What’s Stopping Most Aspiring Designers From Breaking in the Industry and Start Earning $10k/mo?

I Call it “The Academic Theory Trap"

What’s Stopping Most Aspiring Designers From Breaking in the Industry and Start Earning $10k/mo? I Call it “The Academic Theory Trap"

The REAL problem most interior designers face today is

❌ Not market saturation

❌ The lack of talent and creativity

❌ Or even the size of their portfolio or experience

It’s something completely different

It's this idea that you need to spend 3 to 4 years in school.

Throw $100k for a piece of paper,

Work for little to no money to get experience

Work some more and build a massive portfolio

And keep working until one day you “transform” into a design wizard.

Then and ONLY then you can MAYBE think about making some decent money with your very own interior design business.

The Brutal Reality of Interior Designers in 2024

Source Payscale.com

The average interior designer salary in Australia is AU$61,329 as of 2024

Source Getthewordout,com

1:3 University graduates are unemployed and unequipped to transition to a full time job as an architect or designer

All of these stats shouldn’t come as a surprise

Because most aspiring interior designers are learning from people who have NO-REAL interior design experience.

Interior Designer’s Business School article on Interior Design Schools:

“The information is not only presented in an academic way, it is written by academics who usually

have never worked in the real industry or built an interior design business themselves.”

In other words

Interior design schools are teaching you “theory” instead of real-world, useful and present interior design practices.

Not to mention that these interior design school will never teach you

How to start your own interior design business.

How to manage and scale your business.

How to consistently land high paying clients.

How to charge a premium and still have a long list of customers waiting to work with you.

Etc.

If You Follow the Traditional Path &

Learn From Inexperienced Teachers

If You Follow the Traditional Path & Learn From Inexperienced Teachers

You’ll waste 3 to 4 years.

Go into debt and be $100k poorer.

Learn a bunch of old concepts and practices that aren’t relevant anymore.

Struggle to find a job.

And end up stuck at a mediocre firm, earning $50k a year working with overdemanding clients

This is why most intermediate interior designer feel overwhelmed, and insecure about starting their own interior design business.

Because they don’t think they have what it takes.

But the truth is they’ve been learning the wrong things this whole time.

And if you fell into the same “trap”.

Know that it’s not your fault.

Instead...

Learn Directly From a Globally Recognized Interior Design Expert and Bypass The Trap Most Aspiring Designers Fall For

So rather than going to school for 3 to 4 years.

Use that time to get in field experience.

Rather paying $100k for a piece of paper.

Be debt free, $100k richer and get paid minimum $5k/mo while you learn.

Rather than burdening your brain with outdated practices.

Learn the most cutting edge techniques, practices and strategies top interior designers use to consistently attract high-paying clients, deliver jaw-dropping results, and scale their businesses to 6-figures and beyond!

The Truth Is

You Don’t Need Years of Formal Education,

a Fancy Degree or Out of This World Talent

You Don’t Need Years of Formal Education, a Fancy Degree or Out of This World Talent

You don’t even need years of experience, a massive portfolio or be world famous to start and succeed as a freelance interior designer

All you need is a burning passion for creating stunning spaces.

The drive to learn, grow, and push boundaries in the world of design.

And the courage to take that first step towards turning your vision into reality.

How do I know this?

Because I personally know dozens of interior designers who started off in a completely different field.

And are now highly skilled and sought after designers making $10k, $20k even $50k per month.

Most Successful Interior Designers Started

With No Degree & Zero Experience

Max Humph

Started off with a New Media degree and being a bassist in an L.A. punk rock band. When the music stopped, Humphrey started a part-time design assistant position at Burnham Design. Under Betsy Burnham's mentorship, he honed his skills and rose through the ranks to become a partner at the firm. Now running his own design firm in Portland, Oregon

Brian Patrick Flynn

From television producer to acclaimed interior designer.

After years of writing, producing, and directing home improvement shows, Flynn took a leap of faith into residential interiors. His talent quickly shone through, earning him features in HGTV, Country Living, and Domaine.

Vicente Wolf

Now — one of the 10 most influential designers in the United States

He trained himself to sketch, draw, and design and learned everything else by being someone’s assistant.

Martha Angus

With no formal interior design education, she learned the ropes as an assistant in Philadelphia and created stunning spaces for Ralph Lauren, the Lauder family, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Lane Crawford.

Betsy Burnham

Betsy Burnham, principal designer at Burnham Design, began her career in the New York fashion industry after graduating from Dartmouth College with a Visual Studies major.

Nate Berkus

Graduated from a completely different field and launched his famous design firm Nate Berkus Associates at the age of 24.

Ryan Corba

Started off as an inexperienced, untrained young design dreamer and in less than 10 years has become the main attraction of downtown New York interior design

The Truth Is

There is Room for Plenty More Talented Interior Designers to Swoop In and Start Earning $10k, $20k, Even $50k

Source: Mordor Intelligence

The global interior design market size is estimated to be at $137.93 billion.

And it is expected to reach $177,13 billion dollars by 2029.

Over 5 million houses being sold every year in the U.S — 13,000 new homes looking for a designer

Survey by the American Hotel and Lodging Association:

55% of hotel guests say that the design and aesthetics of a hotel are important when choosing where to stay. So now hotel managers are looking for new ways to make their hotel look and feel more pleasant

The American Bankers Association:

Most banks are now moving towards "customer experience-centric" branches. Meaning they want to use design to improve customer interaction and satisfaction.

Planetree International:

Hospitals now know and understand how well-designed hospital spaces have a positive impact on patient health and recovery and overall satisfaction.

What I’m trying to say is,

The opportunities are endless.

The question is

How You Can Tap Into This Hungry Market &

Attract Clients Paying You 5-Figures Per Project?

Simple.

extremely helpful, well organized, coordinated with very high PROPERTY STYLING expertise. I cannot be happier to have dealt with her as she and her team turned my new villa into my beautiful dream home.

It sounds amazing BUT...

I Paid a Hefty Price to

Become Who I Am Today.

For the past 20 years I’ve worked myself to the bone every single day.

I literally worked myself to the ground.

I was pulling all-nighters, sacrificing my weekends, and pushing myself to the absolute limit.

I thought I was invincible, that I could keep going at this pace forever.

But my body had other plans.

Six years ago – I had my first stroke.

And that wasn’t the only stroke I had.

It took SIX more strokes in the past few years for me to realize that it’s time to slow down.

Thanks to this nightmare experience, I decided to completely change the way I run my life and my interior design business.

And because I know how much I had to work to get to where I am today.

I took it upon myself to pass all my knowledge and expertise to help other aspiring interior designers who are stuck at a firm they don’t like, have amazing design ideas, and want to launch their own business.

Without feeling exhausted, confused, putting your life at risk from overworking or going through countless rejections
