Designing Connections in the Lehigh Valley: A Galentine’s Day Celebration of Community & Creativity

The Lehigh Valley commercial interior design community gathered for an inspiring Galentine’s Day mixer, an evening dedicated to creativity, collaboration, and strengthening the relationships that make our region such a dynamic place to design, work, and grow.

Hosted graciously by Jaindl Enterprises, the event kicked off with an exclusive tour led by Kirsten Corallo, offering attendees a behind‑the‑scenes look at their beautifully designed space. From thoughtful details to innovative workspace solutions, it set the perfect tone for the night.

Spotlight on Advocacy: IDLCPA

One of the evening’s most valuable moments came from learning about the impactful work being led by the Interior Design Legislative Coalition of Pennsylvania (IDLCPA). Thank you to Krista Best, NCIDQ, for sharing:

• The mission and ongoing advocacy efforts supporting interior designers statewide
• Current legislative updates shaping the future of the profession
• Opportunities for designers to get involved and elevate industry recognition
• Community resources for those pursuing the NCIDQ certification

Her insight reinforced just how essential advocacy is for the growth and protection of our profession in Pennsylvania.

A Community That Collaborates

The mixer brought together designers from more than 10 companies across the Lehigh Valley, creating a vibrant environment for conversation, relationship‑building, and shared inspiration. Events like this highlight not only the talent in our region but also the strength that comes from staying connected and supporting one another.

With Gratitude

A big shout-out to the incredible reps who helped make this event possible:
Rachel Cesario, Stephanie Maines, Bre Hill, and Vicky McConaghy.
Your support fuels events that bring our community together.
