Strategic Clarity & Accountability
for Design-Led Businesses
We support interior designers, architects, landscape architects, lighting designers, showrooms, and other design-led businesses across the built environment with strategic guidance and consistent accountability.
Strategy and accountability to support clear decision-making and consistent momentum.
The Reality of Running a Design-Led Business
Running a design-led business means making constant decisions — about clients, people, priorities, and growth — often without the space to slow down and think clearly.
Your work is creative and personal.
Your leadership decisions carry real weight.
Most business owners don’t need more ideas.
They need clarity, prioritization, and accountability to follow through.
What We Do
19th & Co. provides ongoing strategic support and accountability for design-led business owners. We help you:
clarify what actually matters in your business right now
make confident, well-timed decisions
prioritize without second-guessing yourself
stay accountable to the work that moves things forward
maintain momentum through change and complexity.
This is strategic partnership built for the realities of running a design-led business.

you’re running a design-led business and making complex decisions regularly and
you want clearer priorities and stronger follow-through

“As the BD landscape continues to change, 19th & Co helped us define what business development actually means for our firm today. Their practical, tailored approach brought clarity, structure, and momentum to how we grow.”
Robert Brown - Atlanta, GA 
“What began as leadership coaching evolved into a true operational partnership. 19th & Co helped me zoom out, delegate with confidence, and build structure that supports how I want to run and grow my business.”
Casey Howard - San Francisco, CA
“At a critical growth moment, 19th & Co helped me restructure my business - identifying the right systems, defining roles, and creating accountability so the firm could run without everything flowing through me. That operational shift allowed me to step back, trust my team, and lead more effectively.”
