Blueprint Conference
The Blueprint conference is an annual conference organised by Jenniez School of African Interior Design. It is a unique conference involving expert design professionals and business experts who come together to empower interior designers, skilled workers, creatives, manufacturers and small to medium enterprises in the design industry, to become successful in the business of design through practical tools, guidance and motivation which helps in taking their businesses to the next level.
The conference will be held on the 10th of November 2018 at Radisson Blu Hotel Ikeja.
WHO WE ARE
The design industry is one of the fastest growing communities in the creative sector. Although emerging talents have learned and developed creative skills, many have limited knowledge and experience on how to run a business. The Blueprint Conference is an opportunity to empower them with the necessary business skills.
This premier annual conference is the only program that brings design industry partners together once in a year to share business ideas and design issues. It will also help in developing healthy and positive associations amongst industry partners. At the Blueprint Conference we expect lots of industry partners from all over the country.
Hosted By Jennifer Chukwujekwe
Jennifer Chukwujekwe is a wife, mother and a Geology graduate with a Masters in Applied Computing and IT from the University of Bedfordshire, UK. Her passion for creating beautiful spaces led to her pursuing a career in Interior Design. She is a graduate of the Interior Design Institute, UK.
An Experienced Interior Designer and a member of the Interior Design Association Nigeria, She is also the Founder of Jenniez School of African Interior Design and Creative Director Jenniez Designs. She started out with an interior design blog called Jenniez design concept and Facebook group called Design Club which is now a social club for upcoming interior decorators who hangout to learn and share knowledge and experience in the industry.
JSAID was founded to bridge the gap in interior decorating education in Nigeria and Africa. She observed that the few interior design schools in Nigeria who offered interior design certifications, were actually offering interior decoration courses as interior design courses, JSAID is proud to be an approved educator of the Certified Interior Decorators International Florida.
From the experience of having an interior decoration school, she realised most design professionals had the design skills but didn’t know how to run a successful interior design business. Hence the introduction of her online course which was launched on the 25th of June 2018 -The Pro Designers Blueprint which teaches all you were never taught in design school.
She is a mentor at Fate Foundation and a protégé of Steve Harris coaching program. She has undergone courses with top international interior design business coaches and she is now a Design Business Coach.
