Interior designers McKenna Shallberg (left) and Emma Velde have each earned certification from the National Council for Interior Design Qualifications (NCIDQ).
Certification is the industry’s recognized indicator of proficiency in interior design principles and commitment to the profession. Those who have earned this credential have demonstrated their expertise in understanding and applying current codes to protect public health, safety, and welfare.
To become certified, qualified interior designers must apply to take the NCIDQ exam, which is administered by the Council for Interior Design Qualification (CIDQ). After CIDQ approves their eligibility, candidates schedule each of the three sections of the exam and must pass each section within a specific time frame.
“I’m incredibly proud of McKenna and Emma for achieving this significant career milestone,” said TSP Chief Executive Officer Jared Nesje. “This accomplishment reflects their individual dedication while also strengthening our team, and we look forward to their ongoing contributions to our success.”
Shallberg, who joined TSP in 2023, holds a bachelor’s degree in interior design from South Dakota State University.
Velde joined TSP in 2021, and she earned a bachelor’s degree in interior design from North Dakota State University.
