TechDesign ’20
The Technology School for Interior Designers – From Novice to Nerd in Just 2 Hours
Thursday, February 6th, 9.00 – 11.00 AM
8.00 – 9.00 AM: Registration and light breakfast
Technology is not a tool for tomorrow’s design. It’s already arrived. So, if you’re not tech-savvy, not only is your design business not operating at peak efficiency, but you’re leaving valuable dollars on the table as well – a common challenge for the majority of Bay Area interior designers, including the most experienced and successful.
Capitalizing on the success of last year’s inaugural program, TechDesign ’20 takes you on a role-playing journey as we accompany acclaimed and tech-savvy interior designer Jon de la Cruz and his client through an actual, real-time design project while incorporating the latest leading interior design technologies to execute the assignment.
You will learn how today’s technology can help you to:
- Use CAD programs to design and present your work in a manner that is timely, budget-friendly, and client-centric
- Manage and budget the project to deliver maximum profitability (for you) and precise budget management (for your clients)
- Source design materials online, including furniture, fabrics, accessories, etc.
- Integrate all of your tech programs into one manageable platform for efficient collaboration and communication with your clients
- Gain clients through more effective business development techniques
