Being in interior design business for more than a decade, I have heard all kinds of backgrounds the interior designers were from, from showroom sales, furniture store sales, department store sales, artists, hair stylists, make-up artists, to teachers and house wives, you name it, but when I learned a well-known interior designer from South Florida who used to be a truck driver, I was speechless.
I have to ask why the interior design field in the US is full of the designers who are not professionally trained, not NCIDQ certified, not state licensed but all can be design firm owners and make a fortune but those who are formally trained as interior designers, NCIDQ certified, and state licensed interior designers can barely survive?! Why has interior design become a profession that is un-professional leading professional? What is wrong with interior design business? Has any interior design organization been doing anything about it? Has any design school been doing anything about it? I am outraged to see those armatures who are making all the money while professionally trained designers are struggling to survive, not only it is wrong but unfair to the consumers.
