OUR MISSION
The vision of Heritage School of Interior Design is to empower the creativity of aspiring designers with a quality, hands-on education to achieve personal growth and professional success.
PERSONAL & PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
HSID students have a natural talent for design but need an education to translate their passion into exceptional design work. The Masters Program provides students with a thorough and well-rounded education which includes the majority of the courses we offer. Emphasis is placed on hands-on learning, which allows students to build a professional portfolio of design work throughout their time at HSID. Students develop and enhance their presentation skills to gain the confidence that is necessary in the industry.
PASSION & DIVERSITY
Each HSID location sits within the heart of creativity and attracts passionate people with unique backgrounds from each city, as well as nationally and internationally. At HSID we embrace diversity with our culture of inclusion. We welcome all students regardless of their race, ethnicity, age, religion, gender, sexual orientation, nationality, socio-economic status, or disabilities. Our diverse culture is vital for igniting innovative ideas and advancing knowledge.
COLLABORATION & SUPPORT
HSID provides ongoing support to alumni through our online platform, which our graduates can refer to for resources, job opportunities, and networking. Faculty is available for career coaching and guidance as needed. We foster a non-competitive, collaborative environment where everyone’s thoughts, creativity and designs are valued. We have a spirit of mutual respect and proactive thoughtfulness in all interactions.
ENTREPRENEURSHIP & CREATIVITY
Our graduates are creative design professionals. We take an ideas-driven critical thinking approach to our entrepreneurship course to explore creative businesses that are viable for our graduates such as studio practices, design firms or launching startups. Every student that completes the Masters Program is empowered with an extensive professional portfolio, cultivated sales and presentation skills, and a strategic business plan.
SUSTAINABILITY
We continue to integrate the most current sustainable practices for interior design into our course curriculum. We encourage our graduates to poise themselves as stewards of our environment as they develop their design practices.
✨Nicole Hopper Success Story✨
After 14+ years styling luxury homes, Nicole built a sharp eye and a thriving business, but wanted the tools to fully communicate and lead her design vision.
At HSID, everything clicked. From presentations to vendor connections, she gained the confidence and structure to move from executing designs to truly leading them.
Today, as Founder and Principal of @nicolehopperinteriors, she leads multiple high end residential projects across Seattle, with award winning work and national recognition.

The Portland Campus is truly fortunate to have @houseoftijana leading the Day Course Fundamentals.
A Masters Graduate of the Portland campus, Tijana brings a rare blend of talent and perspective as an interior designer, instructor, and photographer. Her eye is refined, her work thoughtful, and her ability to inspire the next generation is something special to witness.
We are especially proud to see her work featured in the latest issue of Heritage Design Magazine… a beautiful reflection of her artistry and voice.
