Do you struggle with setting boundaries around your design fees?

In this episode of the Interior Design Business Podcast, I’m sharing exactly how to set clear, confident design fee boundaries that protect your time, increase your profit, and keep your clients happy. If you’ve ever felt like your projects are dragging on, your client is asking for more than they paid for, or you're stuck doing design work that wasn't in the original agreement—this is for you.

I’ll walk you through the structure of a powerful letter of agreement, how to communicate scope, and how to set expectations that serve both you and your clients.

In this episode, I cover:

  • Why a clear scope of work helps everyone succeed
  • The minimum fee that actually covers your time
  • How to avoid scope creep with firm meeting and selection limits
  • The importance of clear money milestones (and how to set them)
  • Why boundaries lead to better client relationships and more profit
