We help homebuilders turn their home personalization experience into a powerhouse that:
Eliminates operational headaches
Turns customers into raving fans
Drives home sales and even more profit on every home you sell
From team training to studio creation and everything in between, our business is helping you grow yours through the strategy of design.
Where every decision about your personalization
process begins with strategy in mind. The result?
We are the industry’s leading experts in helping homebuilders find, fix and monetize the untapped potential in their design studio (or design collections) experience.
Here’s how we can help you:
Sell More Homes
As buyers become more discerning and slower to buy, it’s essential that builders provide a compelling case for why buyers should act now — and why they should build with you.
With strategies you can implement quickly (and with minimal friction) to help you sell more homes, BOOST!™ is the edge you’ve been looking for.
BOOST!™ is for builders who want to discover strategies to leverage their existing personalization experience as a tool to sell more homes, even in challenging market conditions.
Train Your Design Team
Access world-class, industry-leading online training for your design studio team and elite-level support for managers.
We make it easier than ever to upskill your team with online training that has been expertly created specifically for the design studio environment.
Training ensures your design studio consultants and managers have the skills, tools and support they need to deliver an exceptional, streamlined personalization experience that drives customer satisfaction and profit at every turn.
For ambitious managers/VPs looking to grow their impact and join Jane’s inner circle, we’ve also got a limited-availability, career-transforming, in-person event experience.

4 of 4: CLUB FOR DESIGN STUDIO MANAGERS-FLORIDA
On the last day of the CLUB for Design Studio Managers Florida event, we took a moment to focus on our well-being and personal growth.
Led by the amazing Sam Kabert, we engaged in some rejuvenating breathwork, meditation, and active listening exercises—a perfect way to recharge and ground ourselves after an inspiring few days. It was such a beautiful experience and way for us to all bond together before heading our separate ways. We invite you to join Sam’s free Breath Club , an online community with on-demand recorded breathwork exercises as well as live weekly guided breathwork sessions on Zoom. samkabert.com/club/
I’ll truly miss seeing the CLUB members and treasure our times together in Dallas and Florida during this 8-month program. Grateful for every moment shared with such an incredible group. We still have 2 more monthly video-conferences to go, so I love that we’re all still connected.
Here’s to continuing to take care of ourselves and each other, both inside and outside of the design studio.
Stay ahead of the game! Don't miss out on joining Jane Meagher, President of Success Strategies, and Dawn Duhamel, DTJ DESIGN’s Director of Business Development, on March 27th for our annual Design and Product Trends Presentation.
You’ll have to tune in to find out the trends that are “Everything, everywhere, all at once” as well as our four overarching 2025 Design Trends, but here’s a few more products we’re featuring.
Among the many awesome new MSI products we loved is their brand-new Decorative Wall Panels collection, featuring 10’ panels in 2 colors and with an in-demand textured 3-dimensional design, it’s an easy way for builders to offer dynamic accent walls. And speaking of fluted, MSI also wowed us with multiple new fluted tile lines, including one marble tile.
Great design is not only about the aesthetics, but also about how products are designed to perform. Shaw Floorss’ 2 new Pet Perfect Plus give customers all of that with gorgeous looks that move away from shiny to a more on-trend delustered visual AND protect against the famous 4 Ps , (Pee, Poop, Puke and Paws…and….you’re welcome for that!) with their Cheerful Essence and Calm Oasis lines.

CLUB 3 of 4: CLUB FOR DESIGN STUDIO MANAGERS-FLORIDA
More highlights from our 2nd in-person CLUB for Design Studio Managers event
As part of the CLUB’s focus on forming lasting professional connections, Thursday afternoon and evening in Florida was about fostering those critical bonds. We enjoyed a series of informative small group breakouts that allowed members to fully engage in discussions as they learned, and we wrapped the day with a reception to celebrate and connect.
Watch our French bartender in action in the video.
Thanks to the sponsoring partners who made this program possible (Dal Tile, Progress Lighting, Wolf Subzero Cove, Moen, Shaw Floors, MSI Surfaces, and ECI Solutions) and to the best group of Design Studio Managers and VPs who deeply engage in every interaction, whether at these in-person events, or at our remote sessions. Two more months to go, and I’m soaking up every wonderful moment of it!
Join us for this encore (and elongated) presentation of the annual Design and Product Trends Presentation.
Dawn and I will be unveiling the overarching design trends we discovered… and let me say that this year, there’s a lot of big and bold going on. Get ready for an exciting year in design.
Here’s just a tiny peek, you’ll have to tune in to see what we’re talking about. Daltile’s new Sovran marries the opulence of natural marble with the practicality of ColorBody porcelain, an expansive 24x48 size, and 8 bold Art Deco-inspired patterns- what more could you want? Dal Tile’s Eforea is an unapologetic declaration of style, and one of many products featuring some of the boldest patterns we’ve seen in years and years.
Progress Lighting’s Seville is a reimagination of texture featuring finely ridged architectural glass in black or soft gold, with a dramatic flair and eye-catching elegance. Talk about making a statement!
Wait ‘til you see what’s trending.
