What a few of our amazing members have to say…

TIFFANY WHITE, MIDCITY DESIGN GROUP

“The Standard ended up being the best investment I made in me and my company. It was a life-changing experience…

When I first heard about the Standard, I was hesitant due to the monetary investment.

I didn’t have processes in place and was just winging it. I decided it was a necessary investment if I wanted to level up.

I am a different designer thanks to the program.

The Interior Design Standard gave me the systems and processes to efficiently run my business. Clients not only love my work, but they appreciate the new level of communication I’m able to offer to them.

My referrals and repeat clients have doubled since implementing the processes from the Standard.

Thanks to a full pipeline, I went from being a one-woman show to having a devoted team of six.

Sandra goes above and beyond in the Standard by providing so much priceless value. She is not just an expert in the field but also has a gift for sharing that knowledge in an easy-to-understand, actionable way!”

—TIFFANY WHITE, MIDCITY DESIGN GROUP
MELINDA KANN, MELINDA K DESIGN

“Once I had the foundation of understanding why it all works together, I was soaring—making money and no longer stressing about the little things…

Prior to enrolling in the Standard, I was really struggling to find an hourly rate that would actually cover my expenses and my time.

The systems and processes that I have in place now save me time, keep me profitable, make clients happy and give me design freedom.

The Standard has increased my profitability so much so that I’m going before a board review for a prime studio space on a corner lot in a gorgeous walking village. It never ever would have happened prior to making this investment in me and my business.”

—MELINDA KANN, MELINDA K DESIGN
ERIN HAUGERUD, EH DESIGN

“I recouped the cost of the program with the very first contract I put through the Standard systems…

Before enrolling in the Standard, I didn’t feel prepared to take on luxury clients.

I needed the Standard systems to fill in the gaps that I had in my existing process. The detail that is given is like nothing I have ever seen.

There are a ton of programs out there “promising” results but end up being a bunch of fluff. I can assure you, the Standard is not that. Sandra shares the exact templates and processes she uses in her business.

My processes are buttoned up, I feel confident in my pricing structure and contracts, and I have the tools to serve my ideal, high-paying clients. Clients are thrilled to have everything upfront (pricing, contracts, etc.) and fully trust me to execute their project.”

—ERIN HAUGERUD, EH DESIGN

If your dream client called you tomorrow, are you ready? Is your business set up to give them the best possible experience? The Standard will prepare you to take on the big projects and see them through to completion beautifully. 

After implementing the Standard, you will be able to approach your dream clients with newfound confidence and process, guaranteed to wow them and instill their trust in you. Many members find that the first clients they sign after implementing the Standard are their ideal clients.

One of the best marketing tools is an excellent portfolio. That comes from completed design projects. And, that comes from a design process that leaves no stone left unturned. My step-by-step process to completing design projects is the crux of the Standard. We change the game. Complete rooms, down to art and accessories and excellent photography are a given, not a hope.

The Standard does not cover branding or marketing.

“I signed three full-service design clients this week! Thank you for teaching me ‘the way’ through the Standard!” Elana Mendelson, Elana Designs, LLC

Whether you reserve your spot prior to next enrollment or enroll once doors open (depending on seat availability), you will receive access to all modules on March 17th, 2024.

“Sandra’s clear, real-people-speak and content dives right to the heart of it all, outlining the most logical process I could have asked for (if I even knew the right questions to ask!).” Jennifer O’Brien, Jenn O’Brien Interiors

Categories Investment, Sales Page

You’ll have lifetime access so you can implement at your own pace. You’ll have ALL the information to reference and go back to – it even serves as a great training for new employees. If I ever retire the program, you’ll be given a ton of notice to download the content (see Terms of Use). 

The Interior Design Standard is the only program in the industry that gives you all the tried and true, tested and fully flushed out templates to run an incredible interior design business.

Categories Investment, Sales Page

I’ve done many courses, hired coaches, and worked with business strategists since starting my business in 2005. I’ve carefully tested different strategies that have led to my 7-figure design firm, happy clients and a joyful business. The Standard is different from other programs because I’ve taken my finance degree and background in business process consulting (literally consulting Fortune 500 companies to be more efficient and profitable) and used my decades in interior design – along with all the courses and mentors – and distilled all of it down to an incredibly detailed, yet easy to understand, template for exactly how to run a thriving interior design firm.

“This program was equivalent to an MBA! Especially for someone like me – who left the corporate world behind to follow her passion and going back to school for design was not feasible but believed in her talent – this course filled in all the missing pieces for all the questions I had. And all the templates and calculators and contracts ARE PRICELESS!” Rydhima Brar, R/Terior Studio

Categories Investment, Sales Page

The Standard is a rare opportunity to be a fly on the wall of a thriving design business. It’s every template, every strategy, my flat fee pricing model and calculator. You will learn in 6 modules what took me 20 years.

The Standard is not for you if you’re looking for a quick fix or are unwilling to commit to transforming your business into a thriving design firm. In order to protect the integrity of the designers who have invested themselves and engrained themselves in my inner circle, there is a strict no-refund policy.

So please, do your research and make sure you are totally ready to change your business for good – once and for all.

The Interior Design Standard Sandra Funk

If your DREAM client walked into your office today, are you ready?

The Interior Design Standard is the fast track to having your firm in “Dream Client” shape

I’ve experienced first-hand what it feels like to transition from running a business with a lumpy pipeline – working with clients that don’t value my expertise and being constantly worried about the bottom line – to running a thriving business that has allowed me to flex my design muscles and generate profits I never dreamed of.

If you’re dedicated to your craft, you owe it to yourself to invest in yourself and your business.

You deserve financial abundance without sacrificing your creativity. I want us all to rise together – to create a greater respect and a new Standard for the entire interior design industry.

When you join me, along with the hundreds of designers who have chosen to invest in themselves, the next few months will change your business… and, improve your life. I’ve seen it over and over again and I want this for you too.

I look forward to meeting you inside.
