SERVING WOMEN ARCHITECTS, INTERIOR DESIGNERS, ENGINEERS AND CONTRACTORS
The TLDR bio:
From Architectural Apprentice (fancy title for an unpaid intern) 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.
