NKBA honors those who have invested in the advancement of their careers through certification. 

By Seth Ellison

Benjamin Franklin once said, “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.” Certainly, this is true when one chooses to become an NKBA-certified professional. It is not always an easy road, but it is rewarding both professionally and personally. NKBA’s certification programs give designers and badge earners a competitive edge, expert knowledge and experience in kitchen and bath design, guidelines and standards — all assets they can use to differentiate themselves and their expertise to prospective clients and employers. Here, we celebrate those who took the leap, and who will soon reap the rewards.
