CHANGE BY DESIGN

The version of the future in your heart
and in your head is also in your hands

Design Arts Seminars are the best of the best for CEU's. There is such a wide variety of subjects, and the information gained is current, relevant, and presented in compelling ways. I always come away from a course with new appreciation for how much design can impact our world and our clients' well-being.

Cynthia

I have been continuing my design education thru Design Arts for several years. I have always been appreciative of the range of courses offered and am particularly pleased with this year's series on sustainability.

Melissa

Great information and lively presentation. Always great to look at things from all the perspectives, Interior Design and LIFE!

Kimberly

Design Arts Seminars, Inc. consistently provides excellent webinars for continuing education which exceed expectation. Today’s webinar was no exception; it was excellent. Thank you, DAS, Inc. for providing such excellent resources!

Phyllis

Great information and lively presentation. Always great to look at things from all the perspectives, Interior Design and LIFE!

Kimberly

I thoroughly enjoyed the presentation. It presented topics we do not often address about our industry and our true value as professionals.

Linda

Thought provoking, especially for me since I have been practicing design for 44 years. I am from Mexico & have been fully aware of cultural & class differences. It has helped me see design in circles & vivid colors. I like the story telling dimension of this seminar.
