OVERVIEW

At The Design Coach, LLC, we believe exceptional interiors begin with understanding. That’s why we’ve reimagined the role of the interior designer—transforming it from a transactional service into an educational, collaborative experience we call Design U.

Design U is our philosophy and our promise: to educate, empower, and elevate our clients throughout the entire journey of homeownership.

As a national leader in luxury interior design and lifestyle services, The Design Coach delivers clarity, confidence, and creative excellence—guiding clients from initial vision to long-term stewardship of their homes.

Unlike traditional firms, we don’t simply make selections—we teach our clients how to see, evaluate, and understand their spaces.

Through Design U, clients gain fluency in the design process, confidence in decision-making, and a deeper connection to their home.

The result is not just a beautifully finished interior, but an informed and empowered homeowner—one whose environment is elevated through knowledge, intention, and enduring design.
