Chloe MattersGuestCamilla IngallHostSo that's not really the most common path into interior design, despite the psychology that we've discussed that you need to be in the loop with when it comes to interiors.

You know, what makes people feel comfortable? What makes them shut down? What does that look like? So I guess that's what drew me to the course.

Ironically, I think it's more useful than my design degree because in this business, it's not really just about cushions and paint and, you know, finishes.

It's actually about understanding your client, building trust and asking the right questions and listening in a way where you can hear what they actually need, maybe not what they say.
