Careers in Interior Design with Maria Ramirez at BB Interiors

Careers in Interior Design with Maria Ramirez at BB Interiors

Interior design careers are often misunderstood from the outside. The work is creative, but it also depends on technical coordination, procurement, client handling and a clear eye for detail.

Stephen Drew speaks with Maria Ramirez of BB Interiors about the role of an interior designer, how interiors overlap with architecture, what FF&E really involves and what candidates need to show when applying for interior design roles.

The conversation covers:

  • How Maria moved from architecture into interior design
  • The difference between interior architecture, interior design and FF&E
  • Why delivery, schedules and suppliers matter as much as mood boards
  • What makes a strong interior design portfolio and interview
  • How AI visual tools are starting to affect the design conversation
