Recently I had the pleasure of attending a presentation through The Interior Designers Hub on the topic of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Interior Design. Delivered by Vanessa Edwards @practically.fabulous it would be fair to say that at the beginning of her presentation there was a group of very worried Interior Designers who all believed that we would soon be out of a job, by the end of it we were definitely less worried and actually quite intrigued and interested to have a go ourselves!

I was about to start this blog by saying that I have always loved learning but then I paused; that isn’t 100% accurate. I actually really didn’t enjoy learning at school. As a child I found sitting still for hours and around other people incredibly difficult. It wasn’t until I entered Sixth Form and had more freedom to choose from a wider selection of subjects that I really started to enjoy learning. The subject that really ignited my joy of learning was at A level studying Psychology, which is ironic because it wasn’t my first choice – I had started studying Biology and just found it impossible to understand what the teacher was saying let alone understand the complex processes she was trying to teach. I begged to change; by chance a space had opened in the Psychology class and I convinced them to let me switch. I am so pleased they did because I then went onto read Applied Psychology & Computing at Bournemouth University. It is difficult to accurately explain just how much I love Psychology, in particular social psychology. What I loved most about it is that it is subjective, highly nuanced and there isn’t one right answer – which is the same for interior design.
