The IDSA Raleigh-Durham (RDU) Chapter serves the networking and professional development needs of industrial designers in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina and surrounding areas. Some of the activities and events that Raleigh-Durham Chapter has produced include lectures, studio tours, and collaborations with other professional design organizations. Raleigh-Durham and the Research Triangle Park areas has become home to a fast-growing number of firms in technology, biotech, and medical industries sized ranging from large Fortune 500 high-tech companies to startups.

IDSA Raleigh-Durham also supports design students in the area, including Appalachian State University and North Carolina State University. We encourage a strong partnership between the student chapters and the professional chapter that includes portfolio reviews, career development, and social events.

The chapter officers below were elected to position by members of the Raleigh-Durham Chapter and hold a two-year term.
