I chose to pursue the CHID credential as validation to myself that I, indeed, was a seasoned healthcare designer. I also wanted a way to show my commitment to the profession and support towards raising the bar for interior design.
The accolade CHID has, in one word, indicated to my peers, employers, clients, other design profession partners, and the industry, that I have earned the highest level of achievement for an interior designer practicing in the field of healthcare design. Through my volunteer role on the AAHID Board of Directors as Director-at-large, President-elect, and now, President, I have developed leadership skills that I use daily in my professional and personal life. I have grown in more ways than I ever could have imagined when I first made the decision to apply for the CHID exam.
Becoming a CHID is an investment in yourself and allows you to become part of an inclusive group dedicated to shaping the future of healthcare interior design. The credential also gives you the opportunity to volunteer with AAHID and join other interior designers who are as passionate and dedicated to our profession as you!

What I love about Interior Design is the capacity of the built environment to shape perception and behavior. That is the ability to positively influence the human condition.
What I love about my practice in Healthcare Interior Design is that through providing relief to the requirements of caregivers in their routines, in shaping perceptions to alleviate concerns of visitors as to the wellbeing of their loved ones and by addressing patient comfort, dignity and recovery, I provide services that enhance basic human needs for the greater good of mankind.
AAHID in its mission, positions CHID credentialed professionals to better serve society.
