It takes years of education, experience and acquired knowledge to become a seasoned healthcare interior designer. But, to leave your mark on a potential client, you only have three seconds to tell your story. I simply say, “I am a CHID.”

As interior designers in this field, we often have to be able to defend what we do and our knowledge level. I believe CHID is a catalyst which offers clients and colleagues that level of understanding.
