After taking The E-Design Academy with Tierny, I came away genuinely impressed. If you’re an interior designer who’s been thinking about shifting to virtual services or scaling the part-time business you already run, this course gives you the practical steps and tools to make that transition real — not just theoretical.
What the course does well:
- Step-by-step roadmap for going fully virtual. The course breaks down the entire process into manageable steps or phases. Instead of vague advice about “offer e-design,” Tierny walks you through exactly what to change in your workflow, how to structure services, and what operational pieces you need to put in place to run everything remotely.
- Real-world client guidance. One of the strongest parts of the course is Tierny’s concrete advice on client interactions — from initial qualification to how to handle scope discussions. She gives specific examples that help you know when to take a client and when to pass. That emphasis on being selective is refreshing and smart: it keeps projects profitable and prevents scope creep. She mentions having a set number of revisions and that if you need to go over, there will be an additional charge for the extra revisions.
- Ready-to-use templates. I found the templates to be an immediate time-saver. Client questionnaires, email examples, proposal layouts — these aren’t just outlines, they’re plug-and-play documents you can adapt and start using right away. If you’ve been procrastinating because you don’t have polished client materials, these alone make the course worthwhile.
- A helpful intro to Designfiles for scaling. If your goal is to grow beyond one-off projects, Tierny’s walkthrough of designfiles (how to use it and all of it’s features) is concise and practical. It’s not an exhaustive software deep-dive, but it gives you enough to decide whether this kind of all-in-one system makes sense for your business and how to implement it.
