Why you will need your samples | Episode 2
Breaking into the interior design industry isn’t as simple as coursework suggests! In Episode 2, we dive into the gap between design education and the real-world hustle—with insights from Abigael and our guest, Risper from Chianda Interiors to hear the raw truth about internships, industry challenges, and how to bridge the gap.
From the hunt for meaningful internships to navigating real-world challenges, Abigael & Risper share refreshingly honest insights on what it actually takes to get your foot in the door—and how to keep it there.
We also unpack the overlooked essentials: why having physical samples (and getting them approved) can make or break a project, and how written communication is one of the most underrated tools in a designer’s career. It’s not just about mood boards and color palettes—it’s about clarity, trust, and showing up like a pro.
Whether you’re fresh out of design school or deep in the trenches, this conversation bridges the gap between theory and practice—with a little bold truth along the way.
Press play—you’ll want your notes app open for this one.
