Steps to start my own interior design business
Hi!
I'm 24 years old and from London. I recently decided to switch careers after a few years in corporate, and started by enrolling in the Professional Interior Design diploma at the National Design Academy. I'm still quite early on in the course, but I'm really eager to expand my knowledge and skillset at a fast pace as I'm not working at the moment. My end goal is to freelance, specifically residential projects.
At this point in time, what should I be doing other than the course? Who exactly should I be networking with? What else exactly should I be learning? I know it might seem like an obvious question but with so many resources out there, I want a tangible and solid plan of action to work towards my goal. Atm I'm trying to find assistant-type roles to complement my diploma and get some hands-on experience.
Thanks!
