To stand out as an interior designer you need to develop five key skills, either through courses, technical training or your own professional experience:
Creativity and innovation
You should have the ability to imagine and conceptualise unique and attractive spaces.
Technical know-how
In the digital world we live in, mastery of design software is essential. Your profile will be more attractive to companies if you control digital tools such as the Adobe Creative Cloud package (Photoshop, Illustrator or Lighttroom) or computer-aided design software (AutoCAD).
At UDIT, you will be able to get certified in the Adobe package (Adobe Certified Professionals) and become proficient in all programmes of the Adobe package as the licence is included in your training.
Communication skills
The work of an interior designer requires understanding the client's needs and conveying ideas clearly.
Project management
The development of an interior design project involves different teams (architects, designers, builders, etc.), so it is essential that you have knowledge of coordinating budgets, deadlines and work teams.
Attention to detail
Details are fundamental for the quality and budget of the project, so it is necessary to have precision in the selection of materials, textures and colours.
Becoming an interior designer requires passion, creativity and quality academic training. At UDIT, we offer you the Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design and the Master's Degree in Interior Design, programmes designed for you to acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to stand out in this constantly evolving industry.
