Kelsey Omeis, NCIDQ

Meet your guide:

I took the NCIDQ exam back in 2020, while working as a junior designer for one of New York City’s largest architectural firms. Like so many others, I found myself frustrated with the process; struggling to sit for hours at a time reading a dense, 800+ page textbook, being confused by what I should and shouldn’t study, and barely understanding the information.

So I scoured the internet for study resources that were better suited for a visual learner, like me, and put things into simple terms. To my surprise, there was nothing like this anywhere.

So I decided to create those resources myself.

I know what it feels like to not know where to start, to feel confused and overwhelmed, and to not be able to afford to spend thousands of dollars on study materials. Now, I’ve made it my mission to create both free and affordable content for all designers.
