On today’s episode of Architectette we feature a conversation with Julianne Peters. Julianne is an interior designer at Hellyer Lewis Smith, founder of Design Success Network, and is also a multi-term leader of her local PA/NJ/DE IIDA Chapter.
We talk about:
- Julianne’s early career experiences, how she navigated challenges during the pandemic, the roles and responsibilities of her current position, and the challenge of taking and passing the NCIDQ exams.
- The importance of legislation both on a national and a state level to protect the title of interior designers, the ability to sign drawings, and the advocacy efforts in various states to achieve recognition.
- Her extensive volunteerism with professional associations like IIDA and ASID. She reflects on the benefits of her involvement which extends far beyond the workplace.
- We finish with Julianne’s founder story! We talk about the idea for Design Success Network and how the platform works to ease the burden of the NCIDQ exams with study resources and tutoring to support designers preparing for exams or seeking professional development.
