Interesting Stuff The Michigan Chapter would like to congratulate Heather Hochstetter, ASID on the birth of her daughter. Heather and her family will be moving to Florida to start a business there. All the best, Heather! The Michigan Chapter wants to extend appreciation to Jacqueline and Franklin Riley for hosting an event at the Riley Galleries Rapture for Grand Rapids area designers. Jacqueline and Franklin are new Industry Partner members and their gallery works almost exclusively with interior designers. They offer a wide variety of original artwork and will accommodate a client on the designer's behalf. They have a great visual showroom area that is totally reworked every month. The chapter is fortunate to have the Riley Galleries Rapture as Industry Partners. |
Important
Consumer & In an unknown interior designers office somewhere in Michigan: What's this? Oh, it's that darn application for the interior designer's list. I don't want to fill this blankety blank thing out! It takes too much time! I've got stuff to do!!! It's intimidating! Why do I have to give them all this information just to sign up for a stupid list? A list! A list of what? Oh, a list of "qualified" interior designers. Well, I guess, if I think of myself as a qualified interior designer, I need to be on the list. I can't believe that all we got, after all this work, is a list. A LIST! Well, if 105 architects signed up to be on the list, maybe I had better get my name in there, too: All right! Now, let's
see....Name: I know that. No, I haven't been convicted of
anything!!!... Hey, this isn't so bad. How could I have filled out an application before? They just came out. Oh yeah, they will use this application later and need to know if I was rejected before...Ha, reject me, not on your life. I have been doing design since before the first millennium, or some days it just seems like that! NO, I am not a licensed architect. Why did 105 apply in the first approval? They must know something I missed with all this. Okay, now we get to interior design. Boy, if I had passed the NCIDQ, all I would have to do is put my number here, call NCIDQ at 202-721-0220 to have them mail a confirmation to the Department of Consumer and Industry Services (CIS) and send in my money with this application signed and I am done. But, I never got around to taking the NCIDQ. So, I have to document my design experience. Big grumble, grumble, grumble! Okay...if I went to college for interior design, I could do the old education, transcript gambit, call my college, send them a check, they forward my transcripts in Sanskrit (well maybe it wasn't that long ago) to CIS. But, I didn't go to college in design. So it is six years of experience for me. |
