Mauricio’s Answer

Dear Anita from Arizona,

Here’s in short what you need to know. Interior design combines creativity and practicality to make spaces functional and beautiful. You'll work with furniture, colors, lighting, and layouts. Focus on your portfolio to showcase your best work and unique style, software skills like AutoCAD, SketchUp, and Photoshop for detailed plans and realistic images and learn how to communicate with different kind of clients.

Check out "In with the Interior Design Crowd" by Lucy Painter. This book explains what studios want in different roles, from junior designers to partners.

May the force be with you!

Pam’s Answer

Excellent query! Let me explain this broadly, considering the numerous branches of design you could select, including residential, commercial, hospitality, medical, educational, and possibly others I might not have mentioned. Regardless of your choice, you'll need certain educational abilities such as written and verbal communication, presentation, organization, computer software, and naturally, a comprehensive understanding of all artistic aspects.

You should possess an inherent ability to visualize space, color, and proportion, coupled with a profound comprehension of their combined effect. It's crucial to learn how to listen to people's needs and wishes, as your ultimate goal is to impress them with your skills and have them recommend you to others.

Believe in yourself and your creative pursuits. If you're anything like me, you'll find yourself in a lifelong love affair with all things artistic.

Pam recommends the following next steps:

Visit design firms or business' that offer design to find out what they do, their challenges and how they got there.
