THE NAWIC BRIGHT IDEAS GRANT
In August 2020, NAWIC announced an exciting program to encourage the establishment of a small business or startup in the construction industry. The Bright Ideas Grant provides $20,000 in seed funding for a female, group or partnership to help with the launch of a new business venture, programme, or idea related to the industry. The inaugural Bright Ideas Grant was awarded to Tonielle Dempers, Graduate Architect at Parry and Rosenthal Architects and Christine Savage, Architect at fjmt studio. Tonielle and Christine’s proposal centred on creating a tool to make users’ dream homes more tangible by providing collated interior design palettes that are local, easy to source and tailored to desired price points. One of the main aims of the tool is to make the interior design process more efficient and less daunting for builders, design professionals and home renovators who may be unsure how to bring their visions to life.
