Content, Courses + Community for Design Professionals
Hi, I’m Clare! 👋🏻
🏡 I’m the founder of The Little Design Corner.
😄 I’m a designer, educator and Mum of 3 boys (one with profound disabilities).
🤓 I have a PhD in business but left the corporate world 10 years ago to pursue my dreams of starting my own interior design business.
👩🏻🎓 I worked as a designer with clients 1:1 for about 6 years but started to get more and more questions about how I was running my business and creating my designs (and also got sick of working with clients!).
🚀 So I started creating online courses and resources that would allow me to support other designers and architects who wanted to start, grow and scale their own profitable design/build/creative businesses.
🤑 And in 10 years I've gone from working for free for a few friends to creating an 8-figure business that now makes money while I sleep.
🏃♂️ I'm also a very normal (busy) mother :) - if I can grow a successful business, you can do it too!
☕️ I have taken a long and winding road to get to where I am today - my aim is to share helpful stuff so you can get there faster than I did!
🥳 I take a unique approach to online education - and I pride myself on making my courses fun and engaging.
👩🏻💻 My ultimate goal is to help designers and architects build profitable businesses that they enjoy working in.
Here’s a bit about the business I’ve built:
If you’re new to my community here are a few places you may like to start:

Learn how to model in 2D and 3D with my SketchUp + Layout courses for interior design.

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 online business, I am no longer working with interior design clients.
