Makers in Business with Liz Smith Ep 206 Swirly Designs by Lianne & Paul Stoddard

Meet Paul and Lianne Stoddard, the married couple behind Swirly Designs by Lianne and Paul! I had so much fun interviewing them both about how they run their business, what they did to accommodate a creative business while raising a family, and which kinds of advertising and promotion turned out to work for them. I think there's so much to learn in this episode plus Paul and Lianne are just good company. Take a look or listen!

  1. Your father and I just watched this episode, and we loved it. What a delightfully creative young couple, so hard working and charming. How great that they found a way to work together from home while their children are small.
    You asked all the right questions. Well done !

  2. Great interview, Liz! My husband and I met Lianne and Paul several years ago at a show in Boston. So happy to hear of their continued success.
