I’m Lisa. I made the scary jump from a corporate job to life as an Interior Designer. And, amongst all the surprised faces, and comments like “is that a real job?”, and “are you sure that’s a good idea?”, I’ve made it work – beautifully.
It takes a leap of faith to start something new – especially into an industry that can feel so closed off and secretive. I faced my fair share of challenges, and a lack of support, starting out.
I wanted things to change. I imagined a world where Interior Designers support each other – and now I’ve created it.
You don’t need me to teach you how to design, but I can guide you through the day to day challenges of life and work as an Interior Designer. With the right support, you can build the interior design business you’ve always dreamt of.
The joy of feeling seen and understood.

1:1 Consultancy to help your business fly.
As a busy Interior Designer, you don’t need all the information, just the right information at the right time. Whether you’re starting out or there are ‘sticky’ bits of your business, if you’re looking for something a bit more personal – a 1:1 session with me can help.
I don’t have a formula for running an Interior Design studio. There’s no silver bullet or fail safe 7-step process that I can give you (sorry).
It’s tough starting out. Launching is scary. It can be hard to get people to take you seriously – especially if you are leaving a high-paid job to “fluff cushions”.
Even years in, it might not be the business you dreamt of. Perhaps you’re not consistently doing work that you love, and you swing from fully booked to scraping around for the next project. It’s stressful and takes more hours than you ever imagined.
There is a way through. Use my knowledge and experience to design a business that works for you. I’ll guide and support you. Once you see that you have what it takes, you’ll be brimming with confidence and your business will thrive.
