About the Instructor
Vasthi Cheddar holds a Bachelor of Science Degree in Interior Design from Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston, Massachusetts. Her career has spanned from Massachusetts to Florida, working for Interior Design and Architectural firms in the Residential, Commercial, Institutional, and Educational market segments. After 15 years as Owner and Designer of her own design firm in the Boston area, she relocated to Florida with her family and has re-established her practice.
She is NCIDQ certified and passed all three exams the first time in the span of 5 weeks. Vasthi has a passion for helping other designers achieve their goal to become NCIDQ certified.
Her experience includes all aspects of the design process including code review, custom millwork design, cabinetry, FF&E selections and Contract Administration. She excels at understanding and interpreting construction details, and the ease at which she communicates with contractors and allied trades has made it easy for her to help others understand the process even when this hasn't been part of their experience.
What our former students are saying
I'm very grateful!
I came to Vasthi's class struggling and couldn’t find a way to pass. I studied very hard but I wouldn't know how to apply this knowledge to test questions and get the correct answers. I joined her classes and day by day she slowly helped me understand the challenges. She helped me to stop overthinking. She built my confidence. She CARES!!!! She is as passionate about what she is doing while remaining patient when I was struggling. Her materials were very simple and hit the target, making the studying itself approachable. I am not only highly recommending her, but can testify that I also couldn't pass my exam without her.
I am very grateful!

Definitely recommend her classes to everyone!
Vasthi’s classes were extremely helpful. After failing the Prac twice I didn’t know where to turn but then found IDQSimplified. This class helped me pass Prac! I would definitely recommend her classes to everyone! Thanks Vasthi!
