WHY SHOULD YOU HIRE A CERTIFIED INTERIOR DESIGNER?
Hiring a Certified Interior Designer ensures that you'll be working with an experienced and competent design professional.
CALIFORNIA BUILDING CODES
By passing the California Codes and Regulations Exam, Certified Interior Designers have demonstrated, through education, experience and examination, their knowledge of the Uniform Building Code as it relates to space planning, life safety, flammability and disabled access code issues.
NCIDQ TEST
In addition, Deborah has also passed the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) test, a two day comprehensive professional exam. The test topics include the principles and practices of interior design, contract administration, the use of drawings, pictures, symbols, as well as universal design and the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). Candidates must also complete a practicum section to demonstrate the application of design principles. Despite an extremely strict application process, only 44% of candidates pass all three sections of the test.
ETHICS
Most importantly, the Certified Interior Design professional has pledged to uphold strict standards, including the CCIDC Code of Ethics, further ensuring quality design services to you, the client.
