Interior Architect

You are the person who designs the spaces where people live, work, and gather. As an interior designer, you go beyond decorating to plan how a space actually functions, considering layout, lighting, materials, safety, and accessibility as well as beauty. Day to day, you create floor plans and drawings, select finishes and furnishings, work within building codes, and collaborate with architects, contractors, and clients to bring a vision to life. You might design homes, offices, restaurants, hotels, or hospitals, balancing how a space looks with how well it serves the people who use it.
