Ready to Return to Design—Without Giving Up Your Freedom?

Thousands of talented designers in Northeast Ohio put their careers on hold to raise a family. But when you're ready to get back into the field, traditional firms expect you to act like you don't have a life outside the office.

We believe the best design talent needs schedule autonomy, not a cubicle. Whether you have two hours between school drop-off and pickup or a full open afternoon, you decide when to schedule your in-home color consultations across Greater Cleveland, Akron, and surrounding communities.

We handle the estimating technology and provide vetted craftsman painting crews. You bring the color vision, build relationships with homeowners, and take home high project commissions with complete peace of mind.

Who Thrives in This Role

  • Independent Interior Designers & Decorators: A lucrative way to supplement your existing design practice with high-commission paint and finish projects.
  • Home Stagers & Color Consultants: Monetize your eye for staging and architectural color by converting client consultations into turnkey painting transformations.
  • Working Parents & Creative Professionals: Perfect for design professionals with caretaking responsibilities who need complete schedule flexibility while getting out into local homes and networking in the community.

Core Responsibilities

In-Home & Virtual Color Consultations: Guide clients through color swatches, sheen selections, and accent concepts to develop cohesive interior and exterior palettes.
Frictionless Scoping via Brush OS: Enter room dimensions, surfaces, and color codes directly into our software. Instant, transparent pricing generated with zero manual math.
