About this conversation

Architecture careers do not have to stay on the most obvious path. Interiors, contracting, retrofit and client-side delivery can all offer serious design work and a broader view of the industry.

Stephen Drew speaks with Enrique Soler of Willmott Dixon Interiors about moving from architecture into interior design and main contracting, building technical confidence and avoiding the trap of becoming too narrowly specialised.

The conversation covers:

How Enrique moved from architecture into interiors and contracting

Why technical skills matter in design-led delivery

How architects can add value inside interior design and contractor teams
