“It all began with just one class of enthusiasts”
At just 18 our Founder, Amanda Grace, won Britain’s Young Designer of the Year and she hasn’t looked back, forging a career in education that champions industry led, real world learning. She established Sydney Design School in 2008 with a desire to do things differently. This award winning school is now a leader in Australian design education. In 2014 we launched Interior Design Online to give everyone access to our unique learning philosophy.
