Sherwin-Williams has created an Architect and Designer Support Center, a dedicated website to point professionals to educational tools and creative resources to help them navigate today’s challenging times. The online resource center provides access to Sherwin-Williams insights, continuing education and news.
“The architect and designer community continues to inspire us with its resiliency and creativity,” said Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at Sherwin-Williams. “We launched the support center to show our commitment and provide tools and resources to help professionals navigate these uncertain times.”
Key sections of the Architect and Designer Support Center include:
