The Buzz on Deb

First, it was such a pleasure meeting you at the IDS National Conference!  Also, thank you so much for taking the time to brainstorm ideas with me; I am sure you were busy so that meant A LOT!  The takeaways I got from that conversation along was worth the cost of the conference.  Bryan Short

Wow, amazing content/info, head is spinning with all the possibilities, soooo well done, thank you! Mary Maloney

Thank you so much for traveling to Tucson and speaking at ASID AZ South Day of Design. Guest described your “Cool Tools” presentation as mind blowing!. I think it is safe to say they learned a lot that they can apply to their design businesses. Michelle Wood, Professional Development Director  ASID AZ South

Thank you so much; based on my personal opinion and the reports from our members you were a hit! Karen Fallon ASID OH KY

I just signed up for the complete crash course on fabric.   That lead me to look through your website:  Deb Barrett.   Wow!  You are a master at all this.    I enjoyed going through all of which you offer and continue to be amazed at your diversity, passion and energy. Kathleen Bivona, IDS

…this is the best “tuition” I’ve ever paid.  I cannot believe how rich the content is and I also can’t believe how you know all this stuff!  Absolutely incredible.  Thank you! Lori Steinman, Allied ASID, IFDA

What a wonderful addition you were to the Deco Zone. The feedback was glowing!   — Sandra Racz, The Decorating and Staging Academy

What a great workshop! (iPad for Design Pros CEU Class). Was already using some of the apps discussed, but hadn’t yet figured out how to really make them work for my business. Spent the weekend reorganizing myself based on everything you presented and am excited to start the new work week better organized, with information more immediately available to myself and my clients — and one step closer to being paperless! Always looking for ways to work smarter not harder, and your content certainly did not disappoint. Thanks again! — Tamara Smith

Thank you Deb! This was great. I purchased my iPad 2 last year and I am loving it but so many of these apps and sites I was unaware of, what a help. You are the best!!        Designing Spaces Mb., Wanda Vuignier, Member of CDECA Director of Continuing Education

Dear Deb,  Naturally, I’ve heard of you before – who hasn’t – you are a legend in our industry.  But only recently did I have the pleasure of hearing you speak live at one of your workshops.  I must say that I’m spell-bound by your ease of delivery, unassuming personality, and deep, deep (real deep) knowledge of everything design – from textiles to best business practices.  You had us all laughing, learning, and loving everything you had to say.  I am really thankful and privileged to have heard you speak.  Looking forward to many more presentations. With Gratitude, Vita Vygovska, Vitalia, Inc.

  “An incredible amount of information was shared in such a warm and inclusive way! I felt more like a part of a large family gathering.  Keeping it personal, yet professional and on track is a wonderful quality.”
