Statement of Candidacy (2023-2024 term)
As a current member of the IDSA Women in Design Committee, I look forward to continuing my support of the existing West District chapters in Seattle and San Francisco.
In our inaugural years since 2021, we have developed five goals to better support IDSA, empower existing WID Chapters, and help establish new Chapters through our broader community.
Together with five other IDSA WID Committee members, I look forward to completing the above goals during our term and onboard new committee members as we all work together to enable women in the industrial design community to grow stronger, ultimately reaching parity for all gender identities within Industrial Design.
