The Business of Pivoting Careers

Interior design is a common second or third career, with many designers coming to the profession from vastly different jobs. And it’s not uncommon for designers to change direction within the industry itself — say, going from a design firm to a dealer or manufacturer. In this webinar, we’ll explore how to leverage transferable skills, forge a unique career path, and pivot with confidence.
