“Becoming an Interior Designer is the go-to book for an inside look at the profession of interior design today. The advice from a broad range of practitioners and educators about the professional requirements and business of interior design make it an invaluable tool for those contemplating an interior design career. The added bonus is Christine’s ability to draw out from her interviewees the common passion for improving quality of life, which is a rarely referenced quality of a successful interior designer.”
