Starting a career in interior design requires researching the field, understanding the qualifications needed, and taking the proper steps to acquire the necessary knowledge and skills. You can begin by taking an interior design course at your local college or university, getting a certificate or diploma in interior design, or looking into apprenticeships or internships with a professional designer. Once you have the basic knowledge and qualifications, you'll need to create a portfolio of your design work and get some experience, either through working with a professional or on your own. Networking is also key when you're getting started and attending industry events, conferences, and meetings can help you find jobs. Having a strong presence on social media can also help young designers to promote their work and services.
