Do we need to be qualified? 

Is the interior design industry likely to move towards mandatory qualifications?

This topic is a hot one, and quite controversial amongst a lot of designers and creatives in the industry these days. So much so, that it almost made me nervous to record this episode! 

But it’s a topic worth discussing, because let’s face it: the argument of qualified vs unqualified can deepen the imposter syndrome that’s rampant in our industry, particularly in Australia, making a lot of creatives scared to move forward in business. 

There’s also the fact that professional bodies like the Design Institute of Australia are now advocating for industry standards, which could potentially include formal qualifications. They’re looking to ensure a high level of professionalism and competency within the industry. 

So, will qualifications become a mandatory part of our future? 

Let's explore the pros and cons and try to understand what this means for everyone in our field - qualified or not.
