I'm a designer, educator and mum of three boys (one with profound disabilities). I have a PhD in business, but ten years ago left my corporate job and started a design business from my dining table… with zero idea how to actually to do it!

Like most designers, I learned everything the hard way.

I undercharged. I said yes to nightmare clients and I worked 60 hours a week for peanuts.

I had no idea what I was doing! But I kept going.

I started putting systems in place. I used my business background to start running things properly. And slowly, I went from taking free jobs for friends to building an 8 figure design education business that became The Little Design Corner.

I've since taught over 14,000 students inside my SketchUp courses. Tens of thousands more have purchased my templates and toolkits and hundreds of thousands more have joined my online communities.

TLDC is about helping you future proof your business as the industry changes (fast!).

To do this I've built a powerful ecosystem that gives you:

• Business systems that stop the second guessing
• Project workflows that get you out of chaos
• Smart, realistic ways to integrate AI and automation into your workflow
• Tools and templates that actually help
• Business education made for designers by someone who’s done it

It's what I wish had existed when I started.

I’m not some overnight success story. I’ve built TLDC from scratch. I’ve made every mistake. And I know what it feels like to wonder if you can really turn your design skills into a business that pays you well and is enjoyable to work in.

If you’ve been wanting someone to show you how to actually run a profitable design business this is the place for you :)
