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?
🎧Tune in now to get the full episode and actionable steps to start building your own legacy today.
And if you're ready for a personalized roadmap to take your business from where you are now to where you want to be, let’s talk.
I’m offering a limited number of strategy sessions—book yours today, and let’s start designing your future.
Here’s to creating something that lasts,

I’m a commercial exterior and interior designer with an MBA and nearly 20 years in the industry. When I’m not leading my coast-to-coast, multi-million dollar firm, I love sharing real talk on the business of design, blending insights from 20 years as a business professor. I keep it honest—balancing work and chasing my two girls around.
