Details

At the 2024 IDEA Awards, hosted by Australian Design Review, we were proud to sponsor the prestigious Gold Medal Award. This was our 7th time sponsoring, celebrating an individual whose contribution to the design community has left a lasting mark. This year, the honour went to Dr Natalie Wright, whose commitment to design education and advocacy has inspired generations of future talent. The IDEA Gold Medal is awarded to a person whose impact resonates profoundly within the design community.

Dr Wright's name emerged repeatedly, a testament to her dedication, vision, and transformative influence on students and professionals. In her acceptance speech, she reflected on the power of collective collaboration, stating, ‚"To now be honoured by my peers is something I never expected, nor sought, but I am truly grateful.‚" She also highlighted the critical importance of continued partnerships between industry, educators, and designers.
