Join Shayna and Evelyn as they tackle the pricing struggle that's costing you thousands on every single project: the lack of a systematic tool that calculates your numbers for you. In this essential episode, they walk you through building the one spreadsheet that will change everything—a pricing tool that removes the paniced second-guessing, the "am I charging enough?" spiral, and replaces it with clean math that protects your profit margins every time.

You'll hear candid reflections on why most designers are drowning in pricing confusion because they're using the wrong metrics, the power of structuring your pricing around units and hours so you can finally predict profitability, and why this spreadsheet isn't just about closing jobs, it's the foundation that controls your capacity and whether you're actually making money or just staying busy.

The episode also dives deep into building a proposal summary page that translates your messy calculations into a clean visual dashboard for selling, why coding in contingency time keeps you from going underwater when clients get indecisive, the negotiable variables you can offer without ever lowering your rates, and how to separate controllable time from uncontrollable time so you can hold clients accountable when scope expands.

You'll get practical guidance on why your flat fee still needs to come from somewhere logical, how this tool becomes your defense when projects take longer than expected, and why accountability—with yourself, your team, and your clients—starts with having the numbers to back you up.

Packed with honest encouragement and actionable spreadsheet-building steps, this episode is your roadmap to stop leaving money on the table and start pricing like the interior design professional you are. So, if you're ready to build a tool that grows with your business, take control of your time and profitability, and finally feel confident that your bank account reflects the work you're putting in, this episode is for you. ​
