With three decades of experience in the design industry, my colour business is built on the solid foundation of classic and timeless design principles and a system for making the right colour decisions.
For the first time ever, I’m giving you an exclusive insight into my business model, showcasing various income streams from in-person consultations to physical and digital products, and a brief look at eDesign.
In this online course, I take the guesswork out of starting and running a colour business so you can succeed with confidence, efficiency, and a clear understanding of how to attract and retain clients. The result? You get to spend your time doing what you love while building a thriving business.
Getting started in the business of colour isn’t simply trading time for money. You’ll uncover a variety of profitable offerings within your chosen niche.
From developing your aesthetic and portfolio to finding your ideal clients, I've broken it down into manageable steps you can follow at your own pace.
I love helping friends pick paint colours and decorate their homes, but the idea of turning this passion into a paid service has always seemed out of reach.
It feels like there are a million things to do. I don't want to waste time on the wrong things but I'm not sure what to focus on first.
I’ve never been good at selling myself. I don’t just want to be good at picking colours; I want to know how to run a successful business.
You're not alone!
I’ve heard all of these questions before… I’ve even asked them myself when I was just starting.
The Business of Colour course is designed to be the first step in helping you kickstart your colour business with confidence.
So, if you don’t want to keep putting it off and you’re ready to transform your talents into a colour business — I’m here to guide you!

“I appreciated how Maria gives lots of ideas for what kind of business to have, niches and reminds us to focus on what we CAN do and what we WANT to do. There is literally not a more helpful course to take in my opinion.”
“It is invaluable! I went from absolutely no knowledge on how to start an eDesign business to gaining a lot of knowledge on what to do and what it takes. I have learned from Maria's years of experience and will be able to use it as a foundation to start my own eDesign career.”
“I feel like I have a good start on how to start my business. I wasn't sure how to get going before taking her course. Each of the modules were very clear about hte lesson and the workbook that went with each section was very helpful to work through each step.”
“I'm a graphic designer looking to make a potential career change. I really liked how, even though this course was more about interior design and color consulting, that a lot of the information could be applied to other online business endeavors.”
“As I watched each module, I appreciated the honest and straightforward approach Maria brought to each lesson. It felt at times like I was sitting next to Maria over coffee, but with incredibly well organized information presented in a way that builds upon itself.”
