EVER WISH ALL YOUR BUSINESS QUESTIONS COULD BE ANSWERED?

Ever sat there at your desk at 10pm on a Friday night wondering ‘how the heck do other designers do this?’

How much do I charge? And what exactly do I deliver to the client?

How do I snag clients that have healthy budgets?

Why, oh why does my client shop me?

And the eternal head-scratcher: Why am I not rolling in the dough when I'm practically living at my workspace, busting my creative chops 'round the clock?

These are the questions I dive into about with designers week in and week out. Literally.

For the first time I’m offering coveted spots to sit with me for a tête-à-tête about your business. In person or virtually, you choose what works for you.

LET’S TALK:

HOW DO YOU WANT TO WORK TOGETHER?

Let’s talk over a coffee about what is happening in your business. Come take a seat on my sofa (it’s like therapy but for design business owners) in my Ivanhoe East home and we will discuss all aspects of your business in one hour session.

You can choose to capture this session in a voice memo to refer to later. There will be a lot packed into this session, let’s stay firmly in the moment.

We meet online to talk about what is pressing right now in your business. You can share your screen to show me what’s going on and I can share with you a peek inside my business Sisalla.

This session is recorded with a file sent to you afterwards. You can watch again to fully take in the learnings. Session is one hour.

Let me help you set up your design process, systems, fees, and pricing methods. We work on the best strategy to suit your business and attract your favourite client. I can put you in touch with all of my best contacts so that you can straighten out your contract, accounting, book-keeping, branding etc.

We meet fortnightly and I will gently push you along so that you can make real progress in your business.

You get access to the wealth of knowledge inside The Design Society (your mind will be blown to bits) and the cool community of designers inside.

Lauren Li, Founder of Sisällä Interior Design, The Design Society & Author

Want to know what lights me up? Helping other women live a creative life, win great projects, get published and charge more for sharing their design talents with their clients.

I created The Design Society so that we can pass on knowledge. I’m your mentor if you want to learn from someone that has actually done it and still doing it. Because we never stop learning.

I’ve been around the block a few times. I have more than 20 years of experience as an interior designer working across the residential, retail, and commercial sectors. I’ve worked in leading architecture practices in Melbourne and London.

I’m fully qualified and hold a Bachelor of Design, Interior Design (Honors) from Swinburne, and a Diploma of Arts, Interior Design & Decoration from RMIT. I also hold the Training and Assessment Cert IV, which means that I am qualified to teach.

Sisalla is our family business. I design and my husband works as the CEO, CFO and procurement manager (we wear many hats). And yes, we are one of those weird couples that actually LOVES working together. We can’t believe how lucky we are to work on gorgeous projects for great clients in between school drop-offs and holding the baby.

Sisällä’s projects have been recognised by several awards programs, including the Australian Interior Design Awards, and as a five-time finalist of House & Garden's Top 50 Rooms. I’m published in Vogue Living, Belle, Real Living, Elle Decoration UK etc. I write the interior design column for The Design Files.

I can also add author as I’m releasing two books in 2023, which are published by Thames & Hudson.

Always one to share my passions in the hope that we can elevate the interior design industry and go GREAT work for our clients.

If you’re read this far, then THANK YOU!
