Developed and produced by IIDA and supported in Chicago by the IIDA Illinois Chapter and Fresh Artists, Design Your World Chicago returns for a fourth year with a summer program introducing students to the fundamentals and practice of commercial interior design.

Students will develop a basic understanding of commercial interior design including the history and process of design, sustainability, ergonomics, materials and furnishings through practical learning sessions, hands-on projects, field trips, and industry engagement. DYW will also introduce the business practices of interior design, career specializations, and educational requirements—all supported by visits from designers, manufacturers, and design school representatives.

Please check back in early spring when we announce dates, education and instruction team, and program location.

For sponsorship opportunities or more information on how to be involved, please contact DYW Program Coordinator, Sheena Lewis, at slewis@IIDA.org.
