MEET YOUR GUIDES

Hi! We’re Laura and Melissa. We’re so glad you’re here.

Running our design firm in Houston and Aspen is a rewarding experience, but it isn’t without its challenges. For the past 15 years, Laura has been leading our award-winning firm (Laura U Design Collective), catapulting our work to the top of the industry.

And along the way, we realized that there isn’t a gold standard process for success in the creative world. There isn’t one place where we could go to find support, gain educational resources, and get advice on living the lifestyle we want.

That’s why we created Design Dash. This is the spot to download a design agreement template, while also gaining insight into the latest vendor merger. It’s a gathering place for talented creatives to network, learn, and support each other. We want to discover new ways to old things. We want to do it well – and beautifully!

With our framework of 4 business pillars – Vision, Voice, Team, and Finance – we have built a reliable path to success for any creative entrepreneur. Join us and transform your firm and your life.

Our four Pillars

Vision — This is your North Star. Use your “why” to set beneficial and real goals.
2
Voice — Craft your message to the RIGHT audience and have ideal clients flocking to your firm.
3
Team — Build a talented staff to provide an exceptional client experience.
4
Finance — Get excited about your bottom line. Support the life you deserve.
