IIDA 2019 Educators Roundtable Focused on Empowering Design

International Interior Design Association (IIDA) held its 2019 Educators Roundtable—a gathering of leading interior design educators from across the country—earlier this spring. I was honored to moderate the two-day dialogue. The takeaway: To empower the design profession, educators and practitioners must embrace increasing diversity, expand established modes of thought, and champion education and research as invaluable, interlinked components. The full report on the event—a must-read for educators and practitioners alike—is available here: https://lnkd.in/dgApuv9 Attendees included Katherine Ankerson, Amy Campos, Pamela Evans, Amanda Gale, Jane Hughes, Jon Otis, Liset Robinson, Virginia San Fratello, Hepi Wachter, Ryan Ben, Allison Brown, Darris James, Ana Pinto-Alexander, A. Krista Sykes, and Felice Silverman, FIIDA. #iida #interiordesign #design #education
