Yes. We have members from across the globe and the majority of the training focuses on practical design skills, project workflows, client management and business principles that apply internationally as well as personalised guidance during the Q&A and mentorship sessions. Jo also works on projects around the world and continues to mentor designers from many different countries.

Good. Neither do we! You don’t need more information, you need to know what to do next. IntoDesign helps you focus on the skills, actions and projects that move your career forward, rather than wasting time learning things you’ll never use! IntoDesign is not built around binge-watching lessons. It’s built around helping you take action. Whether you have thirty minutes a week or several hours, the goal is to keep moving forward.

IntoDesign is designed to fit around real life. Focus on the skills, projects and next steps that matter to you right now, and ignore everything else until you’re ready for it.

That’s a bit like worrying you’ll not finish a design career. IntoDesign grows with you. The things you need when you’re looking for your first client are very different from the things you’ll need when you’re running multiple projects. The goal isn’t to complete everything!

That’s completely normal. Many members join before they’ve worked on their first project. IntoDesign helps you build the skills, experience and confidence to become ready for clients, while teaching you how to attract them when the time comes.

You don’t need a portfolio to get your first projects. Many designers spend years waiting until they have the perfect website and portfolio before putting themselves out there. In reality, your skills, confidence and ability to solve problems matter far more. The portfolio can be built as you gain experience.

Absolutely. IntoDesign was built on the belief that great designers come from all kinds of backgrounds. Whether you’re self-taught, university-trained or changing careers entirely, what matters most is building skills, gaining experience and learning how real projects work in practice.

This is one of the most common reasons people join. Education can teach you design, but confidence usually comes from experience. Through Studio Projects, mentoring and real-world examples, you’ll see how projects are actually delivered and start building confidence in your own abilities.

The challenge isn’t usually choosing the project. It’s knowing how to run it properly. An e-design project, a room design, a full renovation and a luxury home all require different processes, deliverables, fees and levels of experience. Through the SML Project System, you’ll learn how different project types work and even follow real projects from start to finish inside Jo’s own studio.

Most designers feel that way at first. The problem is that confidence usually comes after your first consultation, your first client and your first project, not before. IntoDesign helps you build the skills, experience and support needed to take those first steps.

Great. Many members join at exactly this stage. IntoDesign isn’t just about getting started. It’s about helping you attract better clients, work on more rewarding projects, increase your fees and build a business that’s more profitable, predictable and enjoyable to run.

Yes. IntoDesign isn’t a collection of courses that leaves you to figure everything out alone (although you can do that if you prefer). Those who get the most out of it make use of our weekly support calls, classes, workshops, masterclasses and a community of designers who are all building their careers alongside you.

Because becoming an interior designer isn’t a monthly project. It takes time to build skills, gain experience, work on projects and grow a business. We’ve designed IntoDesign to support that journey, rather than encouraging the quick-fix approach that leaves so many designers stuck. Most people underestimate how much they can achieve in a year and overestimate what they can achieve in a month. IntoDesign is designed to support long-term progress, helping you build skills, confidence, experience and a successful design career one step at a time.

IntoDesign isn’t designed to help you complete a course. It’s designed to help you become a successful interior designer. That’s why you’ll find real projects, mentoring, software, tools, masterclasses, community support and practical skills all in one place, helping you build your career one step at a time.
