Women Filling the Space in spaces Transformation
Fueled by a dynamic entrepreneurial spirit, robust technological infrastructure, highly skilled human workforce and industry 4.0, every industry is skyrocketing today and Interior designing is no different. Generally, interior designing refer to the designing of offices, work rooms, boardrooms, and other spaces inside corporations to promote infrastructure, appearance, easy operations, optimizes space efficiency and more. Typically, the Interior designers design commercial interiors work with the corporate clients to create professional yet tasteful environment for dynamic corporations. While at the academic level, design and interior programs not only attract more female students, but also the profession seems to retain it.
Competent Women Workforce:
Being a new age profession interior designing welcomes strong, powerful and agile workforce including both men and women to be a part of it and excel through their careers as designers. But the fact is, it was not at all a cakewalk for women to just enter into this new age profession. Like any other professions, women throughout the globe in the profession of design have struggled to a great extend to find themselves a place at the table. As a result, today the industry skews largely towards women. As per a study, out of the 87,000 interior de-signers in the US, 69 percent are women. However, the scenario is different in India, as the industry is only at its nascent stage in the country and just as any other jobs; women have to confront gender disparities, social bias and what not. But today, a number of women are breaking the glass ceiling to compete with their men counterparts and making inroads in the creative world of interior designing.
