As Featured In
My story
Hi, I’m Marilisa Barbieri! I work primarily as a luxury business consultant, sharing everything I’ve learned after 15+ years of experience in the luxury design industry in North America working for top French and Italian luxury brands. My time in the industry has helped me develop a refined understanding of quality and aesthetics and a strong knowledge of what it takes to succeed in the luxury business, whether your niche is jewelry, fragrance, home decor, or fashion.
As a luxury business expert with an MBA and Interior Design & Arts degree, I coach design professionals and entrepreneurs to identify opportunities, launch new collections, create an effective sales conversion process, scale their design business, and increase revenue. I work across 10+ fields, each with its unique opportunities and challenges: interior design, furniture and home decor, tableware and gifts, leather goods and textiles, heritage craft, jewelry, gourmet food, niche travel experiences, boutique hospitality, wellness, beauty, etc.
Besides being featured in the Forbes Expert Panel and Entrepreneur as one of their “Featured Voices”, I have also collaborated with global design authorities like Maison & Object in Paris, Business of Home, the D&D Building, the Pacific Design Center of Los Angeles, and NY NOW.
I am passionate about sharing my expertise and business secrets with creative professionals all over the globe and offering online courses, teaching webinars, doing 1:1 consultations, speaking at conferences, conducting training programs, and providing mentorship or advice to entrepreneurs who want to learn how to start a luxury brand business.
