We’re back with our first ‘Building with Buildher’ episode of 2026 and if the new year has you reassessing your direction or daydreaming about design, you’re not alone. Rebeka and Rebecca unpack one of the most common questions they hear from women:
“What should I actually study if I’m interested in design?”
Today, we explore how to navigate those thoughts with clarity, not guesswork!
From interior design degrees to architecture, drafting, digital tools, on-the-job learning and everything in between, they break down what really matters – not the title on the certificate, but the outcome you’re working towards
This episode is a reality check on:
-
Why starting with education instead of outcomes often leads to frustration
-
The difference between designing for yourself, designing for clients, and designing for profit
-
When a degree makes sense, and when it absolutely doesn’t
-
How working inside a practice can fast-track your skills faster than years of study
-
Why “loving the pretty stuff” is only a small part of the picture
Rebeka and Rebecca also share their own career pivots, hard-earned lessons, and why clarity around lifestyle, autonomy, flexibility and scale should shape your decisions just as much as creativity.
