Welcome to the world of Interior Design, where creativity meets functionality to shape the spaces in which we live, work, and interact.

Interior design is much more than selecting colors, furniture, and decorative elements. It is the art and science of creating environments that enhance comfort, productivity, well-being, and quality of life. A well-designed space can improve mood, optimize functionality, reflect personal or corporate identity, and increase the value of a property.

Whether designing a home, office, hotel, restaurant, healthcare facility, or retail space, interior designers must balance aesthetics, ergonomics, technical requirements, building regulations, sustainability, and client expectations.

This course is designed to provide students with a solid understanding of interior design principles and professional practices, guiding them through the complete design process from concept development to project execution.

--What You Will Learn:

* The role and responsibilities of an Interior Designer
* Fundamental principles of interior design
* Space planning and functional layout design
* Color theory and material selection
* Furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) selection
* Lighting design and its impact on spaces
* Interior design styles and design trends
* Technical drawings, plans, elevations, and sections
* Building codes and design regulations
* Client briefing and project development
* Budget management and design specifications
* 2D drafting using AutoCAD
* 3D modeling and visualization techniques
* Introduction to BIM and Revit workflows
* Professional presentation techniques
* Site supervision and project coordination
* Portfolio development and career opportunities in interior design

By the end of this course, students will have the knowledge and practical skills needed to approach interior design projects with confidence, creativity, and professionalism.

Online University Art and Design Portfolio Preparation.

Are you applying to university for a creative subject?

I offer personalised one-to-one online portfolio mentoring for students applying to art and design courses in the UK and internationally.

I am an experienced art educator, graphic designer and researcher with more than 30 years of teaching experience. Most recently, I taught international students at EF Academy Oxford, supporting learners from a wide range of cultural and educational backgrounds.

I am based in Oxford and can support students in university portfolio preparation to study Art, Graphic Design, Graphic Communication Design, Fashion Design, Architecture, Interior Design, Illustration, Photography, Textile Design, Product Design, Animation, Foundation Art and Design, and other creative programmes.

My guidance may include:

1- Developing original ideas and personal themes.
2- Strengthening sketchbooks and creative processes.
3- Developing creative ideas and experimenting with materials and techniques.
4- Strengthening drawing, painting, design and visual communication skills.
5- Selecting, refining and presenting work for university portfolios.
6- Personal-statement and interview preparation.
7- Understanding the expectations of UK art and design courses.

My approach is supportive, honest and individually tailored. I help students recognise what is already strong in their work and understand how to develop it further.

Portfolio preparation requires regular effort, so I work best with motivated students who are prepared to engage seriously with the creative process.

Online lessons are available internationally.

I provide practical, one-to-one training in Autodesk Inventor and Autodesk Vault, focused on helping students understand the software and apply it effectively to real engineering work.

The training can be adapted to your current level and objective. We can work through Autodesk Inventor concepts step by step, or take a completely hands-on approach where you create your own models while I guide you, identify issues, explain better methods and share practical modelling and engineering best practices.

For Autodesk Inventor, topics can include part modelling, assemblies, drawings, design intent, modelling strategies, constraints, parameters, design changes and general CAD best practices. If you already have experience with Inventor, we can focus on improving your modelling approach, solving specific problems or reviewing your existing work.

For Autodesk Vault, we can focus on understanding document and design data management, file organisation, versioning, revisions, check-in/check-out, working with CAD data and practical workflows for managing engineering files.

The lessons are not based on a fixed syllabus. I adapt each session to what you actually need to learn or solve. You can also bring your own model, exercise, project or specific problem and we can work through it together.

I have more than 14 years of experience working at the intersection of engineering, manufacturing, CAD, PDM and PLM, so the focus is not only on which button to click, but also on understanding why a particular approach is useful in an engineering environment.

The lessons are suitable for students, engineering professionals, designers and anyone who wants to improve their practical Autodesk Inventor or Vault skills.

Architecture drawing & portfolio preparation — one-on-one online

Learn to draw like an architect. Whether you're preparing for an entrance exam, building an application portfolio, or simply want your sketches to look like they belong in a studio, I'll get you there.

I'm Aliya. I have an architecture degree and nine years of teaching experience — over 1,385 lessons with students in more than 20 countries, from complete beginners to applicants who went on to get accepted.

What we cover:

Freehand drawing — the foundation every admissions committee looks for
Linear and one-, two- and three-point perspective
Constructing buildings and interiors from imagination, not just from reference
Light, shadow and tonal work that gives drawings depth
Rendering in pencil, ink, marker and watercolour
Entourage — trees, figures, cars, the details that make a sketch feel alive
Composition and page layout for portfolio presentation
Fast sketching under exam conditions

I offer personalized online 1:1 tutoring for anyone who wants to create a strong, original and professionally presented architecture portfolio.

For high school students applying to architecture school, I guide the complete development of an admission portfolio—from discovering personal interests and generating creative project ideas to observational drawing, conceptual thinking, experimentation, model-making and final page design. No previous architectural experience is required. Together, we build a portfolio that demonstrates curiosity, imagination, creative potential and an authentic personal voice.

For architecture students applying to a Master’s degree, the tutoring focuses on presenting a higher level of intellectual and creative thinking. We develop a clear portfolio narrative while strengthening research, analysis, conceptual development, transdisciplinary connections, architectural experimentation and visual communication. The portfolio is carefully adapted to the character and expectations of the selected universities.

For graduates and professionals seeking architectural employment, I help create a focused professional portfolio that can attract the attention of leading architecture firms. We select and improve the strongest projects, clarify your individual and team contributions, and present your technical abilities through plans, sections, construction details, diagrams, models and visualizations. We also work on personal branding, graphic consistency, storytelling and the immediate visual impact of the portfolio, helping you communicate your value quickly and improve your chances of securing an interview and being hired.

Every student receives a completely individual process based on their goals, experience, application deadlines and target universities or architecture offices. You may begin with no portfolio, bring an unfinished one, or ask for a professional review and improvement of an existing portfolio.

I am an architect, artist, author, former Head of an Architecture Department and international lecturer with more than 25 years of experience in architecture, design, creative education and portfolio development. My role is not to impose a generic style, but to help you discover what makes your work unique and transform it into a clear, memorable and convincing portfolio.
