WELCOME TO IIDA SOUTHWEST
The International Interior Design Association (IIDA) is the Commercial Interior Design Association with a global reach.
We support design professionals, industry affiliates, educators, students, firms, and their clients through our network of 15,000+ members across 58 countries.
We advocate for advancements in education, design excellence, legislation, leadership, accreditation, and community outreach to increase the value and understanding of Interior Design as a profession that enhances business value and positively impacts the health and well-being of people’s lives every day.
The IIDA Southwest Chapter of the International Interior Design Association consists of over 300 members in Arizona, New Mexico, and Las Vegas.
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.
