Priya's Thursday, Two Ways
9 lessons · 24 prompts
A day in the life of an Interior Designer: what changes with these prompts.
Track progress as a memberPriya is a residential interior designer at a small studio.
Priya starts Thursday with a client meeting for a two-bedroom apartment. The clients want a calm reading corner and a place for their dog's bed. After the meeting, Priya opens ChatGPT and uses the Client Discovery prompt to turn her messy notes into a clear brief. She adds the room sizes and the clients' wish for low-maintenance fabrics.
Next, she uses the Concept Development prompt to generate three directions for the living room. One idea is a warm neutral scheme with a curved sofa. She asks the AI to stress-test the idea for small spaces and gets a list of questions about walkway width. She checks the measurements herself and adjusts.
After lunch, Priya uses the Space Planning prompt in Claude. She enters the room dimensions and the furniture list. The AI suggests two layouts that keep a clear path to the balcony. Priya compares them, picks the one that gives the dog bed a sunny spot, and saves both for the client.
Before she leaves, she uses the Budgets and Estimates prompt in Gemini to build a client-friendly budget from her material choices. The AI flags a sofa that pushes the total too high, so she finds a similar one for less. With the time she saves, Priya takes her own dog for a long walk before dinner.
