About DSU…
I have learned more about the BUSINESS of interior design in the past year than in all my years of business combined. My business has tripled in revenue in one year. I hired a part-time assistant allowing me to delegate the necessary, day-to-day operations so that I am able to focus on the clients and design…whether you are new to the interior design business or have been an interior designer for years, Gail Doby and DSU can help you. Invest in yourself, invest in your business, invest in your future! – Valerie Garrett, Macon, Georgia
