Design Connection
Designer Referral Program
The Design Connection program was established to match designers with consumers. The goal is to promote the use of interior designers, diminish the intimidation factor among consumers, and turn those potential clients back over to designers. The program is designed to service consumers who are not already working with a designer and whose business might otherwise be lost to retail because of our wholesale to the trade status in many of our showrooms.
Applications are accepted in October for the following year. The showrooms of those who meet the criteria are chosen. Designers are selected by the showrooms based on design skills, integrity, customer service, and ethics. The program consists of 25 core members and 5 alternates. The Design Connection term is one year and starts January 1.
If you would like to receive more information regarding this exciting program or an application, please contact the Design Connection coordinator, Marina Dagenais, at 303.282-3226 or marina@denverdesign.com
What designers are saying about Design Connection
“The Design Connection Program has been a wonderful experience for me. I have found many rewarding aspects of the program. It has brought together a very professional group of designers to promote the Denver Design District, support the showrooms and to make designers available to the public in a non-threatening way. I am amazed at the jobs I have secured as a result of the program.”
