From IDO graduate to SDS student to working for an SDS alumni. Worlds collide! Alice Cleret studied the Certificate IV in Interior Decoration online with us at Interior Design Online, then reached out to Sydney Design School graduate Josie Simpson of Altus Design Studio, and now she's fully embracing her career change.
Alice is working part-time at Altus while she studies the Diploma of Interior Design on campus at Sydney Design School.
Repost from Altus for the full introduction:
Meet Alice. Studio Coordinator. Quiet operator. Dessert sceptic.
Alice has joined us as Studio Coordinator and Design Support, working part-time while she studies Interior Design and makes a career change into the industry.
French by birth, she spent the first five years of her life in Cameroon, her high school years in New York, studied at university in Canada and worked in London before eventually finding her way to Sydney. It's fair to say she brings a fairly international outlook to our Balmain studio.
At Altus, Alice is the one keeping everything moving. Superstar organisational skills, a very good eye for detail, and that rare knack of quietly getting on with things and having them done before anyone thinks to ask.
Outside the studio she's an avid reader and, most remarkably, has no sweet tooth whatsoever, remaining entirely unmoved by the smell of baked goods drifting up from our neighbours at Sandy Bake Shop. Something we're still trying to understand!
