PROTECTING DESIGN FREEDOM

Washington Professionals Protecting Design Freedom (WA-PPDF) is the only local, Washington-based grassroots effort dedicated to respecting and protecting the many paths to interior design professionalism. For the past seven years, we have rallied the interior design community in our State to successfully defeat interior design licensing legislation.

Going forward, WA-PPDF is continuing our conversations with key legislators and committee persons to monitor and influence their thinking on interior design licensing and regulation. We talk regularly with key industry professionals including AIA, MBA, NAHB, NKBA leaders.

We hold fast to our position—respecting and protecting the many paths to interior design professionalism. On this we have not and will not waver and we will not compromise with ASID or IDCW.

WA-PPDF is an all-volunteer organization, comprised of design professionals who share the vision of protecting all pathways to professionalism in the interior design industry. We do not profit from nor get paid to fight this battle. All of your donations to WA-PPDF are used for this purpose.
