Evidently there are some who think you would need a license to create a sculpture or a painting, too.

However, the ASID does have a point in that anyone who can afford a vendor's license without any professional work experience should not call themselves a "designer".<br />MarionMarionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541245285706534523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831942417628222217.post-52605504618317733732009-06-02T20:12:55.385-04:002009-06-02T20:12:55.385-04:00In my experience, a person's work usually sorts it...In my experience, a person's work usually sorts it all out, and I think that worries some people.Southern Chateauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04925693749711110873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831942417628222217.post-40103272207901578122009-06-02T19:52:38.766-04:002009-06-02T19:52:38.766-04:00until last month it was against the law for me to ...until last month it was against the law for me to call myself an interior designer. the law was just changed, but asid really needs to be stopped in every state, not just Texas.
