Embracing the New Role of the Kitchen Designer

Then you will want to enroll in :

Before the social media explosion of online inspiration apps, the kitchen designer controlled both the function and the aesthetics of the space being designed.

Now, the homeowner often arrives at the first meeting with the door style, cabinet finish, countertop, backsplash and decorative hardware already chosen - along with images to back up their choices!

This course will address this phenomenon and show how to complement their focus while increasing your value tin their project.

A design for a Post-Covid Kitchen will be highlighted to illustrate a winning strategy for you. 

We will also discuss how you can differentiate yourself in the competitive market of kitchen design and produce social media-worthy images yourself.
