President's Message
Well, here we are again with me as your chapter president and, as it turns out, your finance director as well. You are certainly putting a lot of trust in me! I start my year in awe of the work and dedication Chuen gave us this past year. From Reiko to Chuen to me, I am humbled to follow such great leaders in our chapter and in our profession.
I’m in the mood to shake things up a little around here. I was at the Leadership Experience with your president-elect, Tiare Pinto, and if you weren’t there, you really missed out. For those of you who have been on the board in the past, they have redefined the conference to include leadership seminars for anyone. Not just those of us who continually get recruited to be on the board. I want more of our members to experience the education, comradery and fun that board members experience.
My biggest take away this time was that although we have a financially healthy chapter, we are shy of participating members; the expectations by our chapter members is either high or nonexistent but not participatory. That’s a tall order. So, my first order of business is to meet with members face to face. Because anything I say here may be read by interested ears, but without interaction I cannot hope to understand what should come next.
One of the biggest changes in the past few years is the communication and collaboration between design organizations on Oahu. Last year we had our first joint holiday party and this year we expect it to be even better. Members from ASID, BIA, AIA, NKBA and possibly more, will be celebrating the joyous season to come and the productive year that is winding down, together at the Ko’olau Ballroom in Kaneohe on December 1st. BE THERE! It will be a blast.

There's a Window in My Shower — And Other Hotel Design Flaws
The Washington Post
When Marc Burdiss stepped into the shower at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, he was shocked by the clear view of the bedroom through a glass window. “Weird,” he thought to himself. Burdiss, an emergency-preparedness consultant based in Flagstaff, Ariz., then let out a sigh of relief. When he made the reservations, he had thought of bringing his teenage kids. Giving them privacy would have required a “MacGyver-like workaround,” using duct tape and towels, he says. Burdiss had also thought of sharing the room with another couple. That wouldn’t have worked, either — for obvious reasons.
Jason Wu Creates His Own Pantone Color and Uses it to Create a Monochromatic Fashion Playhouse
ELLEDecor
It all started with a grey t-shirt. Jason Wu's clothing designs fluctuate between feminine and futuristic, while remaining steadfast in their fabulousness, so it might be surprising to hear that GREY by Jason Wu was inspired by his favorite article of clothing: a plain, grey tee. Off-duty, warm, a piece of clothing that is evergreen in both design and necessity, Wu handed over his go-to t-shirt when developing his own personal color for Pantone. It embodied everything he wanted for his personalized shade.
