Hi! I’m KD. I spent most my professional career working in an architecture firm in the UK and fairly recently relocated back stateside taking a job on the end-user side with a tech company. I’m trying to transition into the American corporate world where design and architecture is behind the trend of Europe generally I feel. Feel a bit behind without any “accreditations” despite 15+ years in workplace design experience.

Hey KD! Thank you for commenting and lovely to meet you! Feel free to message and let’s chat

Hi, I was an account director for a retail design company in London. After I had my baby the MD made it unattainable for me to return to my job (whole other story). So I relocated to Ireland and am now looking to start afresh. I have a BA In Architectural technology and 10 years experience in design and project management. Trying to figure out what my next steps are.

Actually question?; could I go into the part 1 or part 2 route with my experience? Not sure they even do that here in Ireland.

Additional Posts in Interior Design / Interior Architecture

I’m looking to switch career from data analyst to interior designer. But from what I saw the interior designer has a relatively lower pay compared with data jobs. What should I do? Interior design work makes me happy but it earns less. How do you guys see about salary cut after transitioning careers, especially I need to re-attend school ( not making money for 2+ years and pay for tuition) if I want to switch the career. Thanks!
