Approximately 2 1/2 years ago after much research, I decided to enroll in this course. But the timing had to be right ... for my family and for myself. This is the time! My current employment contract finishes in 3 weeks. The plan is then to enroll, study, obtain employment within Interior Design and begin my new career (33 years in the making). Winning the cost of the Interior Design Institute course would allow me to purchase a laptop, for use to complete the course and work as an Interior Designer. Thanks for this opportunity! With much gratitude, Janelle

I am full of enthusiasm and passion for interior design ,also have more than 5 years of interior design experiences, to cooperate with the team,maintains close contact with the clients, to be positive and responsible, to establish organization and management, and to be full of efficiency in order to satisfy and strengthen the design multiple requirements .

Even I’ve already equipped with designer qualification in Taiwan, I still don’t mind starting from zero or basic. I hope to get this chance to have the opportunity of entering development and designing in different styles,to inspire different sparks with other great partners in this area.

Although I'm ever grateful for my stint as a stay at home mom for the past seven years, I've also recently been experiencing anxiety and this unshakeable need to get out and do something now that my children are all school age. When they were younger we undertook the task of renovating the main floor of our own home, and I fell in love with it! I know I can't return the the hectic pace of the advertising world I once worked in. I've had many people tell me I have a natural talent for design, and I'm always creating - creativity runs deep in my blood, in everything I do.

Having the opportunity to take this course would give me the confidence I need to start coming out of my shell and pitching design projects in my town. In my efforts to overcome my anxiety I've really tried to focus on what brings me joy. I know that I want to do meaningful work and I truly believe that beautiful interior design can spark joy for others, just as creating those spaces will bring joy to me.

Thank you for the opportunity to win this course. It would be so helpful to us as a single income family!

I’ve been going to auctions and antique malls since I was drug there by my parents when I was little. I hated it but didn’t realize I had my mom’s eye for quality pieces and my dad’s love for rustic antiques. Now that I’m old(er), I’d love an excuse to take this class.

I'm a stay-at-home mom, in urgent need of a transition, for budgetary purposes. I have a diploma in architectural design and drafting with Autocad (2 years of trade school), but I want to add to this my artistic flair and complement my very technical background with the design approach of interior design/decorating. I have a deep interest and love for all things aesthetic in architecture. I have been told multiple times that I have a knack for interior decorating, but I would love to enter the professional world. I want to to it with the right tools. For all these reasons, I think I am a perfect candidate!

I have a fetish for interior design that I dream of turning into a career. This would be a great foundation for me to build on (no pun intended)!!!

I started with interior design marketing, but my heart has always been in design. Great passion for interior design blogging and extra effort I’m always putting into my creations and mood boards brought me to some unbelievable opportunities. After four years in the field I am now working side by side with designers, got my first two clients (they are not family, but not paying for my services either) and even becoming a columnist on my favourite interior design blog/magazine soon. To be able to grow from this I know I need more education in the field of design. I need to learn from you. I have no time or money to pursue a formal diploma though. I know it is not very likely that you will choose me, but if you do - that will be my sign! When you work so hard and sacrifice so much to achieve your goals and pursue your dreams, luck will smile at you at some point and give you a gentle push ahead. It happened before. With all of my heart I hope it will happen this time too. I know I’ve got talent, motivation and marketing knowledge to pull this trough. All that’s missing is interior design background. Are you going to be my angels and skyrocket me to my wildest dreams?

#IDIstudent

This is so exciting! I’d love to be a #IDIstudent! I’m currently studying interior design at my local community college and have found that the limited class times make it impossible to have a job and attend school at the same time. Having the flexibility of an online program is a dream of mine! I’m currently getting my real estate license as well and plan on pursuing my dream of turning houses into homes and following in my families footsteps. I’ve always been in love with interior design and homes in general! To be able to turn houses in my community into homes families can live in for years to come is really such an exciting and rewarding opportunity that this course could make happen. I’d love to be on the right track to making my dreams a reality and this course would be an amazing start.

I am a young lady who has always had a passion for interior design, I remember growing up I always had a vision of my house and how I would personalise it according to my own style. I am ready to start something new and interior design is part of the things I want to pursue. Wherever I go whether its in a restaurant or hotel all I get excited about is the space, the lighting, the tiles and etc..

Can’t wait to see who wins this amazing opportunity!

I love design so much and am about to become a qualified building designer in less than two weeks! To study interior design would be icing on the cake and would be a huge benefit to my career in which I am so passionate about. I will not only be able to give advice on a clients build but also help them really see the interior potential to turn a house into a home

I’m hoping I get to win this competition as the winners will be announced on the date of my birthday ☺️.

I am currently wrapping up my studies in Quantity Surveying and working for a construction company. I would like to like complement my qualification with an Interior Design Diploma

This course is perfect as it would allow me to take it at my own pace, considering my work schedule.

I have a love for interior design. My research topic for my BTech was “ An investigation of green building interiors on occupants”. I got to explore the effects that interior designing have on human health and well-being. This research fueled my interest in interior design, making me realize the importance of the role that interior designers play in putting together buildings that become homes and places where we spent a lot of our time - schools, offices etc.

Fingers crossed for my name in that winners announcement

Interior Design is my passion. I feel that it is time to follow my dreams and become an Interior Designer. Currently I am a Civil Engineer, so I believe that I can add to my construction knowledge my creative ideas. This is a great opportunity to do in life what I really want.

I have been saving my pennies for this exact course, but as a stay at home mom it has been a bit of a challenge! I have wanted to do interior design since high school, many years ago, but never had enough confidence. When my husband and I started flipping houses I clearly saw that design is my passion. Many people ask me to help them with home design, but I am hesitant to dive in until I have more solid theory and knowledge to back up my skills. It will be a dream come true when iI can take this course and make design my life work! Above is one of my renovation makeovers.

I fell in love with design my freshman year of high school. I took Interior Design thinking it would be an "easy A." Turns out it was not easy but it didn't matter because I LOVED it! I had big plans to pursue Interior Design post high school but plans change and dreams get put on hold. I got married and started a family young. I quit college to help put my husband through school and raise our children, always putting others above myself. While I don't regret any of my decisions, I'm ready to continue pursuing my dreams! I know it's my time, and I'm so ready to do big things. I'm a firm believer that a home should be a sanctuary, somewhere where you can feel safe and comfortable. The way a home is designed can turn stress into relief and disappointment into hope. My passion is strong and I would be so excited to have the opportunity to become an #IDIstudent!

I would love to win the course. I had a look at it before and it seems a great course to do but sadly can’t afford it.

Hello IDI, my name is MacKenzie and I am 24 years old. I have had a passion for Interior Design ever since my single digit days.I would redesign every room in the house, long before I knew this could be a career. Making these visions into real life masterpieces;Making houses into homes.

Once I got to high school they offered an interior design class and I’ve never looked so forward to a class ever. I loved every bit of it and wanted more, more, more. I regret not going to college for interior design, but once I saw this online course I have yet to stop thinking about it. I go to bed every night thinking about all the possibilities and my future as a designer. In the morning, I wake up more motivated then ever.

I work extremely hard at 2 different jobs that are only keeping me in a standstill. I just want to run with this course and never look back. I want to start the new year off with this commitment to following my heart. It would truly be a Christmas miracle to win this course. To win this, I get a second chance to start my dream career and I am so excited to see what the future brings!

GET EXCITED IDI!

Ive been eye balling the interior design institute for about 4 months now. but I was in love with this opportunity yall created from the very first day I descovered it!

hi.I'm nurul.34. A mom of two with a civil engineering background. Since my first born is autistic + having a congenital heart disease, i'm stuck at home as a housewife and of course having an autistic child, my house is a mess!hahahaha. My wall paper torn out, broken tv, living hall without coffee table in order to create a better space i guess.

i love to watch home improvement tv show and i'm soo impressed about how those interior designers can simply make a space looks extremely gorgeous by just arranging a few vases on a console table.

So, if im lucky enough to win this course, i hope i can do something with my messy house hahaha and create a functional space for my autistic son to play and i hope i can offer some advice to help other moms with autistic kids in my country to create a functional space at home for their autistic kids too.

thank you.

I would love the opportunity to learn more about designing, styling and decorating spaces for my family and my wider community but mainly for my mother. Shes my light, my warmth, my pillow and my
flower. When I was 13yrs old my father passed away at the young age of 38 from a heart attack. He left behind a widow & 8 children all under the age of 14 yrs. Ever since that day my mothers has had to learn to better her english, hold down 3 jobs, attend church events & contribute what little she had to her community, make, reuse or repurpose whatever she could get her hands on from friends/families, op shops (the salvation army), things left on the side of the road just to make our small little humble abode look & feel cosy for her family of 9. So much of what Ive learnt & seen comes from my mum. Now that Im a mother myself (and expecting no.2) I too would like to use my passion & desire for design in interior (thanks to watching all those interior design shows) to create calming and relaxing spaces for mum, family and friends.

Hence, why I would love to get/win this opportunity to give back to her and build, style, decorate her very own humble abode. As to this day she is still working hard to provide not just for her children but for her grandchildren too.

Faafetai lava (Thank you very much).

Im very passionated for the beauty, fashion, life trends and design. I want to make an impact in people’s mind thru the design in spaces and accessories. Creating a place where everyone feels inspired and be able to living in a creative and peaceful life.

I have loved Interior Design since I was a teenager. (I’m almost 50). The creativity and endless options Inspire me. It’s always evolving. My dream would be to someday flip houses or own my own Home Decor Store. I would love the opportunity take these classes and learn everything I can about the industry.

l would love to do this course. ior

I am an aspiring Interior Designer and am very passionate about Home Decor. I have a keen interest in learning about the new trends and the possible combinations of various colors and geometries that can make the space between four walls, and beyond, develop a character of its own.

By gaining professional guidance and international design exposure, I want to use the technical and practical skills to convert my imagination and ideas into reality. If given a chance through this course, I will definitely be more skilled at marking my presence in this field and make my dream possible. Cheers! :)

While I’m currently majoring in Business, I’ve always wanted to do something non-traditional with it. Unbeknownst to anyone, I want to take online interior design classes after I graduate and combine those two areas of study to guide my career path.

I took a drafting course after I finished high school and would like to continue/expand my knowledge to learn the interior design. I love to make things love perfect and have an artistic flair. Doing this would be exciting.

Interior design has always been my passion I love working with space colour and fabrics I have a textiles fdn degree and would really benefit from topping up with this prestigeous course from this elite Institute. Unfortunately I cannot afford this course but would really work hard to gain this qualification and would caŕry the diploma with pride and tell my cllients where I trained as they would be so impressed and I would expect recommendations if I did this course from clients.

Thank you for this lovely opportunity

I am in LOVE with colours, textures, painting, styling, organising.....you name it!!! Interiors have always been a great interest of mine, starting from a young age, growing up in a house which wasn't glamorous and over 100 years old. I started to see how I would change things in this house, starting painting walls from about 12 years old, and my passion has grown from there. I haven't truly explored my creativity with interiors outside of styling, and have never studied to be a stylist/designer, and this is where becoming an #IDIStudent would change that! I want to learn all I can about the design side of things, and guide me as I undertake some big renovations in my own home next year! Persuing a career as a designer is next on my to-do list and this would be an amazing start to the rest of my exciting career and show my children that you are never too old (42) to start a new dream! Thank you for this opportunity Xx

I have always dreamed of becoming an interior designer.. I’ve been doing the same job for over 30 years and it’s time for a change and to follow my dreams! I love designing and creating spaces that invite people to come in and stay for a while.. a lot of my friends ask me for advice when they are getting ready for a change or purchasing a new home. I’ve been planning on enrolling in a course to better educate myself and it would mean the world to me to be an #IDIstudent.. its time for me to do what I was made to do!

Would love to learn more #IDstudent

I'd love to win this course and be an #IDIstudent !!

I am currently a professional photographer and love all things design. I'm ready for my next chapter in life and interiors is it!! I have always dabbled with interior design and friends always love what I do with my house. It's time to take it to the next level and learn all there is to know about interior design. Plus we are renovating next year, and would love to go into the reno with stronger design skills.

I'm a retail buyer and after every job i tell myself that it's time to make the leap to interior design. I've been researching interior design courses and IDI stood out to me as the place I wanted to study. I started following IDI on instagram and when I saw the free design course offer, I felt it was another sign in the right direction. I'm not working at the moment, so to win this would be a career dream come true. Crossing my fingers #IDIstudent

Hello, I don't want to say many words why I would love to be a #IDIstudent , I am sending this instead, which summarizes how I feel about interior design:

Inspiration

Notion

Timeless

Energy

Recreation

Ideas

Object

Refurbish

Dream

Envision

Sensation

Imagination

Goal

Nature

I want to become an IDstudent for multiple reasons. I recently finished high school and during my final two years I did ATAR hoping to get into Uni for interior design... but then I messaged the owner or 31 interiors (A past student of the interior design institute). She told me that she didn’t go to University or tafe and instead did the interior design institute online course. After hearing her recommomdation I quickly looked up the course and fell in love with the structure of it, and how detailed it was. When searching for a uni/tafe it is very hard to understand what is actually included in the course and what you will be learning, however with IDI the whole course was laid out and it had everything I wanted to learn about before becoming an interior designer, in extreme detail. I also love how there are advanced modules, this is essential to expand ones knowledge. I would much prefer working online as I am then also able to maintain my casual job and enjoy time with my family and friends too, while i work towards the career i belong in. I have always loved interior design, most of my family work in careers that are to do with housing. My sisters a painter, my brother in laws an electrician and my dads a carpenter, so i have always been around houses... and I always used to imagine the beautiful interiors that could become of them after my dad has finished putting the

roof on top. Youre always pushed as a child to be a mainstream teacher, doctor, lawyer.... but i never fitted into any of those fields, the arts were more my style.... and when I found the interior design institute I felt complete because I knew that was the only pathway I wanted to take to become an interior designer.

I’d love to become an #IDIstudent because, despite being a qualified accountant, I have a real passion for interior design. I’ve always loved decorating my own home and it makes me happy. Time to do what I love so I am thinking of changing my career path before its too late.
