Hi, I'm Clare!
I'm an interior designer, educator and Mum of 3 boys.
I have a PhD in Business and worked in the corporate world for many years before starting my interior design business in 2013.
After working as an interior designer 1:1 with clients for many years I morphed my business in 2019 to an online education platform that helps other design professionals start and grow their business.
And since 2019 my business has grown enormously and now makes multiple 7 figures + per year via the sales of my online courses and business templates for designers.
SketchUp is the one piece of software that I used every single day in my design business to create drawings to guide client projects.
And over the 10+ years of using SketchUp I've learned so much about how to create and present my drawings.
I created this course because I wish it had been around when I had first started learning SketchUp. It would have saved me hundreds of hours of searching YouTube videos and making lots of mistakes, rather than doing the stuff I loved (creating my designs!).
This course has been made to help design professionals and enthusiasts learn SketchUp quickly and correctly so they can get up and running with it as fast as possible.
But this isn’t just any old boring online course - we have lots of fun along the way via surprise bonuses and content. And you will also be joining 7153+ students who are learning SketchUp alongside you.
Stop trying to figure it out on your own and come join our friendly community.
I can't wait to meet you on the inside of the course.
Clare :)
