student feedback
"It was a pleasure studying at KDA, I learned a lot about the kitchen and bath design industry. The modules were fun, interesting, and challenging. I hold a degree in interior design; however, this course made me think more about the technical details and structure before I apply my design to the space. Overall feedback that this course is very beneficial for any interior designer out there, and I will definitely recommend it to my colleagues."
