Steering Committee Nominee - Dede Tave

My name is Eunide “Dede” Tave. I am a Graduate student at the Academy of Art University studying Interior Architecture and Design. For the past five years I have been working in the non-profit field, organizing meetings and conferences from a small scale to very large sized events. I continue to have a great interest in coordinating events. When I am not in class, I volunteer for different organizations such as Architecture for Humanity. Also, one day a week I intern at Sloan Miyasato Showroom at the San Francisco Design Center. My efforts are focused on staying current with the changes in the architectural and design industry.

With my passion for design, I believe I can offer fresh and innovative insight to the steering committee from a student’s perspective entering the field. My strengths in meeting organization can be useful to the OWA. I feel that the OWA provides a non judgmental platform where women can discuss new and current ideas, industry trends and standards.
