Honoring Freedom, Identity, and Design
This Juneteenth, we celebrate more than history—we honor the present and future voices shaping our industry. At IIDA Southwest, equity, diversity, and inclusion are at the heart of how we design and build community. Meet Tamia Hanninen, a rising interior designer whose perspective and quiet strength remind us that inclusive design is about more than representation—it’s about care, culture, and creating space for others. Scroll through to read about Tamia, and connect with us if you’re interested in meaningful, deeper conversations about equity and inclusion. We’re here and listening.
