The IDSA Columbus (COL) Chapter serves the networking and professional development needs of industrial designers in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. Some of the activities and events that the Columbus Chapter has produced include lectures, studio tours, and collaborations with other professional design organizations. In 2022, Columbus was the location of the IDSA Women in Design Deep Dive event.
IDSA Columbus also supports design students in the area, including the Cleveland Institute of Art, Columbus College of Art & Design, the International Center for Creativity (Cedarville University), The Ohio State University, and University of Cincinnati. We encourage a strong partnership between the student chapters and the professional chapter that includes portfolio reviews, career development, and social events.
The chapter officers below were elected to position by members of the Columbus Chapter and hold a two-year term.
