Dear Design Family,

Design is always evolving — and so are we! At the Florida Central Chapter, we’re all about shaping the future of design at that sweet spot where creativity meets technology. Out Mission? To lift up our members, celebrate their contributions, and keep the Orlando and Tampa City Centers buzzing with fresh ideas and energy.

This past year, we celebrated our members at our IDEA GALA, inspired students at Seminole State College through tours, and expanded our Advocacy and Diversity, Equity and Inclusion efforts. 2025 is shaping up to be an exciting year filled with engaging programs, creative conversations, and plenty of opportunities to connect. With more than 250+ members — and counting! — Our community is on the rise and we would love for you to keep climbing with us.

Thanks to your support, we are able to serve Central Florida’s interior designers while also paving the way for the next generation. From workshops and events to resources and collaboration spaces, we’re here to help our design family experiment, grow and shine. With every new partnership, we find even more ways to create a meaningful impact.

We can’t wait to keep this momentum going — together. Here’s to another year of creativity, connection, and celebrating everything that makes our design family so special. Thank you again for your continuous support for the IIDA Florida Central Chapter.

We are Design. We are Family. We are the Future.
