#16: Growing a Design Business & PSF Pricing Methods with Michelle Binette - Pt 1

We met online! (But it's not exactly what you think).

I just love this incredible soul - today's guest is one of the most genuine and authentic people I've yet to meet in this industry - who rocks at roller derby and manifested her way onto The Marilyn Denis Show twice! We first crossed paths several years ago when I attempted a quasi-rescue from the comments section of an online designer group (more on that in the episode)...

Michelle Binette - self-taught interior designer, avid puzzler, & tenacious implementer of all-things tech & A.I., has continually inspired me with her passion for growth and her endearing transparency around what it's actually like growing an interior design business from the ground up.

We catch up after nearly a year of busy #designlife to candidly chat about a shared disdain for phone calls (while actually answering a live call during our chat lol), the growth & evolution of her business, the very real subject of mental health & working through challenges, experimenting with different pricing methods, & we wrap up Part 1 of our discussion diving deeper into the whole per-square-foot method I've come to use and LOVE!

Grab a coffee and settle in... we cover so much! You're definitely going to want to hear more from Michelle - stay tuned for the rest of Part 2, launching later this year...

Curious about how to get into using a per-square-foot pricing method in your own design business?? I've developed a course that expertly guides & teaches you exactly how I price my own design projects! Find it on my website today!
