In a bid to strengthen capacity and enhance service delivery within the creative industry, leading luxury interior design and architectural firm, Vickyheldan Interior Designs and Architecture, has organised an empowerment masterclass for interior designers in Lagos, equipping participants with the skills needed to build sustainable brands and deliver more effective services.

The initiative, which is also scheduled to hold in Abuja and Delta State, forms part of the company’s contribution to the growth of Africa’s creative ecosystem, an industry that generates billions of naira in revenue and provides employment opportunities for thousands of young people.

Speaking during the programme in Lagos, the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vickyheldan Interior Designs and Architecture, Victory Njoku, said the interior decoration sector has continued to witness remarkable growth, driven by the increasing demand for functional and aesthetically appealing spaces.

According to her, the mentorship platform created by the firm is designed to foster leadership, creativity and strategic partnerships capable of enhancing the performance of Africa’s design ecosystem.

“Our intention is to equip the next generation of leaders of Africa’s design ecosystem with the needed skills to build structure, strategy and become the brand authority they are hoping to become,” she said.

Njoku noted that Vickyheldan Interior Designs and Architecture, a multiple award-winning luxury interior and architectural design company, has consistently distinguished itself through excellence and innovation in the design and execution of residential and commercial projects.

She explained that the company specialises in full-service design, including remodelling, architectural design, custom-made furniture, local and international sourcing of premium pieces, interior and exterior planning, styling and project execution.

According to her, the company has not only carved a niche for itself in the industry but has also set a benchmark for luxury living in Africa, with a philosophy rooted in precision, functionality and sophistication.

“With a legacy of excellence and a growing global presence, we remain committed to redefining luxury and shaping spaces that elevate the art of living,” she added.

Also speaking, Wealth Strategist and Financial Educator, Aisha Adedeji, described the training as timely, stressing that it would help professionals in the interior decoration sector improve their operational efficiency and manage their brands more effectively for increased profitability.

She said the knowledge shared at the masterclass would empower participants with the financial and business skills required to build thriving enterprises.

Meanwhile, the firm has announced plans to offer five free slots to aspiring interior decorators as the masterclass moves to Abuja on June 25 before proceeding to Asaba, Delta State.
