The Little Design Corner Story

Hi, I’m Clare! 👋🏻

In 2014 I walked away from a corporate career (and a PhD in business) to start a design studio from my dining table.

I had the creative skills I needed, but no idea how to run a studio profitably. I undercharged, took on the wrong clients and worked like crazy for almost no money.

Instead of quitting, I used my business background to build systems, processes and tools that made my studio run like a real business. Clients were happier, projects flowed and my studio was profitable.

That’s when other designers started asking how I was doing it.

Answering those questions slowly transformed my design studio into something bigger...The Little Design Corner.

Today TLDC is an education business that’s helped tens of thousands of designers with courses, templates and systems to run profitable studios of their own.

The tools and trainings I sell at TLDC are the ones I used myself as a designer to save time, charge properly and stay ahead as the industry changes.

(If you're interested you can read more about my story HERE).

My work as a designer

My interior design work has been featured in a number of leading design magazines and publications including EST. living, Real Living, Adore Magazine, Homes+ and the HomesToLove website.

But these days, due to my commitment to my education business, I no longer work with interior design clients.
