Natalia Grigorieva

"I am an artist and web designer by education and to obtain a new qualification I decided to study on the course “Interior Designer” at the Italian School of Fashion and Design. And it really turned out to be the right decision.
The most valuable thing during studies for me was a deep understanding of the intricacies of the profession of an interior designer, especially the nuances of competent communication with the client. I really liked the module on interior styles. The lessons from the teachers are very rich and well-developed. Many practical tasks that cause minor difficulties in completing, but with the right approach allow you to master the necessary programs to the full extent.
I am glad that I chose this school.”

Madina Yussupova

Madina Yussupova tells us about her studies:

I decided to study the Interior Design course because while working as a graphic designer I did, among other things, visualization of the interior in 3D Max according to the customer's sketches. But in the process of work, I had to make changes to the interior, so in order to give the right advice, I need the knowledge of an interior design. And in the future I want to work more in-depth in this direction in order to plan the interior design from scratch.
In studies I like the personal account and how everything is planned. Each lesson lasts about 15-20 minutes, that is, you don't get tired of listening to the lesson. The information is quite understandable. I really like the feedback, comments, which help to come to the right result.
