Design U is the pre-eminent institution of higher learning for the design-challenged. Through training and education, Design U attempts to bring out the inner designer hidden deep inside those that show no signs of design life. Design U takes a homeowner and puts them through a one-day crash course in interior design, taught by the best designers in the business. Then the real test begins as they put their newly-acquired design savvy to use in redesigning a space in their home. Along with our host, Maureen Neilson, lead carpenter, Tyler Hamilton, and assistants Will Mood and Christina Maureen Rice, our students are given two days and $3,000 to complete the project. At the end of 48 hours, our Interior Design Instructor hands out the final grade. Will our student pass or fail?—Anonymous
