Celebrating Excellence: Dr Natalie Wright Awarded IDEA 2024 Gold Medal

December 3, 2024

At the 2024 IDEA Awards, hosted by Australian Design Review, we were proud to sponsor the prestigious Gold Medal Award for the 7th time, 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, as recognised by their peers. Dr Wright’s name emerged repeatedly, a testament to her dedication, vision, and the transformative influence she has had on students, professionals, and the broader community.  

In her acceptance speech, Dr Wright 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 professionals, educators, and designers to elevate the profession and prepare it for the future.  

Her passionate advocacy and visionary approach serve as a beacon of inspiration, shaping the interior design landscape in Australia. Dr Wright’s work reminds us all of the enduring power of education and the collective efforts that propel our industry forward.  

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr Natalie Wright and thank her for her extraordinary contributions to the Australian design community. It is an honour to support initiatives that celebrate and amplify the remarkable talent shaping the future of design.
