Education and Presentations

Doug is a seasoned professional who continues to evolve. He is nationally recognized as a leading expert in kitchen and bath design, and considered by many to be one of the  foremost authorities on residential lighting. Doug routinely teams up with the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA) as a Subject Matter Expert and forecaster of upcoming industry trends.

As a contributor to industry publications since 1983, Doug has shared his experience and tips generously with trade colleagues nationwide, and speaks frequently to regional and national conferences, such as AIA, IBS, KBIS, JLC Live, the National Green Building Show, and others. He teaches education webinars for free to college and junior college design students.

Henry Ford famously said “Anyone who keeps learning stays young:, and so at an age when most of his colleagues have retired, Doug continues to do original research, participate vigorously in professional committees for NKBA and IES, achieve new certifications, take dozens of webinars each year, and teach. Doug prides himself on maintaining fresh relevant content; and that is why his presentations are sought out locally and nationally. For a full look at recent and upcoming education, explore our talks page.
