Thinking about becoming an interior designer but not sure where to start?
In this video, I answer the questions I get asked most about how to become an interior designer — including whether you need a degree, whether interior designers need AutoCAD, how to build a portfolio without experience, how to get your first client and how much interior designers can actually earn.
If you’re considering an interior design career, especially as a career changer, this should give you a much clearer picture of what the route can actually look like.
You don’t necessarily need to follow the traditional degree → junior job → years of experience route.
There are many ways into residential interior design depending on whether you want to work for a design firm, find your own private clients or eventually build your own interior design business.
