I came in knowing nothing about interior design. Twelve weeks later, I'd styled my first client's living room and got paid for it. The hands-on approach made all the difference.
The Business of Design course gave me the confidence to register my studio and price my work properly. I've tripled my revenue in the year since graduating.
As a homeowner, the Weekend Workshop on colour palettes transformed how I see my own home. I've since redecorated three rooms myself — and my friends keep asking who designed them!
Not for the Fundamentals or Home Styling courses — they're designed for absolute beginners. The Business of Design course is best for people with some design background.
