Seminar Spotlight: Insights and Reviews from Attendees

​

STUDIO ASHBY

Jorge and his IDT seminars have been of enormous benefit to our design team. In a busy studio, it's very difficult to find the opportunity to pause and invest time in the development and technical skills of our team, so for Jorge to have created a ready made, very well considered and incredibly detailed set of seminars, which teach our team exactly what they need to know to be great interior designers, is of great help and frankly - a no brainer investment. With his years of experience, he knows exactly what is needed too so it's all really relevant and practical. Our designers have really enjoyed it and learnt so much! Sophie Ashby.

• There was a perfect level of detail – fit for purpose arming a designer with the knowledge needed to discuss with contractors / consultants with confidence. Ally Bercich, STUDIO ASHBY

​​

• It was exactly what I expected. I found breaking down each section really helpful and the level of detail was enough to give you the basic understanding without complicating it too much. I appreciated that even though these were suggestions or solutions to problems, you could take them as inspiration and tweak them to fit your design. I also really appreciated the emphasis on capturing issues early and making sure that drawings are drawn correctly! Its common sense but something if not first done correctly can cause issues further on in the projec. tBryn Sowden, STUDIO ASHBY.

• ​For me, one of the most important things you mentioned is to draw things properly from day 1 and emphasising on catching things early, talking to contractors/supplies/etc in the early stages of the project to avoid issues down the line. This is great advice. Sandra Giné, STUDIO ASHBY.

NATALIA MIYAR ATELIER

Having worked alongside Jorge Khawam for many years and I can attest to his skill, talent and passion. His mentorship through the Interior Desing Tools seminars has been an invaluable learning resource for my team. His approach is both knowledgeable and engaging, founded on first hand industry-based experience.  The course has undoubtedly refined the work of my junior team, who often lack practical knowledge in real-life scenarios relating to designing spaces. I have seen a huge growth in the confidence and practical understanding of those he has worked with. This has been a worthwhile investment, and I cannot recommend the IDT seminar enough to businesses looking to support the growth and development of their team no matter what stage they are.

• The topics were extensively covered, delving into the fundamentals of interior architecture. This has and will be immensely beneficial and practical. Marharyta Syzonenko, NATALIA MIYAR ATELIER​

​​

• The seminar's emphasis on practical aspects aligns with the real-life demands of Interior Design and Architecture. While my education at the University of Westminster provided a solid foundation in transforming spaces and conceptual work, I believe there could have been more emphasis on real-world applications and design solutions to better prepare for professional environments. Berfin Erdogan, NATALIA MIYAR ATELIER

• Before attending the seminar, I lacked practical knowledge in real-life scenarios related to designing spaces. When faced with tasks, I often felt overwhelmed due to my limited awareness of available options. Your seminar has been instrumental in broadening my understanding, providing numerous opportunities, and empowering me to approach space design more confidently. The insights into appropriate finishes, materials, and other aspects have significantly enhanced my skill set. I plan to leverage your guide for ongoing professional development, incorporating your valuable advice and experiences into my practice. Olivia Van der Hagen, NATALIA MIYAR ATELIER
