Kitchen Designer: Your Dream Job!

About the Book

I see this book addressing to anybody wanting to specialize or switch to kitchen design, to graduates of six-month certificate or one-year diploma in interior decoration, to anyone willing to pursue a kitchen design career path, and to cabinet makers wanting to change their everyday life and become something they always dreamed of: a designer!

I realised throughout my experience as a full-time kitchen designer how important the role of the designer is in kitchen industry business cycle. The designer is the interface between the company and the client and is the facilitator of the new business. With designer expertise and knowledge, he or she can retain more clients, sell kitchens at a better price, and thus generate more revenue for the company. This book can help kitchen-manufacturing managers to upskill their existing designers and train new ones in order to increase the company's profit...Being a kitchen designer is glamorous, is highly creative, is fun, and is, moreover, well paid!
