Imagine having your own

Interior Design Business

filled with Happy Paying Clients who love everything that you design, and believe you're worth Every Single Cent

You can use your passion and natural gift as a respected, qualified interior design professional who creates beautiful interiors that enrich your client’s lives.

But Interior Design as a career requires a more important skillset than simply being able to create a pretty room.

 

You’re asking homeowners to trust in your knowledge of materials, spatial relationships, budgeting and of course, the  core principles of design, so your beautiful designs will remain timeless.

That's why it's so important to learn from successful professionals who have have spent years

"In an industry filled with regulated titles and certifications, to most interior designers trying to break into the business, it's easy to feel second rate."

Having a credential after your name will show your clients that you’ve gone the extra step to responsibly learn your craft, and you should be treated as a respected Interior Design professional.

 

It’s a simple way to build trust and credibility with new design clients, and adds a strong sense of confidence to the designer who worries that they aren’t worthy of the title, “Interior Designer”.

 

More specifically, in our Certified IDP course you’ll learn;

  • Qualities & skills of an Interior Designer

  • Meeting your clients

  • Working with the team

  • Payment strategies and charging fees

  • Project management systems

  • Common design challenges

  • The user’s experience – sight, sound, smell, taste & touch

  • Setting up a website, blogging, and social media

  • Maintaining professional relationships

  • Preparing a portfolio

  • Marketing your business and Low cost marketing techniques

  • Choosing a surefire color scheme

  • Choosing and placing flooring, wall décor, window treatments, lighting, and furniture

  • Responsible sourcing of raw materials

  • Health & safety

  • Use of perspective

  • Pencil sketching and renderings

  • Mood boards

  • Brief history of modern Interior Design

  • Drawings & plans

  • Colors, accessories & their significance

  • Texture, patterns & fabrics

  • Six design principles:  Spatial relationships, proportion, scale, balance, line, and form

As a Certified Interior Design Professional you’re able to confidentially advertise yourself as an educated, experienced professional who can create beautifully designed rooms to enrich the lives of your clients.

 

If you’re interested in becoming such a professional, then I have one question for you…

Are you a “Doer"...or just a “Dreamer”?

(or…why you might want to get certified)

As a Certified Interior Design Professional, you'll know exactly what to do when you're faced with these difficult decisions, and have the confidence to tackle more complex designs.

We understand the qualifications that an independent residential designer needs in order to work as responsible, professional, and successful interior design professional.

 

We created a training program to bridge the gap between the strictly regulated government certification better suited for Interior Architects... and the untrained, independent residential designer who might carelessly make dangerous recommendations to their clients.

This is How the Program Works:
