Aloha, ASID Hawaii Chapter Members:
Happy Spring! This past weekend we had our first Ask A Designer event of the year. Thank you to those who participated and to SYSTEMCENTER for sponsoring the event.
We would also like to thank the following sponsors for their generous contributions to our reusable ASID swag bags filled with goodies:

We plan to host more Ask A Designer events in the future. This is a wonderful way to connect to homeowners and promote the ASID organization and its members.
The Spring semester is wrapping up soon for the Environmental + Interior Design students. We just finished our first ASID Student Speaker Series. We had guest speakers from the design profession talk to the students about working in the design profession, lighting design, and materiality in interior design (including metal, stone, paints, and plastics). If you’re interested in being a guest speaker for next semester, please reach out at president@hi.asid.org
We are gearing up for upcoming Design Forum with SYSTEMCENTER. On Friday, May 7, designers from SYSTEMCENTER will be presenting 5 hot topics from 10am to 12:30pm. Our Eventbrite link to RSVP for a session will be up soon, so please keep a look out for that.
Our Board of Directors are grateful for all the immense support we’ve been receiving in just these past couple of months and we are working diligently to provide opportunities and interactive activities for our members and supporters within the design community.

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.
