Join us the evening of Wednesday, April 8, 2026, following the Celebrating Our Champions reception, to hear BAC Alumna Taniya Nayak featured as the 2026 Hive Week Keynote. Please stay after to celebrate this year's 2026 Alumni and Friends Award winners. 

Taniya will join President Mahesh Daas for a candid fireside chat reflecting on her professional journey as an entrepreneur, creative process, and perspective on the future of design. The conversation will open to audience questions, creating an opportunity for meaningful dialogue and connection.

As an internationally recognized interior designer and television personality, Taniya Nayak, MSIA'03, has built a remarkable career that has been shaped by the same creativity, determination, and hands-on learning that define the BAC experience.  Her television work has seen her featured on national shows including HGTV's Battle on the Beach, ABC's The Great Christmas Light Fight, and Food Network's Restaurant: Impossible. Next, Taniya can be seen on the upcoming newest season of HGTV's Rock The Block. From residential and hospitality design to her national television work, she continues to make her mark on the industry in inspiring ways.
