What's The Designer’s Edge About?

  

It’s about owning your role on the jobsite—so you can lead projects with clarity, charge what you’re worth, and build a more profitable, respected design business.

This program was built specifically for interior designers—by someone who’s lived it for over 30 years. Inside, you’ll get the systems, tools, and real time support you need to turn construction management into one of the most strategic, high-impact services you offer your clients.

Not just a course.
The Designer's Edge is a done-with-you experience designed to help you implement with confidence and grow with purpose.

 

You know how to design. And maybe you’ve even handled a few construction projects. 

 

But deep down, you’re still asking: Am I charging enough?

Did I catch everything in the scope of work? Is this really my role—or the contractor’s?

Even seasoned designers admit — construction can feel like the wild west sometimes.

The good news? You don’t need to keep figuring it out alone.

Inside The Designer’s Edge, you’ll gain the structure, strategies, and guidance to manage construction with confidence — so you can protect your time, elevate your role, and grow your profits with every new project.

'The best money I've ever spent on my continuing education as a designer'

"Over the years I've managed to cobble together my own standard operating procedures and carve out a niche and method of working with contractors and crews to achieve a level of success, but it hasn't been easy and I've often found myself wishing there was a teacher or a book that I could reference to make sure that I was doing things at the highest industry standard and charging what I was worth.

I was thrilled when I found this course, as it ticked all of those boxes-and more. 

It has given me the guidance that I've been looking for, new insights into construction management best practices, and a stronger belief in myself when making the tough calls. Finally, Renee is not just talking the talk but walking the walk; if you have any questions or comments she is responsive and supportive. 

I've taken lots of courses over the years, and this one has truly been some of the best money I've ever spent on my continuing education as a designer!"

-Britta Butler

Here’s What You Can Expect When You Start Leading Projects Differently:

  • Flat fees that reflect your time, expertise, and real value

  • Projects that run more smoothly—because you’re driving the process
  • Contractors who trust your input (and refer you again and again)

  • Clients who see you as the expert—and stay with you for life

  • A business model that’s more profitable, more sustainable, and more respected
  • And more...

Construction management isn’t just an add on — it’s the key to long-term growth, deeper client trust, and consistent income.

And The Designer’s Edge was built to help you get there.

Lead with Intention. Grow with Purpose.

 

Successful construction management isn’t about reacting—it’s about leading.

That starts with clear processes, confident communication, and tools that support you every step of the way.

Inside The Designer’s Edge, you’ll learn how to position your services, grow your referral network, and deliver a streamlined experience that blends decorating and construction management — so business becomes more profitable and built to last.

What’s at the Core of The Designer’s Edge?

 

 

At the heart of this program is The Interior Designer’s Guide to Construction Management™— my complete, step-by-step course that’s helped hundreds of designers lead profitable projects with confidence.

Here’s what you’ll learn inside the course:

01

Stepping Into the Lead — Redefine Your Role and Take Control Early

 

Every successful project starts with a clear leader—and that leader is you. This module helps you step into that role with confidence, setting strong boundaries, clear expectations, and a foundation that protects your time and your vision.

02

Building the Foundation — Pricing, Team Dynamics, and Setting Your Project Up for Success

 

Before any walls come down, the real work begins—starting with how you price your role and build your project team. This module gives you the tools to create profitable flat fees, communicate your value, and lay the groundwork for a smooth, collaborative build.

03

Managing the Process — Stay in Control from Demo to Final Punch List

 

Construction doesn’t run itself—and if you’re not leading, someone else will. In this module, you’ll learn how to manage timelines, track progress, and keep everyone accountable without burning out or getting buried in busywork.

04

Mastering Relationships — Build Respect, Trust, and Influence on Every Project

 

Construction projects succeed or fail based on relationships—and designers are often caught in the middle. This module shows you how to build mutual respect with contractors, support your clients through tough decisions, and become the trusted professional everyone wants on the team.

05

Mastering the Details — Speak the Language of Construction and Elevate Your Role

 

This is where good designers become great project leaders. In this module, you’ll learn the language, drawings, codes, and construction concepts that help you collaborate with confidence—and earn respect from the entire team.

But That’s Just the Foundation. Introducing... THE STUDIO

 

 

The Interior Designer’s Guide to Construction Management™ is your step-by-step roadmap —

I select a thoughtful question or complex challenge posted in the Facebook group and invite that designer to a private Zoom coaching call.
These sessions are shared with the group (with permission) so everyone can learn from the real time feedback.

'It has helped me charge more.'

"The course has absolutely leveled up my game. It has helped me charge more - charge what I'm worth! And helped me create better partnerships. I am now viewed as an expert from my vendors and contractors. I highly recommend the course.”

-Meredith Huck
 

'You cannot compare the course to the podcast.'

“I listened to your whole podcast, from start to finish and they were all fantastic, there is no doubt about that. But you cannot compare the course to the podcast. It’s not comparing apples to apples. If you only rely on the podcast - you’re limiting yourself and the growth of your business if you don’t actually invest in the course and rely just on the podcast alone. ”

-Tracy Laqua
 

'Worth every penny.'

“If you have specific questions about problems, projects, pricing, clients, issues... Renee is just a wealth of from her life experience being in design. You can't go wrong.”

-Katie Rainey
 

'Helped me get the job.'

“Your scope of work/ hours estimate sheet helped me get the job. I was the 4th designer the client meant with and the most expensive. But the scope of work lesson helped the client feel okay with the big number."

-Stephanie Hobson
 

'Renée's course put me on the fast-track.'

“Before I met Renee I was just getting by... I lacked the confidence and the skillset and knew there was so much more I could learn and bring to the table as a value to my clients and contractors. Renee's course really put me on the fast-track. I was able to eliminate so many mistakes just by implementing her teachings right away.”
