Day at Work: Interior Designer

"Visiting a client's house and seeing how they are living in these spaces after I am done, it's very fulfilling. --Soledad A.
"Interior designers make interior spaces functional, safe, and beautiful by determining space requirements and selecting decorative items, such as colors, lighting, and materials. They read blueprints and must be aware of building codes and inspection regulations, as well as universal accessibility standards.
Employment of interior designers is projected to grow 4 percent from 2014 to 2024, slower than the average for all occupations. ... Employment of interior designers in specialized design services firms is projected to grow 8 percent from 2014 to 2024." -- US Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics

Thanks farooq. Do you have any specific questions? We just released this video and are hopeful to see thoughts and insights from other students and industry professionals here in the comments soon.

No questions. It will be nice to see the Designer working on a real project like clips from what a real project with a client goes on like and challenges that he/she faces. Nevertheless its a great video.
