Hello Mr. Vicente Wolf,

My name is Tiffany Kim, and I am a graphic designer aspiring to be an interior designer. I have always loved interior design, and I am now studying to be an interior designer. I absolutely love your work! You are incredibly talented and an inspiration to me! Do you have any advice for a young design student starting out in this field? Thank you so much!!!

Hi Tiffany -

Thank you for the compliments! My first piece of advice is to try get a job, even if it is as an apprentice for a firm. In my experience you can learn a lot in school, but only from practicing do you really get to hone your skills. In deciding who you go to – here are two points of views: if they’re not very good as designers, you can learn what NOT to do. If they’re very good as designers, you get to experience how a successful, professional office works. You have to decide what you want to learn. Wishing you all the best.

Vicente
