Stressed, Tired, and Working Too Hard with no work life balance?
I Know Because I've Been There
You might be thinking...
“I love design, but why do I feel like my business is running me rather than me running it?”
You are not alone. While there are a lot of business coaches and a lot of interior designer coaches, Katie both runs a highly successful design firm and can guide you through profitability, thanks to her MBA and nearly 20 years of interior design industry experience.
Or maybe you're thinking...
“I work so hard; why is my business not growing?”
Hard work alone may not guarantee success or an extensive pipeline. It's crucial to align your marketing efforts with your valuable skills, market demands, and your target demographic; this is where partnering with the right coach comes in. Katie will help you assess your sticking points, explore opportunities, refine your goals, and evaluate your firm's functions to get you best positioned for optimal success.
Or you're expanding into commercial design...
“I'm ready to scale my services.”
The segue from residential interior design to commercial interior design can come with some hesitation. Do you have enough understanding of the types of insurance, permits, schedules, partnerships, vendors or workflows involved with introducing commercial projects into your portfolio? Why learn the hard way? Let’s make sure you have a full understanding of the needs and differences of what’s required in taking on commercial design projects from someone who has done it for nearly two decades.

ABOUT YOUR COACH
Get To Know Katie
Katie Decker-Erickson began Color Works in 2007 to combine her love of color and beautiful design with her business savvy and the experience she gained while earning her MBA and certification from the International Association of Color Consultants and Designers. The result is a process-driven design firm that emphasizes ROI just as much as it does choosing the right color.
What began as a part-time endeavor is now a multi-million dollar business born of smart and intentional growth.
I started with a cardboard box and paint chips, literally. Wherever you are, I can help you get to where you want to be through proven processes and first-hand experience of starting, growing and running a design firm.

As Seen On
“I needed big picture thinking and am so thankful she provided that.”
“I had the pleasure of working with Katie as I built my business. I loved that Katie made me feel heard. She validated my thoughts and feelings towards ideas. I could send her ideas and talk through them to develop a process of implementation, or realize it’s not the right fit for my business. As a fellow entrepreneur/mom, I felt like she had my best interest at heart and I could connect with her. I have a hard time seeing the big picture and she helped guide me. She had me think about how I want to market myself, who I myself as,and where I want to go with my business. I needed big picture thinking and am so thankful she provided that. From building a brand to producing a logo, having a color scheme, and thinking about the growth of my business, Katie provided it all.”
– KATE SNELSON
Lais Brito kind words
“I met Katie when I wanted to change the direction of my business and was looking for an interior design business owner who had already been through it to guide me. Working with Katie has been fantastic! She's helped me create a plan for attracting my ideal clients and creating new services to increase revenue. Having someone that I can ask anything to and that shares openly and transparently has been game changing. I look forward to future coaching sessions!.”
“She built me up, challenged me, and supported me in every way I needed."
"I can’t say enough wonderful things about working with Katie. She is truly a champion of other women and believes in what we as women and mothers can bring to the table. Katie selflessly gave her time to help me reach my goal using every connection and strategy she had. I know the coaching she gave me on everything from contact strategies, email wording, and follow up were the difference between reaching my goal or letting opportunities slip away.If you want a true powerhouse and supporter in your corner you won’t be able to do better than working with Katie. She built me up, challenged me, and supported me in every way I needed."
