What They’re Saying
“Attending the Empower the Designer event last fall was a game-changer for Casual Elegance Designs. The ideas shared were incredibly practical and easy to put into practice—I saw the impact as soon as I got back to the office.
It was also such a gift to connect with others in the design community—to share experiences, challenges, and wins. One of the most helpful aspects was having the Studio Designer home office team there in person. We were able to troubleshoot small issues on the spot, learn tips and tricks directly from the source, and even offer feedback on how the software could better support our workflow.
This event didn’t just inspire me—it made Casual Elegance Designs stronger, both financially and operationally. I left with clarity, tools, and a deeper understanding of how to run my business more efficiently. I can’t recommend it enough.”
“It was so refreshing to spend a few days surrounded by creative minds who truly understand the unique challenges and triumphs of running a design business. The honest, open conversations about operations, strategy, and growth were not only inspiring but incredibly validating. Hearing others share their wins and struggles reminded me that we’re all navigating similar paths—and we don’t have to do it alone. Events like this are invaluable. We need more spaces in our industry where collaboration, transparency, and community take center stage.”
“Empower the Designer exceeded every expectation I had—and then some. I’ve attended several retreats over my 20-year design career, including those marketed specifically to established professionals, but none have felt as thoughtfully tailored to the unique challenges and goals of luxury interior designers. I walked away with more clarity, strategy, and actionable tools than I’ve gained in years of private coaching, seminars, or industry events. I wholeheartedly recommend this retreat to any designer looking to elevate their business and mindset”
