Creating public spaces that are accessible to everyone is central to the principles of universal design, yet achieving this goal remains a significant challenge. To truly prioritize accessibility in public spaces, designers need to view universal design as essential rather than optional, fostering an inclusive environment where everyone can navigate, enjoy, and interact equally.

We would like to give a enthusiastic shoutout to Amanda Vigneau, VP of Advocacy for absolutely crushing it as IIDA NE's representative on today's panel on interior design licensure with the AIA Massachusetts Government Affairs Committee. She showed up with the grace, knowledge, and calm that we’ve come to expect from her. Her lived experiences and “day in the life” approach made her points not only effective but deeply personal and relatable. Amanda balanced professionalism with her signature humor (which never fails to win us over) and did an incredible job advocating for our interior design profession. Thank you, Amanda, for being such a strong voice for our industry. We’re lucky to have you representing us—and we’re beyond grateful for all you do! #IIDA #IIDANE #InteriorDesignAdvocacy #AIA #DesignMatters

Today we say a hello to Katy Bolan for the Student Member Spotlight! Katy holds sustainability certificates from Pratt, MIT, and Harvard and is currently pursuing an MFA in Interior Architecture & Design with a Sustainability focus. As a current Sustainability Executive at Google, Katy is passionate about the environment and translates that focus to her interior design business. Her most recent project is a renovation for a Westport colonial. To work with the existing structure, Katy focused on making the space feel as tall as possible while incorporating key sustainability solutions. Q: Why did you choose to pursue interior design in college? A: I didn't have the support or confidence to pursue interior design when I first went to college. But in this stage of my life, I finally have everything I need to get it done, and I am savoring every minute of it. Thank you, Katy, for being a great IIDA NE Student Member! We look forward to all the work you do! @katybolan #iidane #iidanestudents #iidanestudentengagement #iidanestudentmemberspotlight #getengaged
