Hello, I am Shay! I am trained in Architecture and have been practicing as an Architect and an Interior Designer since 2012.
I graduated in the National University of Singapore with a Master of Architecture, and also lectures at the Building Construction Authority, covering architectural design, design software, construction, design management and green design areas.
My passion in teaching brought me to Udemy and I have specially spent 6 months to craft out my very first course: Complete Introduction to Interior Design for Beginners.
Are you looking to pursue a career in Interior Design or Architecture?
Do you wish to learn how to design and plan spaces in an Interior Design or Architecture project?
Or are you interested in finding out more about the expectations and demands of being a competent Interior Designer or Architect?
My courses are designed in a way that are easy to follow and straight to the point, without fluff or just purely based on theories. I believe that a profession like Architecture or Interior Design is best learned when you are learning from real-life projects and experiences.
If you are an aspiring designer and want to learn more about architecture and design, then my courses are exactly tailor-made for you.

Was a very comprehensive course for a beginner ID student or budding enthusiast. Now I know I can build on the knowledge I have gained to become the hobby-interior designer that I always wanted to become. Thank you.

yes, I'm a beginner to interior design but an experienced professional of a different career path. I want to learn more on the subject as my husband invest in real estate and do our own renovation. I really like how the instructor talked about the reality of the people I will work with and connected the subject to architecture.

An amazing teacher who does an excellent job explaining the fundamentals of interior design in a clear and engaging way. I only wish the course had included instruction on CAD software as well, it would have made the learning experience even more complete.
By Joreen Ng on 3/13/2025
This course covers nearly everything I need to learn about interior design. It's comprehensive, and the case study is really helpful. I especially appreciate that he's using the Singapore context for teaching, as it made the material feel more relatable being a Singaporean myself. However, I was hoping the course would include a focus on ergonomics, but that aspect wasn't covered.

I feel that this course answered a lot of my questions that I had as a person that is new to interior design and wants to enter this field. I learned a lot and the fact that it was interactive with the exercises actually helped so much, as I felt that I was being introduced in a more practical part of interior design. Thank you for this course, I am glad that I was able to finish it and I will certainly come back to it when needed.

It's a good ENTRY level course for project management in interior design. The title of the course is quite misleading because I expected more technicalities than this. But overall, it is good.
By Markéta Kaya Holcmanová on 5/5/2024
I'd rather name this course "An Introduction to Home Renovation Management" because it is not focused on interior design (meaning which style, colours and materials to use), but more on planning the full usefulness of the given space and its renovation management. From this point of view, this course offers many points related to the important details that should be considered when thinking about your own or your client's home renovation including budgeting, time planning and issue-solving tips which I found very helpful and inspiring. This course is a good source of knowledge that I can get back to whenever I think about renovating any part of my home in the future. Thank you for the complexity and real-life examples :)

Such a wonderful introductory course! learning lots and getting such a clear idea of what it is like to work as an interior designer - so much to take into consideration. I would recommend this course as the basis for any aspiring interior designer. The teacher is very friendly, calm and clear too, which is great.
By Taylor Varney on 11/8/2023
Everything so far has been clear and easy to understand. The information is not being presented in an overwhelming way and I feel like it's a good idea to start off by setting expectations of what Interior Design is outside of the design aspect. Thanks, Shay!
