Want to go to design school?

I didn't set out to be a professional organizer- in college I majored in social work and then psychology. I worked in human services for almost ten years, mainly with the elderly population. And then my entrepreneurial spirit kicked in full gear and I decided to put my Type A personality to good use and help people become more organized. That was back in January of 2007 and I haven't looked back since. I really enjoy helping people create order from chaos.

One of my favorite parts of the organizing process is interior decorating. I enjoy helping people make a space attractive and comfortable to them. The more inviting a space, the more likely a person is to keep it organized and uncluttered.

I have found a great site for interior design training. Through comprehensive correspondence courses, you can obtain training and certification in interior design and feng shui. I have sent off for more information about the courses that Sheffield offers. I am a firm believer in continuing education and online/correspondence courses are the only type I have time for with all the things I juggle.

Here are some details about the program(s) at Sheffield:

Sheffield began as an interior design school in 1985, and then expanded its course offerings to train people in other design-related fields, including Feng Shui and Wedding and Event Planning. With thousands of active students and more than 50,000 graduates, they have trained more design professionals than any school in the world.

Sheffield's offices are located in the heart of Manhattan, between Grand Central Station and the United Nations. This location, in the design capital of the world, allows them to hire faculty members who are among the top professionals in their field.

So, if you are looking to break into this fulfilling career path, be sure to check out all your educational options, including Sheffield.

Happy Learning!
