Payback Time

Will I get results overnight or at least pay back my investment in Your Unique Home Design Personality course by the time my next home improvement project is completed?

“What Is The PayBack Time After Doing Your Unique Home Design Personality Course?” “Can I Get Overnight Results?” “Overnight” is 8-10 hours technically, so if you do an “all-nighter” watching and doing the exercises within the 10 pillars of Your Unique Home Design Personality course …then you might know your design personality by the morning…    The result will be that you are definitely tired! I am not sure that is the “payback” you were after 🙂     OK, putting that turn-of-phrase aside;   How Long Will It Take for You to Understand Your Design Personality? It depends!   Assuming

Design For You As A Qualified Interior Designer And Architect

Does ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ include designing my specific renovation or room refresh?

No, in a nutshell.   The ‘Your Unique Home Design Personality’ coursework takes you up to the point where you begin the design process.   I ask you to put down the paint charts, and your sketchbooks with possible concept ideas, and STOP pushing that big ‘green-means-go’ action button, so you can get fully prepared to take on the complexities of a new renovation, room refresh, or design from scratch.   If that disappoints you, then you may not be suited to this course. I only want people who want to achieve outstanding results in their renovating journey and know

How Much Time Do I Need to Commit each Week to Your Unique Home Design Personality?

How Much Time Do I Need To Commit Each Week To Your Unique Home Design Personality?   There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question.   It is almost impossible to answer because every Your Unique Home Design Personality student starts from a different place and has their own unique circumstances and experiences…   For example, Are you currently working full-time or part-time? Do you have dependent children?   Another big question: Are you 100% DIY, or are you going to use a design professional to design the look and feel of the room based on your home design personality
