Announcing the new 2022 Apprentices!

It wasn't that long ago that we were asked, Is DIA going to have a new cohort? And we posted an announcement on LinkedIn during the last week of 2021 that we were accepting applications. Next thing we knew, Boom! We received 40 appications and had to think about how we were going to make the hard decisions to choose the stories we wanted to learn more. It was only 5 weeks ago and now we're here.

Today, we're happy to share the 10 people who will be joining the Apprentice Program at DIA Design Guild. In alphabetical order,

• Amy Lau
• Ashlyn Riambon
• Bonita McBride
• Bridgett Gordon Billingsley
• Marie Danielle Egipto
• May Ng
• Nasimeh Taghavi
• Natasha Talukdar Elam
• Sophie Truong

It's a new year where we have new mentors joining the team, community projects where people can shadow, and new collaborations we're building. We're looking forward to what new projects and intiatives that this cohort brings and the passion that they all bring to the Program.

Remember: It was just one question that started all of this.
