Funding Usage
These funds would allow me to establish a website and create credit card capabilities for a web commerce site. Interactive websites are costly. These funds would also allow me to acquire much more product samples and a professional photographer for website and product photos.

Business Plan
My goal is to continue my design skills and share my abilities with others. My goal is to have at the least modest success and at the most an advisory segment on television. After reaching such goals, I want to give back to my community and younger people wishing to be an interior designer by introducing them to the wonderful connections I have made over my decades of experience. Investors can be assured I have the passion in my industry, and will continue my success. My strengths are solid with relationship building and engagement with the public and gaining their trust.

Self Identified Competition
My top three competitors are existing online businesses such as DIY sites e.g. Room Sketch, the Expert.com, and other Local Designers. My design skills differ from many others because I am not "cookie-cutter" in my design. I also feel my skills will evolve in a branding ability. My nearly 40 years of knowledge for wallpaper and textiles in many ways far exceed others.
