After years spent as a lone wolf in the interior design industry, it's normal to find yourself stuck in a rut. Interior design is a rewarding but sometimes isolating industry, especially if you're a solopreneur!
But we know how much community can affect our creativity and so it is important to stay connected to your fellow creatives, near or far.
The perfect solution for busy interior designers? Digital collectives.
An interior design collective is an online community for professionals in the interior design space. Digital interior design collectives act as a space to learn, expand your network, and build visibility in the industry—most importantly, you'll never feel like you're alone in your journey again.
Want to take reinvigorate your creativity and take your interior design game to the next level? Join an interior design digital collective to enjoy endless opportunities and a support network like no other!
