The Business Behind the Beauty
At Traci Connell Interiors, we create refined, functional spaces that support a life well-earned—where leisure is not just a reward, but a built-in luxury.
That same philosophy drives my work as a mentor.
I’m Traci Connell, and over the last five years, I’ve coached hundreds of interior designers—guiding them through the same systems and strategies that scaled my firm, elevated my client experience, and gave me back my time.
Because what our clients feel—the ease, the clarity, the seamlessness—only happens when the business behind it is working just as beautifully.
THE GLOSS is where I teach that:
- Personalized, high-level mentorship
- Proven, ready-to-implement systems
- Real guidance from someone who’s done it successfully
This isn’t a course. It’s not more content to consume.
It’s a streamlined path to a business that protects your creativity, serves your clients well, and gives you the freedom you deserve.
Because ease is a luxury worth designing—for everyone.
Better Systems and Processes!
“Traci was instrumental in cleaning up my systems and processes. She really helped me to take a hard look at my business, analyze what I was doing well, and where my area of opportunities lied. Since working with Traci, my close rate is higher, I’m signing more clients that are better aligned to my business goals, and my revenue has drastically improved. I cannot thank Traci enough!”
Sophia deDomenico,
Principal Designer & CEO of Et Sal Interiors
Increased Revenue + Confidence in Pricing and Positioning
“Traci gave me confidence in pricing projects and getting the jobs, and she always celebrated my wins — big or small. Shortly after investing in Traci as my coach, we brought on a hefty project, so I feel my investment was paid off right away. With Traci’s guidance, we have increased revenue and expanded our team, and I can now call myself a Luxury Full-Service Designer, instead of a Remodeler!”
DeDe DeWine Holloway,
Principal Designer & CEO of DeWine Design
TRACI'S MENTORSHIP IS WORTH WAY BEYOND THE PRICE
“With one-on-one coaching, Traci helped me position myself in ’Transformative Design.’ I honestly feel like that has connected in all facets of my life — I feel emotional when I’m saying that. Traci’s mentorship is worth way beyond the “price of admission,” and I am so thankful for her!”

Teach your audience how luxury businesses run behind the scenes.

Whether through private mentorship or on stage, my goal is to help you create space for what matters—your creativity, your clients, and your life.
Because ease is a luxury we all deserve.
“The Business Side Of Design Was Like Building The Plane While Flying It Until Finding Traci...”
“I didn’t work for another design firm before starting my own, so the whole business side of design is, you almost build the plane while flying it for a while until you find someone like Traci. I would say the biggest, initial impact from working with Traci was changing our client facing process and how we kick off a project. The new process is going great and is much more efficient, and our clients are loving it.”

“Finally Getting My Back Of House In Order”
“The number one win for me—especially with all the resources you provide—is finally getting my back-of-house in order. I’m really excited about the new year, and I’ve already had so many discovery calls and new clients booked.”
Erica McLain
Founder and Principle Designer,

“The Design Projects Are Getting Bigger And Better”
Since Traci has been our coach, the design projects are getting bigger and better! Design business is flowing through the pipeline more quickly, and this is all thanks to working with Traci.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will I have access to you between sessions
To protect the depth and clarity of each call, there is no additional support between sessions. This structure is intentional—it encourages focused implementation and thoughtful preparation for each meeting.
If you’d like more frequent access or a deeper engagement, private consulting retainers may be available by request.
What happens if I don’t use all six calls within six months?
The six-call package is designed to give you plenty of flexibility within a six-month period. Any unused sessions will expire after that time to help you stay accountable and moving forward.
Can I get access to The Glossary without doing calls?
At this time, access to The Glossary is only available through the six-call mentorship experience. It’s meant to support implementation, not just be another vault of content to sort through.
Who is this mentorship best suited for?
This is for experienced interior designers who are ready to refine the way they operate—whether that’s streamlining systems, elevating client experience, improving pricing, or reclaiming their time as leaders. It’s not a beginner coaching program—it’s a personalized, high-level partnership.
