next job would be or if there really was going to be a next job.

Tina M
I was successfully working as a furniture store designer but wanted to set out and be my own boss. I was working with some good clients but wasn’t sure how to structure my jobs for profitability.

Bonnie J.L.
After a successful marketing management career in the corporate world, I went back to school for an interior design degree.
Other notable success:
“I want to thank you so very much for the wonderful advice you had gave me. We tackeled so many issues during our very intense day, it wasn’t until I transcribed your outlines into the notebook that I was able to absord the issues and solutions.”
