Discovering My Passion Through Interior Design

I have always been drawn to spaces the way a room feels, the colors it carries, and the way light moves across surfaces. Even as a child, I spent hours rearranging my room, experimenting with curtains, furniture placement, and colors. It was more than just play; it was my way of understanding balance, aesthetics, and the feeling a space can create. After finishing my 10th grade, I realized this curiosity could become more than a hobby it could become a path I could follow professionally.

Finding the right place to learn was not simple. I explored several options, but many programs felt incomplete, focusing either on theory alone or offering little practical exposure. Some were expensive, while others did not provide opportunities to apply knowledge to real projects. I started to wonder if there was a program that could balance both creative exploration and hands-on learning.

It was during a casual conversation with my sister that I learned about an institute she had experience with for her cloud computing course. She mentioned how she appreciated their approach to practical learning and encouraged me to see if they offered interior design programs. Her perspective made me consider my own learning style I knew I wanted a program that allowed me to try things, make mistakes, and see results in the real world.

When I visited the institute, I was struck by the environment. The space itself was organized and welcoming, reflecting an attention to detail that I had always admired. The staff explained the structure of the course and the kinds of projects students typically worked on. What excited me most was the chance to see how things were made during a factory visit. The idea of observing materials, tools, and processes in action appealed to the practical learner in me.

The first part of the course focused on foundational concepts design principles, drafting, and materials. These sessions helped me understand the language of interior design, from planning a layout to selecting the right textures and finishes. But the real growth happened when I moved into the practical phase. Using design software and working on small projects gave me a chance to experiment and apply the theories I had learned.

The factory visit was an eye-opening experience. Seeing raw materials transformed into furniture and decorative elements made me appreciate the level of skill, planning, and patience required. I could see how design choices were influenced not just by aesthetics, but by material properties and practical constraints. It gave context to the lessons I had been studying and deepened my understanding of interior design as a craft.

During my internship, I had the opportunity to visit client sites and observe professional designers at work. I learned how to communicate ideas, manage timelines, and adapt to unexpected challenges. I even got to present a small design proposal, which was nerve-wracking at first but ultimately rewarding. Each interaction, each project, helped me see the connection between creativity and execution, and how careful planning can turn ideas into tangible results.

Looking back, this journey has been transformative. It reinforced my curiosity, taught me practical skills, and gave me confidence in my abilities. I realized that interior design is more than just arranging spaces it’s about understanding how people interact with their environment and how thoughtful decisions can enhance everyday life. Reflecting on this experience, I feel grateful for every lesson, every project, and every moment of hands-on learning that has helped me grow as a designer and as a person.
