Chicago Interior Design Studio Projects $168,000 Revenue
After pivoting from a corporate tech role to full-time entrepreneurship, designer Abigail Morris is expanding her interior design firm with a focus on historic properties.
Abigail Morris, founder of Chicago-based Abigail Morris Interiors, has transitioned to full-time entrepreneurship following a corporate layoff in late 2024. The firm, which initially operated as a side business starting in 2022, specializes in interior design for historic properties.
During its first year of operation, the business generated approximately $48,000 in net income. Morris, who previously balanced the studio with a career in the technology sector, leveraged the change in employment status to increase her firm's output and client acquisition.
The studio is currently on track to reach $168,000 in revenue for the current year. Looking ahead, internal projections suggest the business will reach approximately $100,000 in annual net earnings by 2026 as it establishes a larger presence in the local market.
