What Residential Interior Designers Are Saying
Two things that I love are design and people. For me, interior design starts with understanding my clients and helping them discover their personal style, then creating a space that truly reflects them. Sometimes it’s not about the latest trends or styles; it’s about making a client’s house feel like their home, only better!
"I am an advocate for clients’ hopes and dreams, in regards to their homes."
Kitchen redesign, a bathroom remodel, or optimizing a room or structure-- I am committed to learning my clients’ goals for their spaces and actualizing them for their ultimate satisfaction. RIDCQ certification assures my clients that I am driven to work for them; it indicates a determination for constant improvement to their benefit. Certification and continued education differentiate me from amateurs and hones my proven, solid, professional skills.

Being an Interior designer allows me to use my creativity and experience to create spaces that bring joy, clarity, style, and comfort to my clients. I believe it's not about me, it's all about the client. Your space should reflect you! Your Experiences, Your Travel, Your Culture, and Your History! The passion that I exude radiates to the client and they realize that I am truly there for them. I am their advocate and always have their best interest at heart! I absolutely LOVE what I do!
Always Designing, Karen
Interior Design is my absolute passion. Participating at Designer Trade Fairs, or the excitement when I receive new samples from vendors, feeling the textures and colors, with hundreds of ideas running through my mind, are just priceless. When designing a kitchen layout, the satisfaction when it comes to life in a 3D rendering and seeing the client’s reaction is overwhelming. Each project is unique, and each client is different from his/her specific sets of requirements and priorities. I believe one of the key ingredients to success in this industry is to listen and understand your client, in order for the design process to start on the right track. The passion and motivation for our work push ourselves towards the pursuit of excellence.

Interior Design for me is one way to share my gifts and passion for life. As a previous Physical Therapist, I focused on creating spaces that were functional and safe for my patients. As a Designer, I get to do that plus make their home aesthetically pleasing.
Interior Design is a perfect blend of serving others, creating beauty, and bringing joy to my clients!

Design is my passion! My client's
face on “Reveal Day” is my ultimate reward. Seeing tears of joy, overwhelmed as they see their vision for their home is now a reality...makes months of planning, late nights, broken nails and behind the scenes work...worth every moment!

My passion
Being an interior designer means to well, everything to me. I see interior design as much more than just selecting colors, fabrics, and furniture and putting them together. It's about appreciating that the spaces we design are where people will live and work each day. Our clients invite us into their homes and workspaces completely exposing their lives and all the flaws in their homes/offices. We as designers must gain a client’s complete trust to accurately interpret their design desires, needs, and successfully deliver a result that improves the way they live and work. Interior design is not necessarily about the talent we bring to a project but more about how the design can improve the client's life.

For me, being an interior designer is FANTASTIC because I get to wake up
each day and be like the most extraordinary and exceptional designer
ever. GOD created SO much inspiration throughout my surroundings and
the world that I can use daily to help guide me with design projects.
To have a creative mentality not only to transform people's
surroundings, but their life is beyond transcending and a powerful gift.
Thank you!

Ask yourself: What do you want to feel when you walk into a room?
Creating a deeper relationship with my clients in order to truly understand their needs and their style is very important to me.
I want my clients to be able to come home every day and say “ Wow, I have a wonderful home"
Being a certified designer fills me with a sense of validation, reassurance, and motivation. The experience and knowledge gained from this course have led me on the right path as I pave my way towards success within my dream career.

"Becoming a certified designer has opened up a new world to me, I am finally able to use my creativity to bring happiness and beauty to someone's home. My eyes are now open everywhere I go, whether through travel or just walking into someone's home. I take in the architecture, I try to visualize the exquisite design by other designers and it really feels like a career choice that will let me utilize my talents."
I chose the field of interior design to be self-sufficient and to be able to work a flexible schedule to support my kids. As a single mom of college, high, middle, and elementary kids, Interior design has inspired me, to show them the can-do attitude that will set them apart from others, no matter where they go.
Thank you.

Hi! Thanks for the opportunity!
First off, this certification is really exciting because this is a career path that I’m super excited about. I currently work for Restoration Hardware and I know there 
are numerous opportunities for myself. After graduation from WCU, I decided I wanted to further my education and learn new skills.
Thanks!
Victoria Bartholomew
I am a residential interior designer from the Bronx, New York. My passion for interior design is motivated by the ability to turn any space into something truly spectacular. It allows me to create and recreate and bring out the artist in myself in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
“Design to me is creating a story and a feeling when you walk into or see a picture of space. It needs to spark inspiration, bend the rules & is always over the top with details.”
I'm a minimalist with a passion for the Bauhaus design style. Completed my course with the New York Institute of Arts & Design. 
Good evening ... I know this is the career for me since every lesson is enjoyable and a learning experience. I have not found anything to be boring. Even in the areas that I feel that I am naturally good at, I still find that I am learning something new. I wish I would have started this career choice 20 years ago! I look forward to each lesson and my new future. A person is never too old to learn something new or start a new path.
Have a beautiful day!
