who it's for

You designed a room. Now you want it to have a strong personality just like you.

Most of this cohort are technically trained, architects and designers with the tools and a project or two behind them, at the “I'm making this my thing now” inflection point. What they're after isn't another CAD tutorial. It's taste, an editorial eye, sourcing, client work, and a practice with their own name on it. If that's you, an architect pivoting into interiors, an early-career designer building an independent studio, or a creative crossing into spaces, this is built for you.

what you'll learn

Five parts

01

The Eye

Developing a point of view. How to edit, when to stop, and the quiet-luxury refinement that separates a room that photographs from a room that lasts.

02

Sourcing & Trade

Finding the rare piece. Building artisan and trade relationships, reading a workshop, and sourcing like an insider rather than a shopper.

03

Clients & Pricing

Winning the right work and pricing it without flinching. Proposals, scope, and the confidence to charge for taste.

04

Brand & Audience

Building a design brand and an audience the way Dominika built Kain Interiors, from a small account to 4M organic monthly views and over 60k followers in 3 months. Voice, content, and a practice with your name on it.

05

The Florence Lens

European reference points and real project breakdowns. Learning to see the way the Florentine tradition sees, proportion, material, restraint.

A few answers

Architects and early-career interior designers stepping into their own practice, technically trained, but looking to develop taste, a point of view, and a recognizable brand. If you can already model a room and want to learn how to make it taste like something, you're in the right place.
