Employee to Designer/Founder (ETD) is a step-by-step business program for emerging and seasoned interior designers/decorators who want to build a profitable business—from first launch to sustainable scale—without burning out. ETD follows a proven four-phase framework—Transition, Build, Grow, Scale—so you always know what to do next and what to ignore. Who it’s for: Design pros leaving a 9–5 and designers & entrepreneurs who are established but stuck, ready to tighten systems, raise margins, and lead like a CEO. What you get when you join: Phase-based courses (Transition • Build • Grow • Scale) with lifetime access and updates The Designer’s VIP Community for real-time support: 2x monthly live group coaching with Monique VIP-only networking, Hot seat coaching monthly challenges, bonus mini-trainings, swipe files & business templates, early podcast access, and Guest expert workshops. A clear roadmap for offers, pricing, sales consults, delivery systems, finances, visibility, and scale The benefits: Clarity → know exactly where you are and the next right move Consistency → systems that turn “feast or famine” into predictable cash flow Confidence → pricing that sticks, boundaries that hold, and a brand that books Capacity → operations and leadership that free you from doing everything yourself The transformation: You’ll go from “winging it” to running a six- or seven-figure studio on purpose—with clean processes, healthier profit, and a community that keeps you accountable (and celebrated). Start now in The Designer’s Den; courses and the All Access Suite open January 2026.
