IDG Certification Course for Studio ~ Travels North


The Central New Jersey Chapter of WCAA hosted the IDG Course for its members and guests on Friday, June 12. The information packed day-long session led by Merlyn Corcoran was held at The Center for Great Expectations.

Kelli Chitty, Membership Chair, describes The Center: "There are two residential treatment homes that welcome homeless, pregnant adolescents in one; and homeless, pregnant adult women who are in addiction recovery in the other. Following the birth, each mother can return to the Center with her baby and other children, up to the age of 5, to continue in the programs and services that will help them break the cycle of bad decision making." She and 38 other members of this very active, socially responsible Chapter donated their time and materials to transform this building into a warm and welcoming home with lovely window treatments.

In their lower level conference room attendees opened their laptops and spent the day learning Studio 3.0, from elevation rendering to designing on a photo and creating floor plans. Many had never worked in a graphic software program before and mastered skills they can use to set their businesses apart from other designers and workrooms.
