Miriam Saadati is the founder of Your Interior Design Coach (YIDC) and brings nearly 20 years of professional interior design experience to every client interaction. Holding a BA in Interior Design from the Interior Designers Institute, Miriam created YIDC specifically for homeowners, long-term renters, Airbnb and Vrbo hosts, contractors, and real estate agents across the Bay Area who feel overwhelmed or stuck with design decisions.
