Video Inspiration - Interior Designers and Social Media

Ever wonder if some of your favorite Top Tier interior designers - those talented folks whose work we've all come to drool over online and in shelter magazines - use Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and other social media? A recent Donghia sponsored seminar featured some great designers and social media experts, and we're featuring a great video that should inspire you and other creative professionals to be more social and use all media outlets to best advantage. You have a brand to build (whether you're an interior designer, a jewelry designer, or an event or wedding planner), and it's important to take the time for social media. 

As mentioned in the video, designer David Scott has a nifty book we can recommend to you. Outside the Box shows you the factors that inspired David's top design projects. Very inspirational.




 

If you're interested in learning more about interior design and decor, we encourage you to explore the Sheffield School, New York, NY. Sheffield began as an Interior Design school in 1985, and then expanded our course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng ShuiWedding and Event Planning, and Jewelry Design. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, Sheffield has trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

    Wow, it looks like the book of David Scott is interesting. This is entitled "An Interior Designer's Innovative Approach" right? I'll try to buy it from amazon.

    Social media plays a big role in any kind of business or whatever your niche is. As an interior designer, it really helps me to get new ideas and get feedback about my project from different users online who shared the same passion.
