Communitas Lecture Series: Kia Weatherspoon
Kia Weatherspoon is the founder of Determined by Design, the only interior design firm in the U.S. offering Design Equity services. A U.S. Air Force veteran who served in the Middle East following 9/11, she returned to earn two art degrees and establish a career in hospitality, multi-family, and high-end residential design. Driven by a desire for meaningful impact, she launched her firm to bring high-quality design to historically overlooked communities, proving that beauty and being seen are essential rather than extra. Weatherspoon now speaks across the country, empowering leaders and creatives to build with purpose and create equitable spaces without shrinking themselves.
