Tiny Little Cosmos

Guiding creative journeys through the great unknown

Tiny Little Cosmos is a creative studio for those charting bold new territory—artists, strategists, and visionaries alike.

Hi, I’m Deepthi. Tiny Little Cosmos is my studio for strategic planning, design facilitation, and media production.

Tiny Little Cosmos helps people and projects move through the world positioned for success. I work with artists, founders, strategists, and cultural leaders at moments of transformation—when the path forward isn’t obvious, and the stakes feel real. Tiny Little Cosmos blends visionary planning, storytelling, and design to bring ideas into alignment and motion.

TLC offers three core pathways:

  • Anchor & Action - strategic planning services for clarity, alignment, and momentum.

  • Plot & Pulse* - storytelling and production services for creative direction and audience engagement.

  • Tend & Transform* - design facilitation services for imaginative problem solving and innovation.

Whether you’re seeking focus, reshaping your message, or building something that invites others in, I would like to help you navigate what’s next—and make it beautifully real.

*Available through custom engagements.

What I Bring

I've spent two decades helping people turn sparks into structure—across storytelling, strategy, research, and design. I’ve worked with artists, founders, and big messy systems. I teach, I listen, I map the way forward. Whether you're mid-pivot or just beginning, I can help you find your next step.
