Become Your Own Designer
The principles I use in every room, for yours.
Everything I teach about making a home feel like yours, three ways: my book, The Thoughtful Home; a one-hour online class with the PDF workbook; or Design Camp, a private workshop where I come to your group.

The premise
making home a place to escape to, not from.
Sometimes you don’t have to hire a designer, you just need to become one for your own house.
Made for gatherings
Team building · Retreats · Girls' nights · and more
Expert guidance
Bring the decision you have been circling for six months. Leave with an answer and the reasoning behind it.
A workbook to keep
Every guest leaves with a workbook from the presentation, to apply the principles to their own home.
Confidence to decide
The real outcome. You stop second-guessing, because you understand why the choice is right.
Design Camp, in person
How a private camp works.
You choose the date and the place and invite up to six guests. I bring everything else.
01
I come to you
Your home, your office or your retreat. I arrive with the presentation and a workbook for every guest.
02
The presentation
Design principles and tips straight from me, the way I would explain them to a friend.
See what we cover
- Understanding the Architecture and History of Your Home
- Creating a Color Story with Paint, Fabrics, and Texture
- Utilizing Height, Depth, and Width
- Shopping Smarter
- Building Strong, Decorative Foundations
- Tips, Tricks and Red Flags When Hiring a Contractor
03
Your questions
The rest of the two hours is for your group's own design questions: a personal design consultation in front of the group, so everyone learns from everyone else's room as well as their own.
Kind words from camp
Anna is so knowledgeable, kind, calm, and approachable. No question or concern is trivial, and she is passionate about sharing her design knowledge. … you don't have to overhaul your current home/room, but you take away a new perspective … The solutions don't necessarily require a lot of energy or expense, and the process is fun rather than daunting. … I recommend Anna's design camp to anyone!
Design Camp was so much fun, and I learned so much in a short amount of time! Anna is so talented, and has a sharp eye for transforming spaces quickly! I finally have hope that my house will be a peaceful and calm retreat that my family will all benefit from thanks to Anna's assistance! Highly recommend to anyone wanting to elevate their space and feel energized doing it!

Before you book
Questions.
What's the difference between the three?
The book is the paperback on Amazon, to write in as you work through it yourself. The online class is my presentation, recorded, with the PDF workbook to download. Design Camp is the same presentation in person: I come to your group and stay to answer everyone's questions.
How do I get the online class after I buy?
Right after payment you're taken to a private page to watch the video and download the PDF workbook. Keep that page's address; it's yours to come back to.
How many guests can come in person?
Up to six, and each guest gets a workbook.
Where does the in-person camp happen?
Wherever your group is gathering in the Abilene area: your home, your office or your retreat venue. Travel outside the Abilene area is quoted.
Who pays?
The host books and pays $750 for the whole group, so guests just come.
How do I book?
Send me your preferred date and a little about your group through the form. I'll confirm the date and send you the payment link.
Is ongoing design help included?
No. The camp is the two hours. If anyone wants help with a room afterwards, Virtual Design and Small-Scale Projects are there for that.
Keep going afterwards
The camp ends. Your project does not.
Keep asking me questions about your room after camp with Anna on Call: three questions a month, answered by me.
