President’s Message
Aloha,
Hello summer! Although it’s felt like summer for quite some time with the unusual heat wave we’ve had, summer is officially here. With summer comes the BIA Big Summer Home Building & Remodeling Show, July 9-11. BIA has generously given ASID and NKBA a complimentary booth space to share. This is a great opportunity to get in front of people who are planning to do projects in the coming year. We are looking for members to volunteer for 4-hour shifts during the show. Remember the new qualification to enter the 2020 Design Excellence Awards is that you need to participate/volunteer in an ASID event. Here’s your opportunity to qualify and promote ASID as well as your own business. Designers and industry partners are welcome to volunteer. Please reach out to me at tiare@archipelagohawaii.com and let me know your availability.
We had a wonderful general membership meeting at my home, it was great to see old friends and strategize on how we can make ASID stronger. We seem to have a gap between seasoned members with 30+ years-- who have been dedicated and very involved with ASID over the years-- who are now wanting to slow down, and brand new student members just entering the work force. We need to bring the students into the association and pass the baton so to speak. Things are rapidly changing and the students are on the forefront of these changes. I urge student members to get involved: volunteer, meet industry partners and seasoned designers. You are our future and you can gain wisdom from our past.
We are gearing up for our second annual Design Impacts Lives Event, September 7, at Na Lama Kukui. We need volunteers to pull this off. You can volunteer to participate in Ask a Designer, in which the general public will pay $20 for a 20 minute consult with a designer. This is a great way to get in front of people wanting to hire an interior designer. We are also doing a panel discussion on design trends. The sample sale will need help along with manning the ASID booth. All volunteers can submit their photos to be included in the ASID loop at the event. We will also be offering workshops which will appeal to members as well as the general public. Please consider volunteering.
ASID is a volunteer organization and is only as strong as its members make it. I urge you to do more than pay your dues; get involved, meet your peers, mentor students, give back to your profession. Please feel free to reach out to me anytime to talk about how you can help make ASID stronger.
Have a wonderful summer!
With gratitude & aloha,
Tiare Noelani Pinto, Allied ASID, CKD

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. For more info:

These Eight Frank Lloyd Wright Structures Have Just Been Designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites

As one of the most prolific American architects, Frank Lloyd Wright fundamentally changed the way we live, and how we think about building. Known for seamlessly integrating his creations with nature, his innovative approach to urban planning, and the furniture and stained glass that often accompanied his buildings, Wright was a visionary with quite the work ethic—over his lifetime he designed more than 1,000 buildings; 532 of which were constructed.
