Kalamazoo

The IDSA Kalamazoo (KZO) Chapter serves the networking and professional development needs of industrial designers in Southwest Michigan including Kalamazoo, Grand Rapids, the Lake Michigan Shoreline and surrounding areas.

The chapter was recently chartered in May of 2023 to support the base of designers and product developers in the region. The goal is to celebrate what we do, inform and inspire each other so we can better serve those around us. We plan to hold quarterly events that will be social in nature, but we will work to provide an opportunity to learn something new or participate in a provocative conversation.

IDSA Kalamazoo also supports design students in the area, including Western University and Kendall College of Art & Design at Ferris State University.

The chapter officers below hold two-year terms.
