Hiring a Certified Interior Designer (C.I.D.) ensures that you will be working with an experienced and competent design professional.
If you have never worked with an Interior Designer before, the process can be overwhelming. Once you've decided to hire a designer, choosing the right one is of paramount importance. Many people call themselves Interior Designers, but be sure you hire someone who is truly qualified to execute the task at hand. This should be a professional who has been trained to guide you through dozens, sometimes hundreds, of decisions, challenges, and opportunities- all to a successful result.
A Certified Interior Designer is a design professional who through education, experience, training, and testing has been qualified to design, prepare, and submit any type of non-structural, non-seismic interior construction plans and specifications to local building departments.
