Training
The Rug Designer’s Studio, offers training, lectures and seminars to the interior design community, private showrooms and select clients. The RDS assists designers in all aspects of rug and carpet design, collection development and color direction. Director of Design, Deborah Hernandez, offers experience and skill ensuring creative solutions, which she offers generously to designers who need assistance with their carpet and rug projects – no matter how unique.
The experience of designing on the computer changed her life, but Hernandez still teaches her rug design class, at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology, in the organic sense. Her students are trained to draft in pencil, mix color to match yarns and hand paint in scale. Hernandez believes foundation is evident, and everything, in design.
As Owner and Director of Design of The RDS, Hernandez will continue to write courses for future designers and industry education. Plus, in the near future, the RDS will be providing student internships for aspiring rug designers.
