Different from working in the commercial industry, residential designers and decorators are welcomed by individuals and families and invited to a glimpse of their daily lives so that the best design and décor decisions can be made for them. Often, DSA residential designers form lasting bonds with clients, taking a personal interest in creating a home that will reflect the best for everyone concerned. 

Families routinely communicate to their DSA trained and skilled designers the pride they feel in presenting their home to visitors, whether it’s the result of design for new construction, a minor facelift or a full-fledged renovation. Providing a quality design product customized to meet the needs of the client results in return business and word of mouth referrals for our professional, certified residential designers.

Being a DSA Certified Residential Designer offers a wide range of opportunity for showcasing your talents based on consultations with your client. Your DSA training gives clients the reassurance that they are dealing with a professional who will deliver nothing short of perfection once in tune with their needs and desires.

In addition to the training essential to obtaining Certification, the ongoing support and networking opportunities available through your association with DSA will serve you well into your career. We encourage our designers to call on us for resources and support conducive to early and continued success. Our website is full of information useful to both our members and potential clients in search of a certified designer.

Increased visibility through DSA training helps fast track careers in that the recognition and branding from our society lend themselves to trust among clients seeking a Certified Residential Designer. The qualifications earned through completion of training at DSA are valuable to designers throughout their career, always serving as a recognizable, reliable organization working to improve the training and opportunities for residential designers.
