in Washington State to be certified as a Hunter Douglas Professional Dealer. As well, she was one of only
eleven designers from across the country who was chosen to design and display a Vignette at Vision'09, reflecting
the theme, "Navigating the New Consumer Landscape: How do you map your client's personality, needs and views onto a window
fashion?" In 2010 she was chosen as a citizen blogger at IWCE Vision'10 to report on the buzz at this
international window fashions show.
In 2007 Debby was certified as a WFCP
Specialist, one of only two in Whatcom and Skagit Counties. To reach this level, she had to complete an extensive
design project and design board as well as testing. Some of the comments made by the judge: "The presentation board is
awesome... You put a lot of thought into this project. Your expertise comes through....Overall, you did a fabulous
job." She is currently working towards the next level of certification, the WFCP Master.
As part of her commitment to the best customer service possible, Debby stays at the forefront
