Launched in September 2011, IDEXPrep is the first and most comprehensive online study class developed for interior designers.
Deni Mosser, CID 0022/NCIDQ 5865 developed the concept, framework, lessons and the online delivery system for IDEXprep.
She was a “Subject Matter Expert” (SME) on the 2020-2021 IDEX Task Force for the new version of the IDEX exam that was first given in October, 2021.
In addition, she is the author of the IDEX Prep eGuide (2009) and founding member of 4CID.org which was an independent group of Certified Interior Designers formed to help protect and advance CID law.
Deni has over 30 years experience as an interior designer. She designed over 250 restaurants, worked on hotels and other commercial projects and developed her first web site in 1997. She designed over 65 Web sites, including interactive online databases and e-commerce sites. She was the webmaster (and occasional consultant) for the California Council for Interior Design Certification (CCIDC) for 19-1/2 years, from May 1998 to Sept. 2017.
A native Californian, Deni grew up in West Los Angeles, has lived in San Francisco and Marin County, and currently lives in the South Robertson area of WLA. Contact Deni by e-mail.
