Hi Bridget,
I think it's wonderful that you want to pursue two different career paths. You can do both interior design and modeling. Multiple income streams is a great goal. Both careers are demanding and can bring satisfaction and income while allowing you to develop your creativity and style. The workplace has become much more flexible while doing business during the pandemic. Many companies need talented and reliable people and are willing to work with their staff and colleagues on schedule, work hours and work location. If you want to be self employed, you'll need passion, persistence and you'll undoubtedly work very long hours to develop your business. You can develop a plan that works for you and your employers/clients. Good luck pursuing both!

Hi Bridget,

It's great that you want to have two career paths. I believe that you can achieve both. You can go to school for interior design and take modeling classes on the side. You will have to learn how to schedule modeling castings around your interior design career. As someone else mentioned, it may be easier if you are a self-employed interior designer because you'll have more authority over client deadlines. Essentially, you can do both, you would just have to manage your time wisely so that you can perfect both of the crafts.

Bridget, it depends on what kind of Interior Designer you want to be. If you are self-employed and work with residential customers, most of your appointment will be evenings and weekends and you can work at different times during the week and schedule your modeling appointments. If you work in commercial interior design and are employed by a large company, you will probably work regular office hours. I hope this helps and good luck!

Linda’s Answer

Hello! Could you clarify your question? Did you want to do interior design and modeling but fear that interior design may be too stressful? Or are you considering interior design as your side job?

All jobs come with stress. You'll learn to juggle your work responsibilities with your life and make it work. But if not, you can always pivot and try another career. You don't know unless you try.
