Can't decide between a four-year and a two-year interior design degree?
It is important to remember that both degree programs have advantages and disadvantages, so consider your personal goals and circumstances before choosing between them.
And who better to discuss this than Jill Hornbeck? Her advice will help you decide based on your unique needs and aspirations.
Explore your options with Jill as she shares her Interior Design, Marketing, and Teaching expertise to help you determine which degree is best for you.
Featured Guest:
After UC Davis, she worked at an interior design firm doing model homes and residential design. She then worked for a homebuilding company as a marketing coordinator in the sales office doing graphics and public relations. Along with teaching at LPC and running her own interior design business, she's also a mom of three.
Her advice to potential students is "to get the experience right away. There is a lot of awareness about this industry thanks to HGTV and you need to show that you understand it's more than just putting samples on a board. The products in Interior Design are more complex than people realize. So, having experience with products and clients will help you build confidence in your design skills and your ability to communicate with the many people you will encounter."
