Name: Liz Taylor
Company/Position/Years: Pental Tile Rep / 3 years
IIDA member since: 2019

Why are you a member of IIDA?
Because it gives me great insights into this amazing design community. I became the Pental A&D Account Rep at the end of 2019 and just really started getting out and active in the community right before the pandemic hit. IIDA is a great way for reps to connect with designers. 

Favorite IIDA event:
An event that really stands out in my head was the 2020 NEXT breakfast keynote, The Myth of Empathy, which was very thought provoking. And of course I had the best time participating in one of the Happy Hours last year. I look forward to doing that again!! 

What are you currently working on?
I just moved into a 1930’s farm house so I imagine I will be working on it for the rest of my life. Challenge accepted…gulp.

Favorite design magazine/blog:
It’s not really a design blog, but every chance I get I look at @yasminemei on Instagram for inspiring colors and textures. This floral designer has the most delightful floral arrangement posts. I recommend following her!!
