Pinnacle Awards 2025

Honoring a Legacy of Excellence The Pisoni Award, named after the late Don Pisoni—a true pillar of our design community—recognizes an individual whose career reflects exceptional dedication, leadership, and lasting impact on the profession. This lifetime achievement award celebrates those who, like Don, have shaped the industry through vision, mentorship, and a passion for design.

Design that makes a difference. Nominate a designer who prioritizes wellness and sustainability in their work—someone creating spaces that support health, well-being, and environmental responsibility. This new category honors those designing with purpose, impact, and a vision for a better future.

Know a rising star in design? Nominate an Emerging Professional—a designer with less than 5 years of experience who’s already making an impact. This new category celebrates fresh talent, bold ideas, and the future of our industry. Let’s recognize those who are just getting started but already shining bright.
