You're not looking for more inspiration. You're looking for a proven roadmap that shows you exactly what to do — and in what order.
03. YOU'RE READY TO STOP WONDERING AND START
Maybe for months. Maybe for years. You love design, you know you have the talent — but you don't know the exact steps to turn it into a real business.
02. YOU'VE BEEN Dreaming ABOUT THIS
Friends ask your advice before they buy furniture, choose paint colors, or renovate a room. You've redesigned your own home and secretly wondered if you could do this professionally.
01. YOU HAVE AN EYE FOR BEAUTIFUL SPACES
Is this you?
Design Business Accelerator was created to help aspiring designers build a real, profitable business in a clear, practical, and proven way.
For over 20 years, Liz Levin has helped more than 300 aspiring designers go from "I wish I could do this" to "I just landed my first client." Now she's sharing the exact roadmap — the shortcuts, the mistakes to avoid, and the steps that actually get you clients.
You don't have to keep guessing your way through starting a design business.
For the designer who's ready to build a real business
That's exactly why I created Design Business Accelerator.
You don't need another design course, a certification, or years of experience before you can start. You need a clear step-by-step business blueprint. Clients don't hire degrees — they hire people who can help them create a home they love. This is the roadmap that takes you from aspiring to operating, with the confidence, structure, and process to call yourself an interior designer.
It's not that you don't have the talent. You just need the blueprint.

I came to Liz as a full-time working mom looking to change careers. Liz taught me everything I needed and gave me all the resources, tools, and confidence to make it happen. She saved me years of trial and error.

I had the vision but was lost on the business side. Liz provided a clear path with templates, examples, and guidance, giving me the confidence to move forward — today, I sent out my first project proposal at higher rates than I ever would have before!

Don't take my word for it
- DBA Student
The opportunity was already in front of me. I just needed the confidence, the process, and the business foundation to go after it. Design Business Accelerator gave me all three.
"After implementing what Liz taught, I booked a $150,000 project."
- DBA Student
Same client. Same scope. Same project. I just applied what Liz teaches inside DBA, and the difference it made on a single project was more than I paid for the entire course.
"One small change to my proposal increased my profit by more than $16,000."
- DBA Student
Before DBA, I had the talent but no idea how to find paying clients. After implementing Liz's roadmap, that changed completely. It was the moment I realized this could actually become a real business.
"I landed my first paying design client who wasn't a friend or family member."
I know how overwhelming it can feel when you're trying to turn your love of interior design into an actual business. You might love beautiful spaces, but suddenly there's pricing, contracts, client communication, proposals, and all the business details no one ever taught you. It can feel like a lot to figure out on your own.
That's exactly why I created this course: to give you a clear, proven roadmap you can actually follow, so you can stop guessing your way through the business side and start building your interior design career with more confidence, structure, and momentum.
I've spent more than 20 years building a multi-million dollar interior design business — and helping more than 300 aspiring and beginner designers start businesses of their own. Everything inside Design Business Accelerator is what I wish someone had handed me when I was starting. The shortcuts. The mistakes to avoid. The exact steps that actually get clients.
Hi there,
I'm liz.
I can talk about building a profitable interior design business for hours — and honestly, I usually do.
