If you are contemplating taking training for the purpose of
career enhancement, starting a business, or simply for personal
fulfillment your initial training and monetary investment is an
important decision that needs careful consideration in order
to meet both your current needs and future plans. Nowadays
there are vast training resources available such as on-line books,
tel-classes, and correspondence courses of which are all excellent
for continued education. However, ”Nothing can compare to
hands-on training - the most rewarding and effective way to
learn how-to build a solid business foundation, trade-education,
exceptional hands-on experience, receive excellent resources, heighten confidence and begin decorating like a Professional".

Thank YOU Kimberly for such a great seminar. You gave me
the education and tools I needed to finally get my interior redesign
business off the ground. The program you put together in just 5 days
was very in depth, and all my questions were answered. It was so
great to be able to go to several customer’s homes and do the actual
redesign and staging with you. You are such a great teacher, not only
with the curriculum but hands on too. You have a natural gift for this
business and I am grateful that the path I choose to learn my craft
was at your academy. Going home with my own Training Manual,
was worth it's weight in "gold". Don't know what I would do without
it. I want to thank you so much for making me feel so comfortable,
right from the very start. You are such a beautiful person in so many
ways. Because of your warmth and friendly manner, you made the
course, fun and enjoyable and the week just flew by. Thank you
again Kimberly, You are 5 STARS!!
KDI Academy Alumni Testimonial

Poughkeepsie, New York
The design industry is buzzing with affordable services ...
The design concept of transforming spaces, “Using What
is Already Owned,” is based on all facets of the property
regardless of redesign, staging or decorating services, and
fits perfectly with Today’s Busy Lifestyles and Economy. It
is no wonder HGTV has dedicated so many programs to this
practicable form of interior decorating…wouldn't you agree?
