✨ Former Board Spotlight ✨
A heartfelt thank you to Kate Dickson, former Vice Chair of the DDA Board of Directors, for her years of dedicated service.

While her term as Vice Chair has come to an end, we’re incredibly grateful for her continued involvement as Vice Chair of the Events Committee. As the Founder and Principal Designer of Dickson Design Group in Toronto, Kate brings passion, professionalism, and a collaborative spirit to everything she does.

When asked what being part of the DDA means to her, Kate shared:

“I love being a DDA member because it connects me with a community of like-minded professionals who are passionate about raising the standard of interior design in Canada. It’s a space where collaboration, mentorship, and advocacy thrive—and where I feel empowered to both contribute and grow.”

Thank you, Kate, for the lasting impact you’ve made during your board term and for your ongoing dedication to DDA and the interior design community.
