Building a Business Legacy as an interior designer

Building a Business Legacy

February 05, 20252 min read

We all start our businesses with a passion for design, but at some point, the question shifts from “How do I land my next client?” to “What will my business stand for years from now?”

Building a legacy isn’t about short-term wins—it’s about creating a business that thrives beyond you. Whether your goal is to pass it down to the next generation, sell it as a valuable asset, or leave a lasting impact on your industry and community, the time to start shaping your legacy is now.

In my latest Success by Design solo episode, I break down:

How to embed your core values into your brand so they resonate for years to come

A simple way to start giving back without disrupting cash flow

The financial strategy behind legacy-building (because impact needs a plan)

Why mentorship is one of the most powerful tools for long-term influence

How strategic partnerships can expand your reach and create lasting impact

I also share a personal look at why legacy-building matters to me—as a business owner, as a coach, and as a mom. My goal is to create a firm that my daughters could one day take over—or one that’s strong enough to be sold, with systems and impact in place that extend far beyond my daily involvement.

We all know they do grow up so fast and the legacy I leave for them is priority to me.

Sound like something you want for your own business?
