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 (along with Layout that comes with SketchUp Pro) is the software that I use every single day in my design business to create drawings that can be used to guide client projects.

My clients love how their designs are presented in 3D so they can clearly see how their homes will look once their renovation has taken place. Plus I've had builders (contractors) tell me that my 2D drawing sets (created in Layout) are some of the most detailed and helpful that they've ever worked from.

Over the 10+ years of using SketchUp and Layout 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 my business. It would have saved my hundreds of hours of searching YouTube videos and making lots of mistakes, rather than doing the fun stuff (creating awesome designs!). 

This course has been made to help design professionals and enthusiasts learn SketchUp + Layout 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 5557+ students who are learning Layout 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.

What students are saying…

Is this course the right fit for you?

 This course is for you if:

  • You already know how to use SketchUp and are ready to start working in Layout (if you aren’t already confident in SketchUp then start with our BEGINNERS COURSE instead).

  • You are a designer, decorator or stylist and want to create professional looking designs and presentations for your clients

  • You love decorating and interior design and want to learn how to design custom models that you can use with builders, trades, clients or even just to show your family! :)

  • You are a home renovator or remodeller and want to save money on design fees by creating the designs yourself.

  • You have some time to put towards the course content and weekly activities (a few hours a week).

  • You don't have time to piece together your SketchUp training by watching YouTube videos. You want someone to clearly show you the way to great designs.

  • You are excited to learn something new!

This course is NOT for you if:

  • You want one on one training. Although you will get support via our live Q&A sessions, on the whole this is a self-directed learning course.

  • You have no time to put towards the course work or weekly activities that we set for you to complete.

  • You are not interested in design.

  • You don't like having fun :)
