A creative studio for moments of transformation

Tiny Little Cosmos (TLC) is a creative storytelling studio that helps artists, founders, and creative teams turn ideas into action. TLC combines strategic planning, storytelling, and design to create materials and plans that connect with real people and inspire results.

From crafting pitch decks and launch messaging toolkits to building one-page websites or guiding vision-to-action sessions, TLC’s work bridges clarity and creativity. Every project starts with understanding your story and ends with insights, tools, and strategies that you can use immediately.

TLC has partnered with organizations and clients across the globe — from cultural institutions and social impact foundations to startups and solo creators — helping them clarify their message, amplify their voice, and engage audiences with confidence.

Philosophy

  • Structure doesn’t limit creativity; it unlocks it.

  • Strategy should honor instinct, not override it.

  • Imagination is a form of intelligence.

  • Trust is earned through transparency, consistency, and reciprocity.

Values

  • Mutual respect — I work with people who treat others with patience, empathy, and integrity.

  • Positivity with purpose — I value solutions over cynicism and creativity over complacency.

  • Collaboration over ego — The best ideas emerge when everyone’s voice matters.

  • Shared responsibility — Great results are built together.

Hi, I’m Deepthi. I founded TLC to work with artists, founders, and creative teams navigating the unknown — when the path forward isn’t obvious, and the stakes feel real. My vision is to create powerful, impactful work in an environment of mutual respect and possibility. I believe that creativity flourishes when people feel safe, seen, and valued.
