“Programa is recognised as a leader in project management software specifically aimed for Interior Designers. It was a no-brainer that we introduced this software into our course curriculum, as so much of what Interior Designers do is scheduling, quoting, documentation, procurement, etc. ”
Gabrielle RosenfeldLecturer
The ISCD (International School of Colour & Design) stands at the crossroads of tradition and innovation. Recognising that the design industry has become more tech-focused, ISCD are empowering their students with the skills and knowledge to become modern interior designers.
Central to their mission is the integration of Programa into their curriculum. Gabrielle Rosenfeld, Educator of Interior Design at ISCD, aptly describes Programa as ‘more than just a creative tool. It transforms our students’ approach to design projects.’
With Programa’s capabilities, ISCD amplifies its commitment to cutting-edge education.
ISCD’s Interior Decoration and Styling module will utilise the platform to streamline their students learning and capabilities whilst also making their assignments for time effcient. Gabrielle anticipates, ‘Tasks like creating mood boards, FF&E schedules, and sourcing will become straightforward.’
This isn’t just an introduction of a tool; it’s an evolution of the ISCD ethos.
“It sets them up early on as part of their training and education. Good habits are created early on in their journey to becoming an Interior Designer.”
Gabrielle RosenfeldLecturer
By embedding Programa into their foundational subjects like Interior Decoration and Styling — core segments of both their Diploma and Certificate IV programs — the institution ensures that students interact with and leverage the platform consistently. It’s about shaping the trajectory of design education, and in Gabrielle’s words, ‘Programa cultivates consistent best practices across all design phases. It’s not merely familiarisation; it’s preparation for the industry’s evolving demands.’
“We want students to have the confidence to use Programa when they start their own business or work for someone else that is already using it.”
Gabrielle RosenfeldLecturer
Through adopting Programa, ISCD champions a forward-thinking approach, fostering a generation of designers who are not only versed in theory but also in the tools that will define the industry’s future. The sentiment echoes in Gabrielle’s belief: ‘We aim to mold proficient, confident, and inventive future interior designers. With Programa, professional-grade documents become second nature to our students.’
