ASK ME ANYTHING:
If you have a question for me, the easiest way to reach out is by email. My email is [e-mail]. Please note that it might take me a few days to answer your email (mainly because I have a full time job and make weekly youtube videos, which leaves me with very few hours to spare during the day) but I try my best to respond to you in a timely manner. Thank you.

Love that you’re talking about this!! I’m right in the middle of my program and I’m starting to feel burnt out too

[@aandreatru]

Yes it’s common to feel the burn out, but keep going and try to enjoy it ✨ cheers

[@Jessica-go9ut]

Yes it is tough! I work full time and study interior design full time. It is mad hard!! You definitely need passion in this field, I won’t change it for anything though. Can’t wait to change my career next year!

[@aandreatru]

Good luck on your career change😊✨

[@mimin4361]

Im watching this video for the second time, and although i understand everything ure saying about taking it easy and managing time, im really scared about starting interior design school next year. Did u use to feel like uve lost urself and that ure not living ur life most of time? Apart from burning out

[@aimeebabygu]

I have a fashion design associate degree and I’m thinking of transitioning to interior design by getting an “interior design certificate”. Do you think it’s enough to get a job? with a livable wage?

[@alexandram9450]

Hi 😊 Do you recommend any books for interior designers or website? I wish you a good day!

[@aandreatru]

Hi, I just made a video about books, you can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXvIg5WnadN8jLs

[@MR-hy4yy]

Hi Andrea. Thanks for your video. 🫶🏼 Can you please tell what school did you attend ?😊

[@aandreatru]

Hi!, I am studying at the British Columbia Institute of Technology in Vancouver, Canada, cheers✨

[@mysterious_editor.]

I really like interior design and looks interesting to me rather than sitting behind the same computer and do the same thing daily, the only thing is that i am now in a grade where we don’t have exams or tests and math so idk if I will be able to do it :/

[@aandreatru]

I made a video explaining what type of math designers need for the career, you can check here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYGlqJqFgZeUmqssi=oN6onstRgT2PeUMo

[@ishtiaqshah823]

Can you please tell how much an interior designer earn per year

[@aandreatru]

That depends on the country, but in North America where I live, it ranges between 40,000 to 70,000 dollars. Experienced designers or business owners may be earning more than that, hope that helps.

How do we get an entry level job as an id??

[@aandreatru]

You want to apply for companies that are looking for Junior Interior designers, they will ask for a resume and an interior design portfolio. Normally you need previous education and/or experience in the field to get this type of jobs, however many entry level job level positions focus for on education and portfolio and they do not expect much experience from the applicant

[@fp7601]

@@aandreatru thank you so much! What if we have no formal education?

[@aandreatru]

Without formal education, your best best would be to become an interior decorator (for this you don’t need schooling), self learning can also help you to understand the basics of the industry before applying for jobs. Most companies would still want to see a portfolio of your design-related work, so in a nutshell it can be more difficult to get a job as a designer, some people have been lucky enough to get jobs but I have to say it can be challenging.
