design is a form of communication that requires translation.

Decorette
An individual who believes they have a knack for putting things together but lacks formal training. They are usually supported by another steady income stream or a domestic partner.
Decoego
An individual primarily focused on creating their own brand and style, often at the expense of their clients. They may have enough training to be dangerous.
Throw Pillow
An individual with a very limited repertoire, using fluff to create a “wow” factor. They generally mimic current trends that are spoon-fed to them.
Professional Designer
An individual with formal training who adheres to established design aesthetics and principles based on education and experience.
