Founder, President, and renowned Interior Designer Ron Renner conceived the idea of certifying Interior Decorators for the first time in history. His purpose was to define the difference between Interior Designers and Interior Decorators and clarify the role of the professionally trained and tested Certified Interior Decorator.
The term “Certified Interior Decorator” and the appellation “C.I.D.” are registered trademarks filed in 1997 in the U.S. Patent and Trademark office in Washington, DC.
