Sophie Tieman grew up with a paintbrush in hand, helping her parents flip houses in Tasmania. That love of property carried into a 15-year career in commercial real estate... until one night at 10pm when she decided to walk away from it all and build something completely new. 

In this episode of The Edit, Sophie tells Home Beautiful Editor-in-Chief Elle Lovelock about launching The Corporate Edit, a one-stop fashion shop for women in business, why she handed in her notice before telling anyone what she was building, and her honest advice for anyone sitting on an idea of their own. 

Plus, Sophie shares how she completely transformed a dark 1970s townhouse during COVID, how she’s making her new home with “good bones” feel like her own, and her best hack for making a narrow home feel twice the size.
