Hello there & Welcome!

I’m Monique Nicole Holmes, Certified Interior Decorator & Business Coach

As a practicing Certified Interior Decorator, and past Advertising & Marketing Executive, I know exactly what it feels like to have worked in the corporate world for a long time, to then transition into the world of Interior Design, and start a business from the ground up.

It’s not easy. When I decided to change careers and start my design business, I knew nothing about interior design, let alone, how to start and run a business in it.

There were no “Interior Design Coaches” for aspiring Designers and Decorators, and I surely didn’t learn the business of design in interior design school, so I had to figure it all out on my own. But the great news is, that doesn’t have to be your journey. 

I made all of the mistakes and learned all of the hard lessons, so that I can show you how to build your dream interior design business the right way without the headache!

 

Imagine what life as an entrepreneur would be like if you had these freedoms…

 

Do you dream about the day you can hand in your resignation letter on your job, to start and grow your own business, doing what you love, while helping those you were designed to serve? 

Do you want to have all of the freedoms of an entrepreneur, like time, money, and purpose freedom?

Well, it’s absolutely possible!

 

 

Financial Freedom

Earn Unlimited Income, Prepare For Retirement, And Build Wealth And A Legacy For Your Family

}

Time Freedom

Make Your Own Schedule, Spend Time With The People You Love, While Doing The Things You Enjoy

Purpose Freedom

Be Your Own Boss, Work In Your Purpose, And Do What You Love, While Helping Others

How It All Came To Be…

IDCEC APPROVED

After going back to school to get my Interior Decorating Degree, I found a mentor and several coaches to teach me the ins and outs of the business, and learned through trial and (many) errors.

I soon realized that there was a huge gap in the industry.

I started to see that we as design professionals, were not being taught, the business side of interior design. We were only being taught the theory of interior design.

Being an entrepreneur at heart, and having amazing success in my own design business, I decided to share and teach what I knew about the business side of design.

Hence, Employee to Designer was born: When you complete the ETD program you’ll be granted 8 IDCEC credits that you can use towards your Interior Design accreditation that Interior Designers need to stay certified.

“Thank you Monique for all of your insight and knowledge. I have learned how to apply so many things to my business model like marketing automation, developing signature design packages, building my install team, and more! They don’t teach this type of stuff in design school.”
