NCIDQ

The right mix of specialists on a project can save you time and money—and reduce your liability as well. Make sure you require the same level of competence from your interior designers as you do from the architectural, engineering and other building professionals on your team. All NCIDQ Certificate holders have been educated, trained and examined to protect public health, safety and welfare. When you hire an NCIDQ Certificate holder, you hire a professional with proven knowledge, experience and proficiency in the latest interior design principles and practices, contract documents and administration and decision-making skills.

Like the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards, NCIDQ is composed of U.S. and Canadian regulatory boards—and we take our responsibility to protect the public seriously. NCIDQ Certificate holders have completed a minimum of six years of specialized education and experience and passed a rigorous, two-day exam based on NCIDQ's independent, comprehensive analysis of the profession and the daily practice of interior designers in a range of settings.

The NCIDQ Certificate meets the interior design profession's legal and regulatory standards established by 29 U.S. states and Canadian provinces as well as Puerto Rico and the District of Columbia. However, unlike architecture, in most of these states and provinces the practice of interior design is unregulated. That means your greatest assurance of high qualifications is the NCIDQ Certificate.

Testimonials

I have worked on two residential design/build projects with Kristen totaling nearly $10 million in construction and interior finishes. Kristen provided detailed design and drawings for all interior finish details and architectural focal points throughout both homes. Her organization and attention to detail made tracking design changes much more streamline as we maintained aggressive construction schedules. Kristen was responsible for all material acquisition and shipping on interior finishes ranging from tile to custom made architectural pieces. She also provided direction to contractors in order to adhere to very strict design specifications. I would recommend using her and Studio 10 on any project. Kristen’s work bridged the gap between design and construction.

I have had the pleasure to work with Kristen Terjesen on a largemulti-million dollar custom residence. The residence had a very high level of detail and specific owner required design elements. Kristen came on board after the project was underway. She had no problem picking up mid stream. She did an excellent job in finishing the project and I know the owners are very satisfied. Kristen has a very good design eye and is an extremely quick study. She is very diligent at all assigned tasks and is very thorough in completing all tasks. I have worked with many designers during my career and have a very high regard for Kristen’s design and work product.
