We are back!! After a nice little break, we are finally back in action! UB's first Saturday Academic Meeting for spring 2022 is tomorrow (Jan. 8) at the new location (Sage Hall).
COVID testing will take place in the middle of the first floor. If you happen to test positive for COVID, you will have to call a parent or guardian to come to pick you back up. No one who tests positive will be allowed to participate in the Saturday meeting, this is a precaution to keep everyone safe and keep the program running in person. Breakfast will be held on the second floor on the elevator side of the building. Now, remember, you will need to be tested before you go to breakfast.
The most important thing though, we are so excited to see you all!!

It would take more than just one hand to count all the reasons why the number five is important - and we want to know what you think! What is it about the number five that's so significant to you?

Color Specialist/Consultant A color specialist provides consultations to clients for their interior design or home decor projects. Also known as a color consultant, your responsibilities in this job can range from recommending color palettes and design trends for specific rooms to overseeing the entire project as the lead designer. As a color specialist, you likely need some post-secondary education in interior design, as you will need to understand advanced concepts like color psychology to give your clients a home they will love for years to come.
|
|
|
How to Become One Becoming a color specialist does not require training or qualifications, though many specialists, designers, and color consultants are aided by formal education in design, fine art, or even psychology.
In all cases, you must have excellent interpersonal skills, a firm understanding of color theory, and a strong interest in current and emerging trends within design and art. | Duties As a color specialist, your duties are performed in the creation of interior spaces, home decor, and commercial or residential interior design, meaning that some manner of prior experience in the business of interior design is helpful in progressing into the further specialized work of a color specialist. You may perform your responsibilities for an interior design firm or contract on a freelance basis, providing clients with your expertise on color palettes, paint schemes and techniques, and recent trends
|
|
|
Wages Your pay will depend on experience, knowledge, skill level, location, and the type of sector you’re working in. Most color consultants are self-employed and work on a contract-to-contract basis. The median hourly wage is around $12-$15/hour when you’re starting out. If you’re working for a large interior design or decorating company for corporate clients, you may find yourself earning upwards of $150/hour!
