E-Newsletter: September/October 2019

Parting is such sweet sorrow. I can hardly believe a year has gone by. I would like to thank everyone who has participated and helped to make this year a success.

We will be having our old board/new board meeting on September 29 at my home, 45-201 Nohonani Place, from noon to 2:00pm. If anyone is interested in attending please let me know. We will be reviewing and voting on the FY20 budget and strategic plan. ALL are welcome.

We just had our second annual fundraiser: Design Impacts Lives. It was a great success. We had a sample sale to benefit Habitat for Humanity, a panel discussion on why you should hire an interior designer, and speed date a designer $20 for a 20-minute consultation; this was a great way to educate the public on the value of hiring a professional designer. Our trade show was well attended, and the feedback from all our sponsors was very positive. We will be holding this event every other year alternating with our Design Excellence Awards. Mahalo to our hard-working board members and all of the sponsors, speakers and volunteers who made this event a success.

We are putting together the committee for our 2020 Design Excellence Awards. If you’d like to help create the new design awards format, please volunteer to be on the committee. We have lots of unique ideas and we welcome everyone’s input. The design awards will be celebrated in September or October 2020 so we have ample time to put together an amazing event.

I will still play an active role as past president and will be putting together the new slate of officers for FY21 board elections. If you are moved to serve, please reach out to me...or I’ll be calling you.

It has been my pleasure to serve as the ASID Hawaii chapter president. I look forward to having our new president, Deedee Ackerman, take the helm on October 1. I am sure she will bring a new inspired vision for the year ahead.

One Voice

Each day interior designers use their voices and visions to reshape spaces--and therefore the lives of those occupying them--for the better. With those same voices working in unison, they have the power to design a better future for themselves and the entire profession. That is why ASID began One Voice; to empower interior designers to get involved and advocate for or against the public policy that will ultimately influence their careers and lives.

Trends tend to come and go with the years, and experts are already looking ahead to the design trends they expect to see in 2020. With the construction market hot, the Baltimore Post-Examiner took a look at some of bathroom trends expected to gain popularity in 2020.

We live in a culture that is always chasing after the next new thing — a mentality that favors the young. Nonetheless, when it comes to executing ideas and problem-solving, there’s a lot to be said for knowledge, proven skill and experience, which older designers have in spades.
