Featured Presenter
Rebecca West, CEO of Seriously Happy Coaching & Consulting
With two decades of experience leading Seriously Happy Homes, Rebecca West is a sought-after industry expert known for designing happy homes for everyday people—rather than focusing on the
wealthy 1%. You may have seen her regular appearances on New Day Northwest, her features on
Seattle Refined or at Ignite, or found her mentioned in Success Magazine, Seattle Magazine, and more.
After closing her design studio and moving to Paris, Rebecca shifted her focus to coaching the next
generation of designers. As a business coach and sales strategist, she teaches designers how to master their marketing, set professional boundaries, and create systems that keep projects on track.
With an approachable-but-focused coaching style, Rebecca helps designers get paid for their expertise, not just for selling products or managing projects.
Rebecca regularly teaches with NKBA, serves on the board of Heritage Design School, and hosts the podcast Stuff Interior Designers Need to Know. But she’s not all business—Rebecca can’t resist a costume party or a cat video, enjoys sipping whisky, and loves a great thunderstorm!
