Meet alumnus Adam Knight of @nefarious_interior_design , recently recognised by Homes & Gardens as their ‘Next in Design 2025’ winner ✨ After graduating in 2012, Adam built experience across leading studios including Salvesen Graham and Nicola Harding, as well as working in-house on international restaurant projects for Jamie Oliver. In 2020, they founded their own studio, Nefarious Interiors, driven by a passion for creating spaces that bring joy. "The word “nefarious” means “to be wicked,” and we embrace that by breaking rules, challenging conventions, and turning negatives into positives within the spaces we design. Whether working with commercial or residential clients, our goal is to make interior design accessible to everyone. " From central London townhouses and Georgian manor houses to restaurants and even doggy daycares, the studio’s diverse portfolio reflects a bold and personal approach to design. Their work has earned widespread recognition, most recently being named ‘Next in Design 2025’. We asked Adam what advice they would give to aspiring designers… "say yes to as many opportunities as possible. Be open to new ideas, processes, and experiences which is how you truly learn. Networking is equally important, as interior design is a people-driven industry built on relationships. Finally, be yourself. Your individuality is what will ultimately attract studios and clients alike."

Life after graduation 🎓 Alumni, Caio Xerri-Alves @caioxerrialves studied at KLC School of Design before going on to found BLAK Creative Studio @blakcreativestudio a Dubai-based interior architecture studio specialising in high-end residential and hospitality projects. After a 15-year career with Emirates Airlines as a Flight Purser, Caio made the decision to change careers at 39... proving it’s never too late to start again ✨ We asked Caio what advice he’d give to aspiring interior designers who are looking to start their own business… “Start before you feel ready—you will never have all the answers. Learn the business side early. Understanding pricing, contracts, and cash flow is just as important as developing your creative skills. Focus on solving problems rather than trying to impress. Clients value clarity, confidence, and reliability. Be selective with your projects. Not every opportunity is the right one, and learning to say no is part of building a strong foundation. And most importantly, don’t let timing define your path. Changing careers later in life is not a disadvantage—it can be a strength.” Read more by heading over to the 'Stories & Articles' section on our website, link in bio 🔗 . . . #InteriorDesign #KLCSchoolOfDesign #InteriorDesignCareer #CareerChange #DesignInspiration

✨ Student Spotlight: Robyn Tilley ✨ As part of their final project, BA (Hons) Interior Design students developed a detailed working drawing package for a commercial staircase within a central London retail space. Robyn Tilley’s design for lifestyle brand Glassette is inspired by the concept coalescence, bringing materials together to form a unified whole. Combining concrete, woven metal mesh, oak and planting, the staircase balances strength with lightness to create a striking architectural feature. Using Revit, Robyn brought the concept to life through detailed drawings and visuals.
