Why did I choose Interior Design:
I chose this program because of my great passion for interior design. Eversince I was a kid, I've always loved decorating our house and sketching houses. And it's a dream for me to become one of the best interior designers in the country.
About my college education:
Over-all, studying Interior Design is really challenging and fun at the same time. It's a really a test of putting your imaginations into concrete designs. Doing plates requires a lot of time, and most of the times, sleep is sacrificed just to finish a plate. To succeed in this course, one must have the passion for it. Come with this passion are patience and perseverance. If you're not patient with what you do, then you cannot come up with a satisfying work.
My current job:
I am working as a design consultant in a construction firm. I also work as part-time interior designer for other clients.
Am I using what I learned in college:
I am really thankful for my school and my professors for everything they have taught me back in school. I'm now applying everything I have learned, from doing floor plans, applying ergonometrics, and designing in a scientific point of view.
How long did it take to find a job:
I got the job right after I graduated. The company is in need of a design consultant and I took my chance and got myself the position.
Do I recommend studying Interior Design:
I would recommend this course to everyone who has a passion for it. A lot of career opportunities await, from designing houses, offices, hospitals, airports, mall window displays, the options are limitless. Every project is different with another since you're dealing with different clients. As for the salary, let's just say the bigger the project the bigger the compensation.
Advice to people who are thinking of studying this course:
If you're planning to take up Interior Design, be prepared for sleepless nights. Patience could really help you go a long way. There would be times when you'll run out of ideas due to lack of sleep but always find a way to keep your ideas flowing. If this could be any of help, take vitamins as well. :)
