After years of experience working as a professional color consultant, decorator, home stager and redesigner and with well over 1,000 color consultations under her belt, Patsy is uniquely qualified to offer her very own training certification. If you have the desire to work as a professional or simply want to increase your knowledge for your own personal use, Patsy’s Certified Interior Color Specialist course is for you!
“After two days of intensive training, I want you to know your class on color exceeded my expectations! It was extremely informative to learn how the new Sherwin-Williams fan deck relates to the color wheel and how to use it when selecting colors. Not only did we do a deep dive into the Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore fan decks, but you offered on-site interior and exterior color consultations with two of your clients in order to gain a better understanding of the process – invaluable! Last, but not least, you generously shared your knowledge and experience in starting up a color consulting business as well as your personal files, forms and procedures – a true ‘nuts and bolts’ course!
I am so pleased with the training I received! It was a wonderful investment, and I am so grateful for the opportunity to have taken your class. Color me thrilled!” Alice Gucwa, Color Consultant & Home Stager
