This has opened the door to someone just like you, who wants to turn their love for decorating into a successful business.  Ensure your success by combining your talent  with practical education from The DSA to help you with everything from the perfect consultation, creating a design board and a beautiful room.  Your instructor, JoAnne Lenart-Weary, has over 35 years of industry experience to help you gain confidence and make money doing what you love.

Our training is updated to reflect those changes and ensure your success.
