Becoming an interior designer

Image
  Hi! My name is Natasha. I`m 21, but it`s only my second year in interior design sphere. Well, it`s better to start from the beginning… (6 January, 2000)   I was born in a small town called Kotlas in the north of Russia. Although it is not a cultured place, I got addicted to art from the very young age. My grandmother worked in art school in Arkhangelsk, so when I spent my holiday there, I always went to the studio and looked at sculptures and other students` works. (2006)    I entered an art school in Kotlas. It was a 10-year-old way from a beginner to a good artist. (2016)   I finished the art school. Although, I had a good portfolio with academic drawings, I didn`t plan to continue my art way. (2018)   After finishing high school I had to decide what kind pf profession I want to get. I really thought that art is in the past and my future profession must be “fundamental”, because of the payment. I chose program Advertisement and Public Relati...
  Hi! Let's get to know each other better. My name is Nadezhda, I currently live in Moscow and am studying at BHSAD in Interior Architecture and Design. This is my third degree, I have a diploma in economics and a management degree in tourism and hospitality. I have always been interested in interior design, clothing, architecture and art, so I decided to change my profession and get a degree in this field in order to work successfully. I also like the idea of harmonising a person's life through the space in which they live, work, relax and have fun. I lived in Spain for seven years, three of them in Madrid, where I started a degree in Interior Design at the Instituto Europeo de Diseño. It was an interesting experience, I acquired many acquaintances from related fields (artists, gallerists, furniture manufacturers, real estate agents), and I was exposed to Spanish culture and mentality. All this will help me to implement international projects in the future. In addition t...

Let's start from the begining

 Hello, my name is Polina. I didn't come to the design by simple way. At school, I dreamed of becoming a doctor, a heart surgeon, I entered a medical university, but my creative nature was bursting outside. I didn't like the framework I was driven into. At one point, I decided to radically change my life and entered the BHSAD. I like the idea that I can create homes, cozy public places or, together with the architect, new buildings. I traveled a lot and in new cities I always paid attention to architecture. Unfortunately, now my knowledge of architects is not great, but I am sure that during my study I will be able to learn more. I really like to create something new, what is mine, what is unique.

  Hi, I am Masha!  The realization of starting my professional career as an interior designer came into my mind quite late. I cannot recall a moment in my childhood when I was allured by doing any specific artistic works which identified me as a designer of the interior space. Perhaps the only fact that justify my craving for art is my upbringing in art interested family which created a special atmosphere in the house that affected my immature mind.  The decision of developing professionally as an interior designer came up after passing a foundation course where my mind was completely changed and my understanding of space was absolutely upgraded. This period helped me to form a strong consideration that space is not only a place where you can live in coziness and safeness or satisfy your vital needs but also as a powerful tool that affects feelings, behavior, and stimulates a person to reflect. That is actually what encourages me the most and puts meaning in what I am dea...

  Since the early childhood I was passionate in art. I spent a lot of time on crafts, art school and drawing courses. With each new course, I realised that I wanted to be an interior designer. As a child, I drew interiors for fun,but at the same time I started to analyse the space, I’ve always felt it and imagined how it could look different, how it could be made better and more convenient. I like to be creative in various fields, and the profession of an interior designer includes the work that a graphic designer does, 3d modeling, visualizations, sketches, collages and technical drawings. Therefore, I can realize myself in different areas and never get tired of my work.  All these factors and the process of work inspires me so much, so I feel that I have chosen right path in my life.

  Me as a designer, what can I say… It was not my first choice.  To start with, at school and preparing for my A-levels, I wanted to be an artist first, loved drawing still life and people. However, all my friends at that time were looking for the apartments and sent me all the apartments that were on sail in London and realised  that they are not great, I can do better, in all of them I wanted to change something, to make it more appealing, comfortable to live in and so on. And that is why I want to be an interior designer,I feel like I can listen to people/clients and not only hear them, but actually listen and understand their needs in the place which they want to surround them with. I always try to find a problem and make a solution in design, I love working with people and know how to find a way to each person. And if I work with the social space,I always try to make it comfortable for people with different abilities, life views and my inspiration in that is an ...

It would seem that an ordinary person is in the   photo. But you can see from her eyes that she loves something with passion. And it is interior design. I chose this path a long time ago, even at school. I had a vivid example that design is cool, fun and profitable. My mother is a designer and I decided to continue her business. It is a great luck and happiness that I really like interior design and I will be able to study not only at the university, but also on the personal example of a successful designer. For me, interior design has some kind of special mission - to make the space more convenient , more comfortable and more individual. There is nothing more beautiful than the disclosure of a person's character traits in the interior of his house. Most of all, I like communicating with the customer. This is a special  magic - to understand him and make his dreams come true, but at the same time accompany the client during the entire path of creating the final picture. Help t...
