• Design Star or Design Scourge

• Mea Culpa Venus!

  PROFESSIONALINTERIORDESIGNER apologizes. Ms. Williams evidently does not need my guidance. She has taken a correspondence course in interior design and is already dispensing commercial interior design advice. Good for her.

• Dear Venus,

  Venus Williams is also an entrepreneur, holding a degree in fashion design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in Florida. She launched her clothing line, EleVen, in 2007, and said she also has interest in commercial interior design. They’re not her main priority yet, though.
