FOR AMBITIOUS MOMS + FUTURE HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE READY TO DESIGN SMART,       BEAUTIFULLY, AND STRESS-FREE.

“Finally!”
Another decision checked off your list—without second-guessing.
The kitchen layout makes sense, the flooring ties in perfectly, and your budget is crystal clear.
You’re sipping coffee in your PJs while the kids are still sleeping, scrolling through your design booklet that actually looks and feels like you.
How is this possible?
Because you took control of your home build with Refine My Build—the digital course that gives you the tools, clarity, and confidence to turn your dream home into reality.




Imagine if every idea, selection, and note for your new home lived in one clear, organized place…
I'll never forget the first time I designed a new build home all on my own. I had inspo images in one spot, hardware selections in another, and about 20 different documents. If I could go back and use the systems I have in place now, I could’ve done it in a fraction of the time (and with far less stress). Designing a home isn’t just about picking finishes—it’s about documenting and communicating your wants and needs in a way that leaves no room for miscommunication with your builder. Getting everything out of your head and onto paper in a way that’s organized and clear.Â

Course Value = $10,000+ | Special offer pay in full Price = $1,499 (Savings $1000!)

How much time will I need to complete the course?
The course is self-paced, so you can go through it at your own speed. Each module is released one week at a time, giving you the chance to absorb the material without overwhelm. You can take as much time as you need depending on your schedule and progress.
What kind of support will I get during the course?
When you join the course, you’ll also receive 3 months of free access to In the Studio—my online design community. Inside, you can post photos, ask questions, get feedback tailored to your project, and connect with others who are building and designing too.
Is this course relevant if I'm not planning to build for a few years?
Absolutely! The knowledge you gain will prepare you well in advance, helping you make smarter decisions, and feel more confident when the time comes to start your build. It's never too early to learn and start planning.Â
Is this course helpful if I've already started the building process?
100%. While it's ideal to start early, the course is packed with useful insights at every stage of the process. If you've already started building, you'll still benefit from the project organization tools, design templates, and guidance on managing construction. Diving in will help you get ahead of all the decisions that will be coming your way.Â
What if I run into a unique issue during my build that isn't covered in the course?Â
The course is designed to address common challenges, but you'll also have access to a community or resources for additional support. Plus, the principles you'll learn will help you problem-solve and approach unique situations with confidence.Â
