HAPPY 2021…..I HOPE!

I have been intentionally quiet the past 9 months or so. How the profession of Interior Design presents itself to the public and advocates for it’s right to be peers with, or act independent of, our allied licensed design professionals really can wait until we can all stop trying not to get sick.

Interior Design & Politics

In case you missed ASID’s latest take on the state of the profession in regard to government regulation; http://www.nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/id/20200102/index.php?startid=34 We all have more important things to worry about right now….but when we come out of this tunnel I will continue to voice an independent perspective on the state of the “interior design” profession.

The Interior Design Profession-10 Years Gone.

Belated happy 2020……hopefully your vision matches the new year….or is that hindsight? Well hopefully your vision and your hindsight are 20/20. PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER woke up this morning feeling a bit melancholy and nostalgic ….getting older has a way of doing that to one’s psyche. Assuming you do not wake up dead, which is a great way…

and she is an “interior designer”…… then why would I want to be a “certified” version of this? https://www.ktnv.com/morningblend/dwg-home-decor-11-22-19 Once again if we, the code regulated commercial interior designers of America, wish to establish a public image that demands understanding and respect we need to do one of two things; Establish a public messaging campaign…

AN OPEN LETTER TO INTERIOR DESIGN STUDENTS IN THE GOOD ‘OLE U.S. of A.

So this article from the Louisiana State University Reveille came across my screen yesterday; https://www.lsureveille.com/news/some-lsu-interior-design-students-want-to-change-degree-name/article_05974fc2-01f5-11ea-9f21-170a20137f86.html First I commend the LSU ID students and faculty for taking on this issue.
