Due to popular demand…the next Design Camp A to Z will be held May 16-18!

(And if you missed our Announcement about Designer MBA Camp, LOOK HERE)

The response to the ALL-NEW, ALL-INCLUSIVE
Design Camp A to Z has been phenomenal!

• Do you get stuck in completing your room design?
• Does your project lack “wow” factors?
  
• Do you need help with traffic flow and floor plans?
  
• Do you have trouble mixing fabrics and colors?
  
• Are there just too many product choices in the market that it keeps you from making a decision on what to buy?
  
• Do you know what you love, but when you get it home it never looks as good as it did in the store window or catalog?
  
• Do you want a room that looks like it was designed by one of the nation’s premier designers, but your budget just won’t allow?

Then Design Camp A to Z is the answer for you!

The Tobi Fairley A-to-Z system for designing your space takes you through steps like:

• A is for Art

• B is for Budget

• F is for Fabrics and Finishes

• I is for Inspiration

• N is for No No’s-Avoiding Designers biggest mistakes

• S is for Style and Shopping

• X is for X-tra special ways to take your project to the next level.

In this intensive camp, you’ll learn all 26 steps and have a great time in the process!

And the best part is when you complete this camp, you will have designed a room of your choice and walk away with all you need to make that room come to fruition! We’ll even give you some homework prior to camp so you come prepared to make your room design a reality during your three days on site in Tobi Fairley’s Studio and Gallery.

Design from A to Z:

Wednesday, May 16 through Friday, May 18th, 2012

This three day all-inclusive camp will take you through Tobi’s unique system for creating magazine-worthy interiors . Whether you are a designer or a design enthusiast, this camp is ideal for you.

During this intensive 3-day camp you will get up close and personal with Tobi Fairley as she leads you through the 26-step system, Design Camp A to Z. This camp takes place in a fun classroom/studio setting.

You will also be a part of round-table discussions with Tobi’s Design Team experts, do hands-on floorplan exercises, create inspiration boards, and more!

Hear what some of our consulting members have said about their experience:

 Heather Blue Harkovich      Austin, Texas

“Tobi Fairley & Associates helped me immensely this past year. I’ve gone from being unhappy with my business and processes to now having more confidence, enjoying my projects, getting great “magazine worthy” full-room jobs and, most importantly, increasing my profits. I am excited about the prospects for 2012.

Many thanks – I am blessed to have been given the opportunity to work with you and  I’m excited to have signed up for 2012!”

Liz Carroll       Wilmington, North Carolina

“Tobi, thanks for all your help with my business this year! Through your mastermind course, I was able to grow my business 300% in 12 months based on gross and net revenue!  I can’t thank you enough. And look forward to increasing my profits another 300% with you in 2012!”  

Just wanted to say a special “Thank you” and give an extra big hug for taking the time to create Mastermind and share with all of us your trade secrets, successes and even failures. It is such an honor to be part of the group and I feel like I owe you so much already!

Because of your sharing, encouragement and personal attention, I have been able to build my confidence and finally have all the right words and procedures to move forward in my business. Last week I raised my bar (a lot) at your suggestion and I was scared to death! Today my client accepted! Wow!

I am finally getting what I am worth! Feels so great, thanks so much!

Now are you ready to make your business a big success?

If you still feel like you would benefit from a year of Mastermind with on-site sessions, monthly telecalls, quarterly phone sessions and more…it’s not too late to sign up for our Mastermind group.  We have it structured where you can join at anytime.  For more info, contact brooke@tobifairley.com

We hope to see you at camp and in class!!!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you so much for all your support of my Tobi Fairley Design Camps.  We just hit the one year anniversary of our very first Design Camp launched last summer. Boy, how time flies when you are having fun!!

Over the course of our 10 camps to date, we have had campers from 15 states and Canada join us to be inspired about design, blogging and the business of design!

We are taking a little break for the summer, but don’t think we aren’t working. In fact, we are creating all new camps, products and experiences for you that will launch this Fall. And we can hardly wait to tell you what we have in store for you.

Not only are we creating new camps, we are expanding our consulting services for helping Design Professionals grow their businesses and brands, the way we have done, to be successful and viable in this new economy. And if you are just getting ready to start a design business, we have all the help you need to get started on the right foot.

So while we are away, we would still love to hear from you.  Please tell us what camps, services, and tools you are looking for to design your home or to design your business. We would love an opportunity to bring you what you are looking for in the coming months.

Happy Designing and Happy Summer!  xoxo, Tobi
