Buffalo
At the heart of Buffalo's design community, we are dedicated to giving back through education, charity, and design. Our mission is to create an inclusive network that brings together industry representatives, designers, students, and educators to shape a brighter future for our community. Through professional development, impactful events, and meaningful outreach, we empower our members to advocate for the vital role of design in enhancing life safety, environmental sustainability, and cultural enrichment.
“IIDA is important because it brings designers and industry partners together to connect, exchange ideas, and inspire one another. It creates a strong sense of community within our industry and reminds us that, while we all bring different perspectives and expertise, we’re ultimately working toward the same goal of creating thoughtful spaces for people to experience and enjoy.”
— Chelsey Balistrieri, BCC Co-Director
“IIDA continues to remind us what makes Buffalo’s design community so special. It is a community built on collaboration, encouragement, and a genuine commitment to supporting one another. Together, we can continue building on that strong foundation, creating opportunities to share ideas, get involved, and make a positive impact within our profession and community.”
