A STRATEGIC BUSINESS RETREAT FOR INTERIOR DESIGNERS
DESIGN CAMP
AT THE AUSTIN PROPER
OCTOBER 13-16, 2025
THIS FALL AT THE AUSTIN PROPER HOTEL
Design Camp is a four-day, immersive retreat crafted for interior designers of all styles, backgrounds, and experience levels. Hosted by founders Anastasia Casey and Lindsey Borchard, alongside a celebrated lineup of industry leaders, Design Camp offers an unparalleled opportunity to focus strategically on building a more profitable, resilient, and authentic business.
This October, step into the next chapter of your business—and your creative journey—with intention.
Join us this fall as we expand the Design Camp experience with a lineup of industry experts covering topics we’ve never explored before. In addition to our star-studded designer keynotes, including Jean Stoffer & Grace Start, Clara Jung of Banner Day, Marco Zamora of Zamora Design Studio and Tyler Farrell of Killowen Construction, our teams and seasoned strategists are offering our most robust curriculum to date.
Every detail of this luxury retreat is intentional—from the small, intimate group of campers to the inspired surroundings of the Austin Proper Hotel, designed by Kelly Wearstler. Working sessions are punctuated by shared meals, cocktail hours, and keynotes from the industry's most influential voices. You'll leave Camp with an actionable plan to build a design business that’s more profitable, fulfilling, and aligned with your true vision—plus a network of likeminded friends to support you for years to come.
