About the Instructor

Cece Cowie

Hi designers! My name is Cece, and I am passionate about transforming spaces and guiding fellow designers on their journey to success. I hold a Bachelor's degree of Interior Design from Toronto Metropolitan University and a Certificate in Construction Project Management from Humber College. With over a decade of industry experience, I am a licensed NCIDQ interior designer, having collaborated with interior design and architectural firms in diverse settings, including residential, commercial, hospitality, and educational projects. My path to NCIDQ certification was not without its hurdles—I did not pass all three exams on my first attempt. My experience gave me a deep understanding of the challenges and costs associated with the NCIDQ exam process. Motivated by my own journey, I’ve created straightforward and affordable study courses to help other designers navigate the exam process and successfully pass the exams too! My hope with these courses is to alleviate some stress and pressure on your path to becoming a certified interior designer.
