Student Stories
“When looking for an interior design school, I chose IDI because of its excellent reputation and the positive things I was hearing from IDI graduates and students alike. I was attracted to the smallness of the school and felt that it was a good fit for my interior design education. The education I received at IDI set me up well for my future career in design. As the principal of Haus of Design, I am fortunate to work in an industry I love and work with other creatives who inspire me daily! I also value the connection I still maintain with IDI, as some of our best interns have come from the school, and we have also hired IDI graduates as designers at the company.”
