Senior Designer Lauren Feurich Earns CKBD Certification

It’s been a big year for Senior Designer Lauren Feurich. Shortly after being recognized as part of the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s Thirty Under 30 class, Lauren has added another professional achievement to her resume: she has earned the Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer (CKBD) credential.

The CKBD designation is one of the most respected certifications in the kitchen and bath industry. Achieving it requires a combination of professional experience, advanced technical knowledge, and the successful completion of a rigorous examination process. Designers pursuing this credential must demonstrate proficiency in areas such as design planning, construction fundamentals, building codes, mechanical systems, and project coordination.

Lauren’s certification reflects the ongoing learning mindset that defines the Drury Design team. Every senior designer at the firm holds a recognized industry credential — most have earned the CKBD designation, while others hold advanced certifications such as UCDP or CMKBD. Our team also includes professional affiliations such as ASID.

This emphasis on certification matters for clients. Many design firms employ designers without formal industry credentials. Drury Design believes that certification helps ensure clients are working with professionals who have been tested on both the creative and technical aspects of kitchen and bath remodeling. These spaces involve complex systems and precise planning, and certified designers bring a deeper level of expertise to every project.

Lauren’s CKBD achievement adds another layer of knowledge to a team known for thoughtful design and careful execution. Drury Design congratulates Lauren on reaching this milestone and looks forward to seeing the continued impact of her work in homes throughout the Chicago area.
