Making Modern with Brooke and Brice

I do not believe that Brice has gone to a design school on the side- seems that he's winging it and letting Brooke guide him. At least Brooke is taking courses to become a builder. In the episode "Backyard Reno" Brice had to have Brooke tell him about indoor/outdoor fabric. This is the first time I have heard of a designer not knowing this! I thought most people knew this, not including designers. What kind of designer is he?
