How to Become an Up and Coming Interior Designer and Design for Wellbeing

From 41 £ /h

This class is for aspiring interior designers. The focus is to learn how to become an interior designer that not only designs beautiful interiors but designs spaces that are nurturing, intuitive and functional.

In these sessions you will explore the boundaries of interior design which considers a client's space, lifestyle, and the art of storytelling, as I always believe that spaces should walk you through the journey and tell the story of the people who live and work in them. You will learn how to design aesthetic spaces that are intuitive, functional, and nurturing. From brief to completion, you will learn how to carefully curate a selection of furniture, finishes, floristry, accessories, art and even scents, to unearth your design story. You will also learn how to collaborate with your client at each stage, taking into consideration the brief, location, and their personal taste.

Mastering software only requires good supervision, that's why I offer this training to better guide you and help you produce a project from A to Z, from drawing plans to rendering photorealists of your project. Archicad and Lumion software are tools that will now make your job easier to better design the space.

Teaching Methodology in Interior Design:

-Teaching Techniques and Methods: I use a structured and personalized approach to foster creativity and understanding of key concepts. Lessons include hands-on projects in space design, materials, layouts, and ambiance, with case studies to strengthen analytical and creative skills. Teaching techniques also incorporate software use, such as Homestyler, Revit, SketchUp, AutoCAD, Lumion, and Adobe Suite.

-Typical Course Structure: Each class begins with a discussion to assess the student’s expectations. We then delve into the topic of the day, covering theoretical concepts, a practical exercise, and a critical analysis, followed by additional resources for further study.

-What Sets Me Apart as an Instructor: My international experience offers a broad perspective on design trends. I emphasize creativity while providing a solid foundation and a supportive, yet rigorous teaching style.

-Target Audience: My courses are designed for high school students, early university students in architecture or design, and anyone looking to discover or deepen their understanding of interior design.
