My favourite thing about my job is seeing my clients’ faces light up once we have completed the changes. I once had a client who turned to me and said, “I think I no longer want to sell” after seeing her home set up for the photo shoot.

Meet new people. This is a profession that puts you in touch with interesting people and allows you to do interesting things.

Be rewarded for your knowledge. Interior designers also enjoy great professional benefits. For example it's common practice for professional designers to be offered valuable discounts on furnishings, decor, art, accessories and more. With the right knowledge you can also gain entry to "professional only" showrooms, exclusive trade shows and design expos.

Experience work freedom. This is an easy way to become self-employed whatever your current lifestyle. You can basically set your own schedule and work as much or as little as you choose. We'll show you how.
