What is a Certified Interior Designer (CID)? 

First off, Commercial Interior Designers are NOT ‘Decorators!’
 
Most people think all interior designers are created equal. In California, anyone can use the title “interior designer." “Certified Interior Designer” is the only legally recognized and protected title for interior designers in the State of California. A Certified Interior Designer (CID) is a competent design professional who may prepare and submit non-structural, non-seismic construction documents and specifications to local building departments for the purposes of plan review & permitting.
 
Certified Interior Designers have demonstrated through education, experience and examination their knowledge of California Building Code as it relates to space planning, life safety, flammability and disabled access code issues, under the provisions of Chapter 3.9 of the Business & Professions Code, Section 5800 – 5812. 
 
Julissa Garcia, Principal/Owner of j.design.studio, is a CID certified by CCIDC (California Council for Interior Design Certification), the organization responsible for administrating the requirements of the Certified Interior Designers Title Act.
