"I ran across a advertisement for "Staging Training by Design" and immediately thought, this is exactly what I want to do! Allegra was so inviting into her world of design, function, dynamics of color and we explored how much fun it could be. I was impressed with her wide knowledge base and I learned so much from her philosophy of how to approach each new project.

"When I started working with Allegra, I had just graduated from college. I was young and "green" and faced with the daunting task of proving myself in one of DC's largest design firms. Allegra was able to help me master tasks as simple as paint selection and as complex as dealing with difficult clients, while helping me build the confidence necessary to succeed as a designer. It was a privilege to have had to opportunity to work with her. "

"Allegra, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed your Staging course.  It was informative and very enjoyable.  You effectively covered not only the design aspects with great pictures and a variety of real life examples of staging projects; but you also tackled the business aspects that are imperative for a successful staging business.
 Anyone seriously considering embarking in a staging career would greatly benefit from your course.   With my new increased confidence I have now begun my career in staging with my new company Staging by SPC.  Thank you Allegra.

Sincerely,

“I am so happy that I chose Staging Training By Design taught by Allegra for my staging classes.  Not only does Allegra thoroughly train you to stage homes, her lessons regarding starting a business are tremendous.  Her "personal style" is more like being in the company of a friend rather than an instructor.  The most pleasant and thorough course I've ever taken!
