Graduates of Designer Training Class

Willis and FLOFORM Countertops recently completed a round of designer training classes which was hosted at the FLOFORM showroom in Portland, Oregon. The course, which was conducted to host 52 future interior designers from Portland Community College, proved to be a success.


Topics that were outlined during the training included in-depth product information about granite, engineered stone and solid surface as well as current design trends in the surfaces industry. Participants also gained useful knowledge about identifying consumer needs in regards to "Premium Decorative Surface" countertop materials.

In addition to hosting the successful designer training classes, Willis also announced their intent to run a "NKBA Design Competition" that will be facilitated by Willis and FLOFORM this coming May. (More details will be posed online soon - stay tuned!)

We wish to congratulate all of the aspiring and talented interior design students that completed the designer training class. Job well done!
