Ryan Misner is an assistant professor in the Department of Architecture & Interior Design at Samford University. He joined Samford in 2018 to teach in the CIDA accredited Interior Design program and to guide development of the new Master of Architecture Program, seeking NAAB accreditation.  His primary teaching areas include design fundamentals, design communication and graphics, portfolio development, and design process.

Prior to joining the faculty at Samford, he worked as a project architect at award-winning firms in Washington, D.C. He has 20 years of experience in all phases of design and construction management, and has worked on a variety of project types, including: base buildings, commercial interiors, hotel/hospitality, urban planning, and branded environments.  Most recently, he served as the Assistant Director of Examination Development & Research at the National Council of Architectural Registration Boards (NCARB). While there he primarily oversaw the development of the test specification for the Architect Registration Examination® (ARE®), led the development of ARE 5.0, and other new research initiatives within the Council.

#6 Mary-Claire Brown | NCIDQ certification, studying, testing, why it’s important

This episode is a deep dive into NCIDQ certification. Mary-Claire completed her certification within the last couple of years, so she has a fresh perspective on the process.

She schooled me up on how to become certified, exam format, best practices for studying, and why it’s so important to consider NCIDQ as an interior designer.

If you’re considering NCIDQ certification or just need a resource to pass to others who are, you won’t want to miss this one.
