  I work as a Senior Interior Designer for a firm and after 8 years of working for various design studios and the enormous level of stress. I am now ready to shift to freelance. Your videos are very helpful. Similarly to what someone else asked- do you have any tips on vidoes on how to manage the financial aspect ? Shall I consider having a part time job while starting out freelancing ? I’m still in my studio role and want to plan ahead :)

• 
  @SpaceForEdit16 күн бұрын

  Ohh, I know the feeling. Interior design job can be ridiculously stressful. Freelancing definitely felt less stressful in that aspect but it can get really challenging when there's no work coming in. That's one of the reasons why I stopped focusing on freelancing tbh. I'll speak about it on a video shortly. But in short- yes, have a part time job along your freelance biz if you can manage it. And focus on getting clients who can give you return business or some kind of contract for multiple months. That's how the most successful freelancers keep going 👍

  @cameliaewiss672512 күн бұрын

  Thank you! I love the job but I feel so stressed and burnt out these days and know that it’s not sustainable to be in my current position (with a very rude and shouty boss) for long so studying my options. What other route did you take other than freelancing ? Xx

• 
  @SpaceForEdit9 күн бұрын

  When I was thinking about resigning I also looked at some sales options. So maybe work for furniture, lighting or fabrics suppliers as I knew of some people who had done that. But it's not as creative as a designers job so I knew it wasn't an option for me.. there's project management too. But I think the real freedom comes from doing your own thing on your own terms, just takes time, patience and grind to get there 💫

  Love your videos too! I also just recently discovered your channel and there is so much amazing information on here, I hope you keep doing these! I do have a degree, but not in interior design. I don't think college does a good job of preparing anyone for their field of choice, unfortunetly. It's definitely the on the job training that does. As far as education goes here in the US it ranges state to state, if you are able to practice interior design without a degree. In mine you can, you just can't claim you are a, "licenced Interior Designer". The problem I'm facing as an Interior Designer is without the NCIDQ certificate, I'm unable to belong to the trade programs, which i'm unsure I need to, but know it would be added income if I could. You can't take the test unless you have a 2 year ID degree and 3 years of work experience in the industry.

  Hi Danni! Welcome to the fam 🙂✌️ so glad you've found the channel and it's been useful info. I try my best to juggle between this and my design business so bare with me if there's a bit of silence from time to time. I enjoy making videos and plan to do it as long as I can 👍 Thanks so much for sharing the insight on this topic from the US perspective. I had a rough idea about the setup but this explains it all a lot better. Such a shame that you have to have a certain certificate to be able to grow your business. In the UK we can work with any suppliers and contractors on our own terms.

  Even Deepak Chopra has told others to lie in resumes or job interviews just to get a job. There's no problem. Sometimes people need help with getting rid of GUILT rather than needing help to get a job. Don't you think? Lie without guilt. Do what you gotta do to get what you want. Each to their own.

• 
  @SpaceForEdit3 ай бұрын

  Not sure if I can agree with this one.. you can of course do what you want but the lies will soon enough catch up with you. If you're a person who can improvise and deal with issues on the spot then you might get away with it but if you can't... Then you'll be in trouble and risk looking like a fool and loosing the position after the probo period. And in some way the whole 'fakeness' will then follow you for the rest of your career. There are too many people out there who talk the talk but they haven't actually walked the walk which causes a lot of issues down the line.

I worked while in school starting at $7/hr, then $10/hr internship, then a graduate assistant at $15/hr. Then was offered a job at $16/hr back In 2012 that I turned down to stay at home with our first kiddo.

  @@SpaceForEdit I do think the wage is ok but honestly would probably make more if I was working for myself and doing contract work… maybe. I’m not ready to go it on my own just yet. The networking, marketing and essentially getting my own jobs sounds like a bit much for the time I have to invest. I work for an architect and there hasn’t been a lot of interior design work in what they have done recently, so I feel a little stuck. Plus I have a newborn baby, still on maternity leave for another week… trying to figure out how to get work done with him in my arms.
