He is a Professor of Interior Design and has been a color consultant and professional interior designer for the past 25 years. He has also taught graphic design, environmental design, textiles, weaving, off-loom textiles and aesthetics. He was a former partner in Kenneth Scott Textile Designs.

In 1990, the Fehrmans founded PRISM (Photochromatic Research Institute for Science and Marketing) to disseminate accurate information about color/light. Soon after they began developing a series of outcome-based learning units for teaching color and light theory which formed the basis for Color - The Secret Influence.
