President’s Message
Aloha, ASID Hawaii Chapter Members:
We’ve had an eventful start to our board year as we announced the winners of the 2020 Design Excellence Awards. Although we weren’t able to host an awards gala this year, we are excited to be able to honor our local designers in a unique and impactful way. We are thrilled to celebrate our designers’ impressive achievements, and hope our members and friends were able to watch and enjoy the awards video together. If you haven’t already, please use the link to check out the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RjSWLwt9kDk&t=382s
Exclusively for ASID Hawaii's valued members and partners, Modern Luxury is offering special marketing opportunities to celebrate design in this upcoming edition alongside the chapter. To be featured, please reach out to Kirsten Inoshita at kinoshita@modernluxury.com by Friday, Nov 20 for more details.
Our board is currently working on our annual sponsorship package which will be out in a couple of weeks. As a sponsor, your company will get many opportunities to engage and network with our Chapter members. Through your support, we will be able to provide engaging events and activities to enhance the value of our membership. Please consider supporting the Chapter through sponsorships!
Our first event for this board year is set for December. We will be hosting a virtual Blockprinting workshop. Official announcement will be posted very soon!

ASID Releases COVID-19 Interior Designer Info Sheet
Interior designers are uniquely qualified and crucial in the fight against COVID-19. As we spend more time inside, interior design services in public and residential areas are essential to keeping your clients, colleagues, and families safe. It's important you use your role to support safe spaces and teach others about changes in design. Download the free ASID COVID-19 Info Sheet to understand and advocate for your unique ability to influence positive change in light of COVID-19.
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.
