• Encourages forward-thinking by featuring inspirational statements from mentors, peers, and industry leaders
• Urges interior designers to commit to designing safe, healthy environments that are integral to a professional code of ethics, which ensure the delivery of positive outcomes for the client and any building's future occupants
