Here's what Design Academy
graduates have to say:
I HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE, INCLUDING A DESIGNER, ASK ME WHO DID OUR INTERIOR DESIGN. THAT’S A TESTAMENT TO THE QUALITY OF KRICIA’S COURSE.
We purchased a fixer upper home just before the pandemic hit. We want to make this home our long term home where our kids will grow. I had no idea how to do it myself, although I had a strong sense of my personal style. I wanted the final product to be cohesive and well decorated, but I felt that with my particular style, it would be difficult to find someone or cost prohibitive. Since taking the course, I can look at a space and evaluate the design. I can also do it myself and feel confident I will get a consistent result.
- Rebecca L. Chain, MD
"TO ANYONE ON THE FENCE ABOUT TAKING THIS COURSE, DEFINITELY DO IT!! IT HAS BEEN SO VALUABLE. I DEFINITELY FEEL MORE CONFIDENT DESIGNING MY OWN HOME.
Before taking Design Academy, I was overwhelmed not knowing where to start. But this course gave me a step-by-step guide on how to design a space. I've been able to pick out things I see on Pinterest or Instagram that I wouldn't have noticed before, and I've been able to design a living room for my mother!"
- Krysta Johns-Keating, MD
“IT HAS DEFINITELY CHANGED AND IMPROVED THE WAY I CAN LOOK AT A ROOM AND THE OVERALL DESIGN AESTHETIC. “
“I loved Design Academy!!! What a fun and informative course providing the basic tools needed to better hone my previously “self-learned” design skills. This is a wonderful introduction to the elements of design! Thank you Kricia for creating this amazing course!”
- Mara Lagzdins, MD
THE HOW AND WHY OF DESIGN CHOICES WILL SUDDENLY MAKE SENSE.
“I would very definitely recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in interior decorating and wants to create a functional and beautiful home themselves. Shopping for the home will be more purposeful (rather than just picking up something because it looks pretty and is within one's price range). It takes so much of the frustration and guesswork away.”
- Lisa Goveas, MD
Design Academy teaches you to approach your home like a professional designer
This 12 week This video-based course walks you step by step through the exact process interior designers use to create a style that reflects you. Each week, you'll receive a new video-based module and assignment, making it perfectly paced so you can create your own style and home.

- The building blocks of interior design, like space, line, color, pattern, scale and form and how to use them. Learning this will help you know if something works or doesn't work and why.

How you can learn design in one course
Part 1: learn to see like a designer
learning design basics
Learning the elements and principles of design, you'll have the most important tools you need to train your design eye and look at things in an entirely different way.
These are the skills that separate a designer from a non-designer.
You'll get individualized feedback from me on your module assignments. As you progress through this part of the course you'll start to notice that you are looking at things differently. You'll start to know what works, what doesn't and why.
Part 2: LEARN TO THINK LIKE A DESIGNER
LEARNING THE DESIGN PROCESS
The Design Process will teach you the process that designers use for every project, and you'll learn how to apply it to your home.
You'll learn the important questions to consider before starting your project, how to find inspiration and organize your ideas so that you don't get overwhelmed. Using those ideas, you will learn about floor plans, how to arrange furniture, and how to solve common space problems.
Finally, create a focused design concept so that shopping becomes easy. During this section of the course, you will apply each of these steps to one room in your home, so you can design and see your success. And...you'll get individualized feedback from me throughout the process!
and for those with concierge access:
Part 3 : LEARN TO DESIGN LIKE A DESIGNER
PRACTICE & APPLICATION in design academy continuing ed
Just like we needed residency training to REALLY practice and apply what we learned in medical school, you'll need to practice applying your design skills to really grow. Design Academy "Continuing Ed" is a 6 month program that gives you a fun, safe space to work on your design skills in a group setting.
At the conclusion of the Design Academy course, we'll meet once a month via Zoom. You'll be able to submit projects you're working on in your own home and we'll tackle your project as a group... reinforcing everything you learned in Design Academy. We'll have guest interior design speakers and will also go through specific exercises that will help refine your skills even more.
Design on Demand
You'll get lifetime access to Design on Demand, an easily searchable digital database of design tips, tutorials and inspiration! It's your "pocket guide" throughout your design journey.
