DELIVER FIVE STAR EXPERIENCES WITHOUT BURNING OUT 

You're a designer who knows you do great work.

But you also know that beautiful design alone isn’t enough to grow your business.

Builders want to collaborate with designers who make their jobs easier. Clients want to feel confident and cared for every step of the way. And you want to run projects that go smoothly instead of leaving you awake at night worrying what detail you might have missed.

That’s where Five Star Design Experience comes in.

I'm Daly Gentry

INTERIOR DESIGNER, MENTOR, AND FOUNDER OF FIVE STAR DESIGN EXPERIENCE.

For two decades, I’ve worked in new construction and large-scale builds. First at a boutique firm and for the last 8+ years in my own studio, Daly Gentry Designs.

Along the way I learned that design school doesn’t teach you how to run a project, work seamlessly with builders, or turn referrals into repeat opportunities.

What I discovered is that if I wanted my business to last (and my stress-levels to stay way down), I needed to do more than pick finishes.

I needed to build lasting relationships with clients, builders, and trades and back them up with solid systems.

IN THE EARLY DAYS OF RUNNING MY DESIGN FIRM...

So many project details lived in my head, which left builders and clients chasing me for answers. 

Trust only goes so far when things fall through the cracks.

Because design school doesn't give us designers the practical tools for running complex design projects, so when I went out on my own, I had to figure things out the hard way.

Everything shifted when I built systems that held every decision, step, and finish.

REFERRALS MAY OPEN DOORS, BUT IT'S THE WAY YOU RUN YOUR PROJECTS THAT KEEPS THEM OPEN.

Now, years later, I consistently work on multi-six figure projects that come from referrals because:

  • Every project detail is documented. Everyone always knows exactly what was decided, when, and why.
  • Builders feel supported. My processes make their jobs easier, which builds trust and positions me as a reliable partner for repeat work.
  • Clients feel cared for. Building or renovating a home is often once-in-a-lifetime. My systems give them confidence that the tiny, but important-to-them details, are noted.

Don’t Just Take Our Word for It

 
“I have been an interior designer for over 25 years, and in the last 10 years, I’ve had amazing coaches and purchased nearly every possible business-assisting tool that’s come my way. But it truly wasn’t until I got 5 Star that my systems and back office got organized. It has upped my business game immensely and made our projects so much cleaner and more streamlined for the contractors we work with, which means I don’t get the emergency texts from them like I used to because of it. This will take your business and confidence to the next level. It’s clear this was created by a high-end interior designer, due to the level of detail in every area.”
