    I’m only a Junior in Highschool, but i’m really interested in Interior Design already. I love drawing.. (Ik u don’t have to be great, but I draw realistically). I also rearrange my room A LOT... like when I was 10-11, I would measure my furniture/room and make a “blueprint” drawing of my room, so I can see how I want to change it & I still do it to this day lol. ANYWAY, Im a new subscriber (: and I’ll continue to watch ur videos to learn, bc after high school I want to take at least a 4-5 month break to work and save up to get into college. & get my bachelors degree... and hopefully be all set for interior designing in the future & continuing to get better at it((: & LOVE ur videos btw, I haven’t been bored of u talking yet lol bc i’m actually REALLY interested in what ur saying 😊and I’m happy to start learning rn

    Is interior design an "employment" or "entrepreneurship"?

    • @SandySaintilus
      @SandySaintilus  4 года назад +1

      It can be both. You can work at an interior design firm as a designer or you can start your own business and take on your own clients. When you work at a firm the clients aren't "yours" they're the company's clients and you work on a team

    Hello . I am currently pursuing my bachelors in English Literature from India . I’m interested to pursue my Masters in Interior Architecture from NYSD or SCAD or even from FIDI . How according to you should I plan my Masters ? Should I go for a certificate program first and then go for my masters or directly go for masters ? And 1 year masters or 2 year masters ?

    • @SandySaintilus
      @SandySaintilus  2 года назад

      Most master's programs are two years. You'll also want to check with the school you want to apply to because not all schools let you into their masters without a bachelor's in design.

  • @tanyabarbie895
    @tanyabarbie895 3 года назад

    Hi Sandy, I was hoping you could help me understand this better. I am a transfer student applying to University of Florida and I am changing my major for a bachelors degree in interior design! I was told that it would take me 4 years to complete my degree since the classes are structured over 4 years to give students the ability to develop their skills. Ive counted all the classes I need to take for my major and its 22 classes. Divided into 4 semesters (2 years) It would be 5-6 classes per semester and thats totally normal for most students. And since I am a junior Ive basically taken all my core classes so it makes sense for me to take 5-6 classes per semester so I can speed up my process.
    However I understand that interior design unlike most majors is a project based major that requires sincere creative effort. So in your opinion, since you are taking interior design and know what the rigor and curriculum is like, do you believe it is more than possible for me to graduate in 2 more years instead of 4?
    I remember you mentioned that graduate students can get their masters in interior design in only 2-3 years because the curriculum in condensed in that amount of time so I hope its possible for me too. Ive emailed my advisor about my concern. I hope it all works out!
    Also do you think? Does it make sense for me to speed up my process and get my degree as efficiently as possible or does 4 years make more sense? Thank you so much!

    • @SandySaintilus
      @SandySaintilus  3 года назад +1

      I'm no longer in school but I'll do my best to help. The major is very intense. Taking that many classes will take a huge toll on you. It can take 30hrs just to complete one project for one class. It can take even longer when you get into the more advanced classes. If you have responsibilities outside of school, like kids or a job then I don't recommend this. Even if you don't have those things outside of school, you still want time to be social, hang with friends, and just live your life. Taking that many classes will impede on that. I'm not trying to discourage you at all I just want to be realistic about what you can expect. If you still want to take it on then I believe you can do anything you put your mind to.
