The NCIDQ certification is a nationally recognized credential that demonstrates proficiency in interior design principles, building codes, accessibility, and the health, safety, and welfare of building occupants.
“The interiors team is so proud of Kelly for this tremendous accomplishment! Kelly has approached all of her projects with a great deal of care as well as an enthusiastic and curious approach to problem solving. She’s a strong representative of LaBella’s core values—immersing herself in company culture through the Sunshine Committee while advocating for the profession through her work as Co-Director of the IIDA Rochester City Center. Her dedication to the communities she serves and her drive for continual learning no doubt have led to her success in earning her NCIDQ certification. With this milestone behind her strong work ethic and magnetic personality, I am confident she’ll continue to represent LaBella and the interior design profession well.
