Everyone needs design help and inspiration. Since we launched Design2Share in March 2007, we've been flooded with questions from our readers. This response got us thinking about how we could offer a more robust service to both homeowners and the professional design community. That's where our new D2S Help Center comes in, featuring our Ask Irwin service.

Irwin Weiner ASID, a leading New York City interior designer, has a company called IWI, and he can help you at 3 different levels of service. Here is a recent interview with Irwin and photos of his Manhattan apartment in New York Social Diary.
