How Design Biz Survival Guide Supports the Interior Design Community

Community over Competition is our Secret to Survival

Coaching

Our core service is “one on one” Business Coaching for Interior Designers. No Facebook groups, no pre-packaged pre-recorded courses, and no templates. Your business and your challenges are unique to you and we believe that one size does not fit all. Our personalized approach is intended to lead interior design professionals beyond doubt and help you discover your own true potential beyond limitations.

Podcast

Design Biz Survival Guide is among the longest running Podcasts for Interior Designers about life and the business of design. Our featured guests share their journey of design and entrepreneurship as well as valuable lessons learned along the way. Each conversation is relatable and informational, no matter what stage of business you’re in.

Retreats

Design Biz Retreat is one of the most anticipated annual Retreats for Interior Designers in the industry. Our two day format gathers designers and industry experts from across the country to learn and network among an intimate group of trusted peers and colleagues. With an emphasis on business and personal development, the experience has garnered heart felt reviews and has cultivated valuable friendships that define our interior design community.

Workshops

Our one day Power Courses for Interior Designers is our way of bringing the retreat experience to regions across the country on a smaller, one day scale. Informative presentations and discussions to help you grow your design business are presented by industry experts in an environment of trust and support. Subscribe to our email list and follow us on Instagram to be the first to hear about programs and opportunities in your area.

Client Reflections

"Rick has been extremely valuable to the growth and structure of running my design business. He has helped me unlock my potential as both a designer and business owner through his years of expertise in the design business. Specifically, Rick is trustworthy to the core, provides excellent advice on marketing, onboarding new designers, operations and problem solving. Rick arrives each week with a positive outlook, fresh ideas, and solid examples of ways to improve and grow my business. My confidence has strengthened since hiring Rick! I would not hesitate to recommend him to both new and existing design businesses."

"Rick has a genuine way of building community in the design industry through his connections and approachable demeanor. His passion for building others up is refreshing and admirable. The format of his retreat is designed in a way that makes even an introvert feel like part of the group. There is value for any design business owner of any level and any amount of experience to attend. I was pleased by how giving the other attendees were when sharing their struggles as well as giving insight to what worked well for their businesses. I look forward to attending again next year.”

"Rick has been one of the most encouraging supporters of designers and I love hearing from his guest designers about their perspectives. I write down at least one new thing to incorporate into my practices each episode. I wouldn’t want to be in this industry alone and DBSG and Rick make sure that never happens. Thank you!"

& Kind Words

Rick Campos - Host, Founder, Interior Design Community Leader

My name is Rick Campos and I am a self proclaimed RECOVERING interior designer. I championed my own design business for six years and then supported the growth and development of another design firm for six more years before pivoting into what has now become the most fulfilling iteration of my career to date: building an interior design community.

Over the years I’ve had countless conversations with design professionals, builders, architects, and industry experts about the business of design. Developing strategies and solutions for my own business as well as others through collaboration and support has become my truth, my calling, my passion.

Coaching designers, producing the best podcast for interior designers, and hosting learning events and opportunities for interior design professionals brings me a level of joy that is truly exhilarating.

I am so glad you’re here!
