Meet Our Founder
Stacey Sheppard is a freelance writer, journalist, professional content creator and multi-award-winning blogger who specialises in interior design. Her blog has ranked as one of the top 10 interior design blogs in the UK every year since 2012 and she was recently identified as one of the top 60 interior design influencers in the UK.
As well as creating content for her own blog, she works with brands large and small to help them craft compelling content that shares their story and engages their audience whilst ranking on search engines. Amongst others, she has worked with Samsung, Magnet Kitchens, Balsam Hill, Sainsbury’s, Valspar, Tesco, Black & Blum, Joseph Joseph, Rug Doctor, DFS, Dulux, John Lewis, Duravit, Nkuku and many more.
Stacey decided to start a coworking space in the South Hams for women after realising that working alone, from home was isolating and lonely and she needed interactions with others for the sake of her sanity and creativity. She works best when surrounded by like-minded individuals who inspire her to push herself outside her comfort zone. In search of her Tribe, and unable to find a coworking space that inspired her and that looked good, Stacey decided to set up her own. And The Tribe was born.
Over time, Stacey realised that her mission was much bigger than providing a beautiful space to work in and a gentle way to network for women who don’t feel comfortable attending traditional networking events. It became clear that women have specific barriers and challenges to starting and growing a business and she realised that coworking could be the perfect vehicle to help women dismantle at least some of these barriers.
In 2024, Stacey became a delegate for UN Women UK, the UK arm of the United Nations entity dedicated to gender equality and the empowerment of women. She took part in CSW68 and has applied to be a delegate again in 2025.
In September 2024, along with Fran Minifie, Stacey launched Athena magazine, a free digital magazine for women in business and female entrepreneurs in Devon,
