TALD (an abbreviation for Things a Little Differently) is an American technology company that operates an online marketplace and matchmaking platform for interior design services. The platform functions as a two sided marketplace where users can search for designers, view portfolios, book video consultations, and hire professionals for design projects.[1] Lounched in 2024, the platform connects homeowners and business clients with professional interior designers through collections of designer work examplesand consultation services.[2]
History
[edit]TALD was founded by Emily Shapiro, who transitioned to the design industry from a career in commercial real estate.[1][3] TALD developed from an e-commerce project founded during the COVID-19 pandemic that sold home goods from independent artisans. After observing that professional interior designers represented a significant portion of the customer base, founder Emily Shapiro transitioned the business into a service oriented platform. The current model is designed to facilitate communication and project management between clients and design professionals.[1]
The platform officially launched in early 2024 with an initial roster of 32 designers across 15 states.[1]
