A free, live 60-minute masterclass for designers, design grads and career-changers who want clients from anywhere. I went from friends-and-family projects to booked out all of 2026, and I'm showing you every step. Mistakes and money included.

Want a virtual design business? I'm talking to you.
Maybe you've been thinking about this for months. Maybe years. Find yourself below.
Whichever one you are, what you really want is to call your own shots and do work you're proud of. That's exactly why I built my business this way, and I want to show you how to build yours.
This is meIn one hour, you'll learn
Real stuff from my real business. No fluff, no theory, then a big live Q&A.
This is what virtual sounds like
"You totally nailed it!"
S.R."Oh my goodness, I'm blown away!"
D.A."You truly are the absolute BEST."
B.S."This feels like a YES."
E.T."I am OBSESSED with the new couch."
B.S."Really good call with this paint!"
K.B.Every one of these came from a client I never met in person. On the 19th I'll show you the process behind them.
The work that filled my calendar
All designed virtually, for real clients, from my desk on Vancouver Island.
Now booked out.
Hi! I'm Emily
Founder and lead designer of House of Daisy Design. I design homes across the US, Canada and beyond from my spot on Vancouver Island, and I built this whole business online. A few things you should know about me:
This was not a straight line
If you think you took too many detours to do this... babe, look at my resume.
- Age 18Design school in New York. Lasted one semester. The math scared me off.
- The safe choiceNursing. Moved to Canada, worked in healthcare for years. Secure on paper, miserable in real life.
- Sneaking backRefinished furniture. Opened a retail store with almost no money and figured it out as I went.
- 2022Design diploma from the Interior Design Institute. Then still wondered if I was "allowed" to charge.
- The cheap yearsTwo years designing for friends and family for basically nothing. Learned SO much. Made very little. Lol.
- 2023 to 2025Construction. Project coordination and design. Taught me what I did NOT want my days to look like.
- 2026All in on House of Daisy. Full time. Fully booked. Wild.
"The design industry is mostly set up for big budgets. I design for people who want to feel safe and at home in their own space, whatever their budget is."
My clients get the full plan, and the freedom to buy in their own time. Everyone deserves a home that feels like them. Virtual design is how I get to make that happen, and it can be how you do too.
Okay, be honest. What's holding you back?
Tap the one that feels most like you.

Questions you're too polite to ask
Still wondering something? DM me on Instagram. I actually answer.
Is it actually free?
Yep. And I'll be upfront: at the end I'll tell you about my Starter Kit. If it's not for you, no hard feelings. You'll still leave with a ton.
What time is it where I live?
Thursday, November 19 at 10am Pacific. That's 1pm Eastern, 6pm in the UK and 7pm in most of Europe. In Australia or New Zealand it lands early Friday morning, so register and catch the replay.
Do I need a design diploma or degree?
School helped me a lot, but it's not the only way in. Wherever you're starting from, come. Just know that some places have rules about which titles you can use, so check yours.
I'm a total beginner. Is this too advanced?
Nope! This whole thing is about starting. If you're further along, you'll still steal a bunch from my process and pricing mistakes.
Will there be a replay?
Register and I'll send it to you. But the content plan bonus is only for people who show up live, so come hang out!
Do I need to be on camera?
Nope. Come in your pajamas with your camera off. I'll be the one on camera (possibly also in pajamas).
