For the past six months, all eDesign clients have been part of something Iâm calling Designing Back, and this is literally the thing I started Balm Interiors to do đ
â¨After working for nonprofits and experiencing how fickle and exhausting donor development is, i wanted to build a for-profit business that could donate design hours to folks rebuilding from disaster. So starting in January (and all of 2025) a portion of my design hours each month have been donated to support households rebuilding after a natural or personal disaster, and itâs been amazing so far.
â¨Sometimes weâre picking finishes for a kitchen renovation you never saw coming.â¨Sometimes weâre furnishing a blank apartment after you lost your stuff.
Sometimes weâre making an old place feel new again after your divorce.
â¨Itâs design that helps you feel at home again after the s-word that life unfortunately and yet somehow always brings.
If youâve worked with me this year on an eDesign project, youâve already helped make it happen by paying market rate design fees! Youâve been part of something beautiful without even realizing it. And my heartfelt thanks go out to all of you!
After 6 months trialing the program, Iâm officially introducing it this week to my email subscribers. The email has all the details and includes the full Program Guide.
Comment below and Iâll send it to you.
Because good design helps you feel at home again. And while I hope each of you stay safe and warm and supported, Iâm also here for her if life happens you ever need me đ.
