Do I need special training to know how to talk to interior designers?

No. As an artist, you don’t need to learn their technical language about measurements and materials—that’s not expected. Interior designers don’t expect you to be an interior designer. Just be yourself and be bold. Walk in with a beautifully curated catalog of your work shown in room settings. Focus on regular marketing: create content telling your story, show who you are, and make it clear you’re open to working with designers. One artist landed a $25,000 interior design deal simply because the designer’s daughter followed her on Instagram and showed her mom at the dinner table. The key is consistent, authentic marketing that puts your work and personality out there, not mastering industry jargon.
