Meet the Team

Our Mission

Meet the Team

So, how do we do it?

Meet the Team

First of all, we know the interior design
and window treatment industry—

because this is our industry too.
We aren’t coaches or motivational
speakers—we arrive ready to make
things happen.

We’ve assembled our own team
of experts

who love to find efficiencies,
see the operational solutions
hiding in the matrix, and aren’t
afraid of getting their hands
dirty.

Need someone
to diligently
search for staff

who will stick with you for
the long haul? Done.

We solve industry-specific problems.

Require training and process implementation so those new hires can
start adding value instead of following you around little ducklings?
Put
us in, Coach.

Want us to roll up our sleeves, diagnose the organizational issue, and
reorganize your warehouse?
Sure thing, we’ve done it before.

And we do so much more. Probably too much for a simple bio. Seriously,
we should talk.
