I know how to get you there!
I know you didn’t step into the world of interior design to spend hours tangled in logistics, sourcing, and all the nitty-gritty challenges of running a business. You started because you have a unique talent for transforming spaces, a vision that brings life to any room you touch. But between sourcing quality materials, juggling client expectations, and handling all the admin, it’s easy to feel like your dream job is slipping into a daily grind. Guess what? It doesn’t have to be this hard.
Hi, I'm Rikaza Shakeer!
International Business Expansion Coach For Interior Designers and Owner of The HouZe of Treasure FZE - LLC Fit Out Studio
I help ambitious and enthusiastic interior designers double their profit in just 90 days or less so that they can enjoy a stress-free life while their businesses grow exponentially.
Growing up in a community where girls weren’t always encouraged to venture outside, stepping into the world of interior design and entrepreneurship was a big leap for me.
After living and working in Dubai for almost 16 years, my family and I built a beautiful home in my hometown, Kandy, Sri Lanka.
But as an interior designer, I quickly realized how challenging it was to source quality design materials locally. There was a noticeable gap in the market, especially when it came to accessible, high-quality interior products.
Determined to make a difference, I opened The HouZe of Treasure, in a small space beneath a cozy coffee shop in Kandy. I poured my heart into it and continued creating beautiful spaces that reflected my clients unique touch and feel.
Over time, my hard work paid off, and I was able to expand into a larger, more equipped showroom.
But as we grew, transportation and supply challenges made it difficult to serve clients in Kandy’s outskirts, so I relocated to Colombo, where I continued to build my skills and refine my vision.
As Sri Lanka went through turbulent times, like many other businesses, mine was affected. Yet, my passion for interior design remained strong.
But our journey doesn’t stop there...
I know the challenges you’re facing because I’ve been there too...
The truth is, getting to this point has been anything but smooth. In those early years, I felt like I was constantly struggling. Late nights, endless client demands, and never charging quite what my work was worth.
I remember thinking, "Is this really what running a design business looks like?"It felt like no one understood the pressure, the struggle, or the sheer exhaustion. If you’re feeling like this, believe me, I understand.
One day, after a particularly tough week, it hit me: I was working harder than ever but not seeing the reward. I was charging too little, giving too much, and feeling burnt out. That moment was a wake-up call.
I realized that my business wasn’t sustainable as it was, and if I wanted it to succeed, I needed to make a change. So, I committed to building a business that respected my time, valued my expertise, and allowed me to thrive both personally and professionally.
Now, I’m here to help you do the same. To show you the ropes and help you avoid the mistakes and traps I’d unknowingly stepped into. You may have a lot of questions as you navigate the world of interior design. You may not even know where to begin when it comes to managing clients, handling finances, or balancing the creative side with the business side. But I’m here to tell you that there’s a way forward, and you don’t have to do it alone.
If you’re reading this and nodding along, I want you to know that it’s not just you. So many talented interior designers feel undervalued, overwhelmed, and unsure of how to create a business that truly supports them. I know that success isn’t just about talent alone; it’s about having the right support, systems, tools and mindset to make your business thrive.
I believe every designer deserves the chance to focus on their creativity without feeling bogged down by the business side of things. That's why I want to support you as you build a business that’s truly aligned with your vision and goals.
