About the Event
One of the biggest challenges interior designers face isn’t the design itself — it’s managing client expectations. Unclear boundaries, changing decisions, unrealistic timelines, and miscommunication can quickly turn a great project into a stressful one. In this practical webinar, we’ll explore how experienced designers set clear expectations from the very beginning so projects run more smoothly, clients feel supported, and the design process remains professional and enjoyable for everyone involved. This session will give you tools, strategies, and frameworks you can immediately apply to your own projects.

I just wanted to say a massive thank you for the last 3 days. You’ve really given me back my confidence in believing I can do this. The course was brilliant, you were so generous in sharing all of your knowledge and I didn’t feel stupid for not knowing enough, I felt like I could ask you anything. I loved every bit of it and have been buzzing ever since! I’ve never done anything where I can’t wait to do more of it asap, at break, lunch, before bed etc and just learn as much as I can.

After completing the 3-day interior design workshop, we can highly recommend it to everyone! We travelled all the way from Israel to Cardiff for this workshop, and it was totally worth it. In fact, it exceeded all our expectations! The course covered a wide range of topics, including taking a brief from clients, surveying spaces, drawing plans to scale and creating mood boards. The workshop provided practical tools which can not only help develop a hobby but can also serve as a guide to begin working as an interior designer. The positive environment of the workshop buzzed with creativity and inspiration. The teacher, Gail Speck, was professional and down to earth but also warmhearted and fun. The small size of the group allowed each of us to receive personal attention and guidance while being encouraged to develop our own creative style. If you’re looking for some fun or for tools to start a business, this course is just for you! Highly recommended!
