SERVING WOMEN ARCHITECTS, INTERIOR DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS
The TLDR bio:
From Architectural Apprentice to Principal Designer and founder of her own Interior Design Firm. Catherine is happy at work and happy at home - let's get you there too!
Ratio Solutions Group was born out of a desire to revolutionize the way women-led design firms approach business. I created Ratio for all the women who have been told the same old nonsense - you can't do things that way, just do what you're told, you have to work or raise your babies you can't do both, women belong at home - blah, blah, blah.
I quit my last 9 to 5 at 7 months pregnant with our second little boy and refused to look back. I quickly realized I needed to find smart ways to work and keep my business growing while also growing and raising tiny humans. I refused to settle - and you shouldn't settle either!! It's time for a paradigm shift - from constant hustle to sustainable growth.
Let's effectively and intentionally build your business to support the life you want to live.

THINGS I'm INTO RIGHT NOW:
Shaken iced brown sugar espresso, too many houseplants, gardening and learning to embroider.
Competition in our industry - gross. Working too many hours. Overwhelm. Reinventing the wheel.
FOUNDEr, President:
THINGS i'm OVER:
Not pictured: One husband asking where something is and 3 little boys finding some way to touch their mommy with sticky fingers.
Pictured: One incredibly happy woman who feels balanced and healthy.
