These are the questions I learned to ask the hard way.
Every questionnaire in this bundle was written because something went sideways on a real project with a real client. A detail that got missed. A conversation that should have happened in week one and didn't happen until week eight. A client who was surprised by something I thought we had covered.
I spent years refining these questions — adding the ones that surfaced new problems, cutting the ones that didn't help, and organizing them room by room so they actually map to how a design project works in practice.
With 15+ years in high-end residential design across three continents, I've run enough projects to know exactly where the gaps are. These questionnaires close them.

Designers Who Got Organized
It's like having another top shelf designer on staff
I have been a designer for two decades and felt I knew how to organize my clients, but Kathleen's system has streamlined my business even more so. The initial client questionnaire has led to more in-depth discussions with my clients. It's like having another top shelf designer on staff.

A reference guide to make sure you haven't forgotten a step is invaluable
Return on Interiors has raised the professional level of my client management system. There are so many decisions to be made in each phase of construction and having a reference guide to make sure you have not forgotten a step is invaluable. I love showing up organized and ready for every job.

Would have taken me months or years to build on my own
A system like this would have taken me months, possibly years, to create on my own. The branded questionnaires have been extremely helpful in gathering all key information to deliver a successful design plan. The worksheets, quick reference guides, and checklists have allowed me to gain control of the design process.

Let's Talk It Through.
I'm an experienced designer. Will I actually learn anything new?
These aren't beginner questions. They're the questions that surface the details experienced designers know to look for — but that clients rarely volunteer. If you've ever been surprised mid-project by information you wish you'd had at the start, these questionnaires will change that.
I already have my own intake form. Is this different?
A general intake form catches the basics. These questionnaires go room by room, space by space, so nothing falls through the cracks based on the specific challenges of each area of the home. They're not a replacement for your process — they're a significant upgrade to it.
Can I customize these for my brand?
Yes — every questionnaire comes in Word, Pages, PDF, and Canva. The included walkthrough videos show you exactly how to brand them quickly. Most designers have them looking like their own in under an hour.
How do I use these with clients?
Send them ahead of the first meeting so clients arrive prepared, or work through them together on the discovery call. Either way, you control the conversation, surface the right details, and start every project with full clarity instead of guesswork.
Is the $249 a one-time payment?
Yes. One payment, immediate access, yours to keep and use forever with no ongoing fees.
One-Time Investment. Use It on Every Project Forever.
Every project you take on without the right questions is a project where you're starting with incomplete information. These questionnaires fix that, permanently, for every client you'll ever work with.

My Personal
Guarantee
These are the questions I use on my own projects. Every single one.
I didn't write these questionnaires for someone else's design practice. I wrote them for mine — and I refined them over 15 years of real projects with real clients. Every question earns its place because it surfaces something that matters.
If you have questions about how to use them or adapt them to your workflow, I'm here. You're not buying a download and figuring it out alone.
