⚠️ Today’s Live Q&A …and we’re going straight to the stuff that actually matters. ⚠️

December 8, 2025 | 12–1 PM EST

🎉 We’re officially kicking off our first live Q&A inside STR Design Insider Hub — no fluff, no performative advice. Just the real conversations STR/MTR designers actually need.

We’ll dig into: 💲 Pricing — when was the last time you intentionally raised it? Ever resent a client because you undercharged?
🔭 Offers & scope — a.k.a. where your job really ends
🏳 Client boundaries — yes, they exist… we’ll find yours
❓ Your real-time questions, unfiltered

Here’s the bridge 👇
All of this ties directly into something I’m building — because this keeps coming up.

During the call, I’ll share a first look at the pricing app I’m developing for STR designers (coming in January) — a tool designed to help you dial in your best pricing model based on:

✅ Realistic revenue goals
✅ True overhead
✅ Your service mix (design-only, install, full-service, consulting)

This isn’t about copying what others charge. It’s about pricing with clarity, confidence, and sustainability — without burning out or under-earning.

👀 See comments for steps to join the live Q&A.

💬 Want your question prioritized? Drop it below with: 1️⃣ Topic: Design / Pricing / Clients / Install / Other
2️⃣ One-line description of your situation

Bring your questions, your “I definitely undercharged for that” stories, and whatever’s keeping you stuck.

Let’s untangle it — together. 💥

Short-term rental design keeps getting louder.

What’s been missing is a place for designers, stagers, creatives, and serious DIY investors to talk strategy, pricing, systems, and profit without all the noise.

So I built it. 💡

🎯 Introducing the STR Design Insider Hub on Skool
It’s a private community for people who are ready to move beyond “cute decor” and start treating STR design like the business engine it really is.

Inside the Hub, we dig into:
(1) How to elevate your STR design services (or add them to your existing business)
(2) How to upgrade your own listing if you’re a DIY investor/host
(3) Offers, pricing, and boundaries so you’re not working for free with pretty pillows
(4) Guest-obsessed design that still respects budgets, risk, and ROI

My mission is simple:
Create a great guest experience with durable, risk-managed design that drives owner profitability.

If that resonates with you—and you’re tired of piecing it all together from random posts and reels—this Hub is where the real work happens.

Come inside, introduce yourself, and let’s elevate your business or your listing—on purpose.

I am working on 5 projects now. One in ATL this weekend. Two in OH, and one in KY and TX in the next several weeks. I am looking forward to traveling again. Especially the Cleveland, OH property on Lake Erie. I bet that is going to be beautiful to visit this time of year.
