We're On A Mission​​

Our Story

Hi I’m Jess,

I’m an Interior Designer and the story of The Design Cure happens to start with me :

When just getting started with E-design, I was so excited for the potential it offered. Working online from anywhere, working for myself doing what | love, having time to travel, being near family, no more commuting in busy LA traffic, working with multiple clients at once, the benefits go on and on.

The Frustrating Beginning

found myself struggling to find the right software to use for my Design Boards. And If you’re like me you don’t want to spend a lot of time, or money, on software.

So I tried everything, olio board, polyvore, room styler all of which had limitations. After a lot of research, I found Photoshop to be the best tool for the job. It’s speed, affordability, diversity and especially the part where I could showcase any image | could find on the internet.

Although I knew that Photoshop was the best tool, I struggled to find learning resources that were specific to Interior Design. Luckily, my husband Brian has an extensive background in digital graphics. When he saw how much I was struggling with the software he worked with me to develop a workflow that could meet my Design needs.

The Happy Ending

He started to teach me techniques that were specific to interior design that in the end saved me soooo much time and really made my boards look professional. And that’s what’s really important right? Being really confident and proud of your presentations. In the end, the better your presentations the more bids you win and its what keeps your clients coming back.

After seeing how much these techniques and templates helped me improve my presentations skills we knew other people would want help too. Which is why we put together a free library of resources and much more intense learning courses aimed to help the interior design community learn Photoshop and more.

I still use Photoshop today and, over time, have expanded my business by offering new tiers of services including Drawing, Drafting, 3D rendering and Virtual Walk throughs. We have a growing team of designers that work with clients across residential and commercial projects.

I hope you find our tools and training to be as valuable, if not more so, than they have proven to be for me. I’d recommend getting started on the courses page where you can see a simple curriculum layout.

To your success,

Jess
