MY CAREER
By Willa Tree
Nature of Job
I
am an interior designer. An interior designer has a desire to create. Interior designers specialize in the design
of homes or office buildings. They plan
the space and furnish the inside of homes, buildings, retail locations,
hospitals, hotel, theaters, etc. They
can also plan the interiors for remodeling.
Most interior designers
specialize. Some concentrate on home
designs and others specialize even more. Some focus on certain rooms such as
kitchens and baths. All designers develop a new design or change an existing
one.
Interior designers also design
lighting and architectural details such as built-ins, cabinets, and select
furniture, floor and window treatments, help determine colors. Interior designers also must meeting
building codes and all federal, state and local laws.
Three out of 10 designers are
self-employed. Self-employed designers
tend to work longer hours. Some
designers work for companies.
Creativity is most important in the design field.
Most designers need a bachelor
degree and a master’s degree gives you an advantage. Creativity is the most crucial aspect.
Designers prepare sketches to
illustrate the design. Most designers
draw detailed drawings by hand or with the aid of a computer. Computer-aided design (CAD) tools are used more
and more because it is easier to use and flexible in that it can be
changed. Use of a computer and training
with CAD tools is essential.
Designers have to meet the needs of
their client. They have to think about what the room design will be used
for. Designers must research things
such as design size, characteristics, shape, weight, color, materials, cost,
ease of use, and more.
I earn $26,000 per year. Beginning interior designer earn $20,000. Wages also depend on whether the designer is self employed or works for a business.
The job outlook is better in large cities such as Houston and Dallas.
