Interior Design Coach / Founder
Miriam Saadati is the founder of Your Interior Design Coach (YIDC) and brings a BA in Interior Design from the Interior Designers Institute along with nearly 20 years of hands-on experience. She created YIDC specifically for homeowners, long-term renters, Airbnb and Vrbo hosts, contractors, and real estate agents across Orange County, the Bay Area, and Las Vegas who are struggling with design decisions or simply don't know where to start. Miriam's approach is deeply collaborative—she asks the questions clients didn't know to ask, provides clarity where there was confusion, and helps craft actionable plans that work with existing budgets and timelines. Whether you're navigating a remodel, preparing a rental listing, or moving into a new home, Miriam brings the expertise and empathy to guide you every step of the way.
