Together, we have over 70+ years of combined continuous experience working directly within the furniture and interior design industry – with homeowners, retailers, manufacturers, luxury interior designers, online interior designers, software providers, publishers and trade shows.

“The first phone call between myself, Julia and Leslie was over three hours long and was truly a meeting of the minds, of all the things that we could do for the beloved interior design industry, together. Because that’s what it’s going to take, to educate the consumers about why its better to hire a true professional vetted interior designer, while also giving them the tools and connections necessary to stay relevant in this industry. That call was the basis of everything our Ethos membership stands for.” ~ Kelly Schellert
