Owner and Designer
I am an interiors and furniture designer.
I run a business and like all business owners I pay bills, write orders, make schedules and run errands. I meet with clients to discuss their projects- it's my job to translate their ideas into a real working home. I meet with my craftspeople (builders, painters, furniture makers etc.) to keep the design on target. I work on new ideas in my studio and I go out looking for new materials / ideas to use in projects.
Here's the first step for professionals
Look up! Be connected. Pay attention to how people live, how they move about a space and how that space could be perfected. Read everything you can get your hands on. Go to art galleries and architectural monuments. Just be aware of how interior design affects you.
