Interior design is a technical profession that demands precision, ethics, and continuous learning. For 75 years, IDIBC has defined the benchmark for excellence by overseeing the Registered Interior Designer (RID) designation.
RID designation is not just a title; it is a professional commitment. All RIDs meet nationally recognized qualifications, including accredited education, supervised experience, and a rigorous professional examination. They also adhere to a strict code of ethics and engage in continuous professional development to stay current with evolving building codes, sustainability practices, and design technologies.
RIDs are essential members of interdisciplinary teams that include architects, engineers, contractors, and trades.
As building projects grow more complex, the need for specialized expertise across all phases of construction has never been greater. RIDs are essential members of interdisciplinary teams that include architects, engineers, contractors, and trades. Their work ensures that interior spaces are not only visually compelling but also compliant with safety codes, accessible, energy efficient, and tailored to the needs of the people who use them.
RIDs often lead early conversations with clients, helping define project goals and functional requirements. They translate those needs into detailed plans and specifications that guide construction teams through execution. Their involvement continues throughout the project, ensuring that design intent is maintained and that the final space performs as intended.
The RID designation is a commitment to quality, safety, and public trust, delivered by certified practitioners who play a critical role in every successful building project.
As the industry evolves, so must its standards. The RID standard is how we ensure every designer is prepared to meet the demands of a regulated future. Discover what sets RIDs apart and why their leadership matters now more than ever.
