CURATE A LIFE BY DESIGN

Learn how to build a profitable design & decor business

Catherine Cornelissen

Hi there! I’m Catherine

Like so many women, I've always known that my dreams could never fit inside a box. So in 2016, armed with nothing but a vision, a meagre Wordpress blog, and a walk-in closet full of courage, I leapt from being an Undergraduate student (and soon to be a Master’s student) into a business of my own. 

And in the biggest surprise ever — it worked. Like, really worked. Since 2016, I’ve built a furniture & decor dropshipping business, partnering with some of my favourite (and the best) brands and designers across the world. And I’ve scaled this “creative side hustle” into a 6-figure business. 

Curious about how you can find this same level of freedom and passion for yourself too? Don’t worry. I’ve got you. I teach women how to build a furniture & decor dropshipping business and get their first sale in under month. Because you deserve to live a life by your own design.

What is the Design Dropship Academy?

DDA (Design Dropship Academy) blends your passion and innate style with a smart, passive business model and hands-on guidance. It’s basically a blueprint to building a successful dropshipping design & decor business.

3 Key Pillars

DDA revolves around three key pillars which are crucial to the success of any online business starting with monetising your passion with your own existing style. Once we’ve established your style and USPs (Unique Selling Points), it’s fundamental to follow a proven, scalable and credible business model that offers leverage and be guided by a blueprint designed for success.

  • Let’s start with YOUR style that’s already innate and unique to you. This is the premise or your business. Let’s create a business that stems from your screenshots, scrapbook and Pinterest boards.

  • Dropshipping is one of the few business models that allows you to build and have control over your own brand while leveraging your time. When set-up correctly, you can earn money while you sleep with as much or as little involvement as you like.

  • Let my hindsight be your foresight. I’ll show you how to create a website from scratch, source products and build a business from first hand experience of building a 6-figure business.

  • Working with Catherine is a dream. Catherine brings a positive, encouraging and enthusiastic energy that is so contagious. She uplifts people and breathes life into their dreams and aspirations. She's your number one cheerleader!
