SUMMER 2019

“If you’re going to do something do it all the way not half way or what’s the point!” I truly felt so aligned with this quote during my planning along with my Board, Chairpersons, committee members and sponsors and it’s been a great sense of accomplishment so far as I have observed added “joy” on the faces of many at our events! Sometimes we can plan for a great future but we can’t predict it so we have to be able to go with the flow! Although I was unable to attend our 30th Expo due to an unplanned emergency appendectomy, it was still a huge success having my desired Keynote Roger Thomas from Las Vegas Wynn Design & Development available for all to enjoy his dynamic presence there! Now as I continue to count my blessings of good health restored, I will look forward to meeting Roger somewhere in my future while enjoying our other events underway! Another desire was to end my term with some fun which led to our Atlantis themed Celebration Gala, Installation & Design Awards for all to enjoy in September at the Dana Point Yacht Club with plans to capture a wider array of winners with a new idea for our design award categories and a fun party atmosphere including “outgoing and incoming” signature cocktails, themed appetizers, choice of entrees for dinner, an array of desserts followed by dancing under the stars with a s’mores bonfire! I want to continue to make it a great term together so please join me by attending our remaining program of events of Mingles, Pop Ups, a Summer Semester of Evening CEU Marathon at SOCO, a Living History Tour and an Appreciation of Past Presidents in August and follow my lead and “do it all the way not halfway or what’s the point” and make the most of being a member of our organization! Let me know if you are interested in becoming a bigger part of our chapter by volunteering and/ or also being a sponsor! Being President has been very fulfilling because I got to be a bigger part of the fun! See you all at our next events! Truly,

Hello from the President Elect Hello everyone, and thanks for being members of ASID! We are just coming off our most successful expo ever, its our 30th. We have been privileged to have as our past guest speakers Martyn Lawrence Bullard and Melinda Ritz. This year we outdid ourselves with the incredible internationally famous Roger Thomas, whose interior designs for Bellagio, Wynn and Encore changed not only the face of Las Vegas but internationally, on how resorts/hotels/spas are built and furnished. Only ASID OC has been the host of these extremely talented designers and only at our Expo. We are excited to see what happens next year, as I will soon be President. I can tell you it will be very interesting, fun, and rewarding year. Currently, we are gearing up for our annual ASID Leadership Experience that is always held in July and overseen by National. This year in fabulous Atlanta, which should prove to be very energizing, educational, and exciting. Can’t wait to bring back all of that excitement and energy to Orange County. I am also working on what National calls “Strategic Planning.” All chapters are required to present to National our yearly chapter plan, our goals, budgets, and how we plan to accomplish them. Our chapter in Orange County is one of the busiest, if not THE busiest. I will be setting up my strategic planning committee and moving our chapter forward. Then in September we have our highly sought after, and prestigious ASID OC Celebration Gala where we will hand out our Deign Awards. This year being held at the beautiful and fun Dana Point Yacht Club. Are you going to enter? I hope so!! Not only for that but to see the new board being installed and me as President as well. Dancing and s’mores included! Hope you will be along for the exciting, educational, and rewarding adventure! See you there,

s I look back at our highly acclaimed Orange County, California chapter Expo this term I am filled with a sense of accomplishment since saying “Yes� to becoming our chapter leader, even though a last minute medical emergency stopped me from being present for this incredible day of Design! I have not only been blessed with an incredible Administrator, Executive Board of Directors and chairpersons working steadfastly on our planning but many industry partners to be thankful for sponsoring our greatest achievements. Our chapter has been greatly enriched by our Titanium Sponsor Pacific Sales this term so that we could expand to the largest Expo that we have ever planned with over 55 exhibit spaces of our highly acclaimed trade resources! Along with California Homes Magazine our media partner that has aligned exclusively to cover our event in their publication, we are more excited than ever before especially because we have the renowned Roger Thomas, Principal Interior Designer and Vice President of Wynn Design & Development in Las Vegas speaking to us about his incredible design industry’s achievements that have changed the interior design landscape forever. Our chapter expo legacy is completely changed with his presence here today as we remember where we have been and where we are going as a society. So in keeping with my presidential promise for more inclusive dynamic programming we are heading into our 4th quarter full of high impact events for all of our membership to enjoy together as we continue bringing our multi-design sectors together so we can merge towards a successful future! Truly yours,

hat a whirlwind the past few months have been for the board! As Director at Large, I have the privilege of working with some amazing and talented people. One of the big events of the past quarter was the Expo. Bill Elson and his Chairs pulled off another great Expo. The largest turnout in our history, over 55 vendors and hundreds of designers made this an unforgettable event. As the loading dock “offload manager,” my responsibilities
included organizing the unloading of the displays, booths and materials the vendors need for their displays. It was no small feat! Special thanks to Carolyn Scroggs who played “good cop” to my “bad cop” which helped move the process along. Next up has been the planning of the Dining by Design event headed by Sandra Maddox. We are fortunate to have this event at the Water Grill, across from South Coast Plaza. Sandra has done an excellent job of putting together a great night of food, drink and networking as well as a panel discussion with Todd Hatch of the Hatch Group. Todd and his company are responsible for the design and construction of this beautiful restaurant, it was truly a great night!

ur first chapter elevated Dining by Design experience was sponsored by JennAir in alignment with our Titanium Sponsor, Pacific Sales, held at the Water Grill in Costa Mesa. This beautiful restaurant was designed by well renowned hospitality design firm, Hatch Design Group, who we arranged to have as our featured panel of speakers for an evening of
enlightenment on restaurant design. Both designers and industry partners joined together for this amazing evening to enjoy the spectacular seafood wonderland on May 30th. The evening began with plenty of passed appetizers of grilled tiger prawn, blue lump crab cakes and buratta cheese plates during a hosted wine bar and beer on tap. The incredible event menu offered seasonal preparations with a choice of Chilean Sea Bass with gnocchi, King Salmon with grilled veggies or Filet Mignon with mashed potatoes paired with a choice of salad to encompass a 3 - course meal. Plenty of elbow rubbing and conversation ensued while we drank, ate and were enlightened by our panel of top-notch designers, Todd Hatch and Mark Tasse of Hatch Design Group. They spoke about the development of design with the oceanic theme for this venue, some early beginnings of their design firm’s portfolio with examples of hand-drafted space plans of Water Grill and up to the present with projects including their newest Water Grill currently being installed in Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace.

hat a fabulous way to kick-off the summer with a CEU Summer Semester marathon at SOCO in Costa Mesa! Designers came from all over Orange County to learn about water consumption, faucets, glass tile and the upcoming trends in color and paint! The evening was kicked off by Jessica Jones introducing her Co-Chair Pam Barthold and the ASIDOC President Michele Prata at Rejuvenation’s showroom who put on an amazing spread of cheeses, meats & fruit and a CEU by California Faucets’ very own Noel Lawlor. Noel spoke about water consumption. The show room manager Judy Dinh and trade specialist Paul Fernandez announced the winners of the amazing raffle prizes before the designers were off to showroom number two, Famosa tile. Once entering Famosa Tile, they were greeted with a lovely beer or wine selection and the most amazing Asian fusion dinner served in Chinese takeout boxes by the fabulous catering company California Fresh. Vanessa Becking and Josiah Lilly, the owners of Famosa, were introduced and thanked everyone for coming. They then kicked off the 2nd CEU by Vince Moiso from Oceanside Glass & Tile teaching us about the differences in glass tiles. Wow what beautiful glass tiles are coming to market! Before the designers were off to the next showroom Vanessa raffled off a beautiful tile tray. The 3rd and final lesson was held at Room and Board. We were greeted by the wonderful store manager Tracy Yoshihara who was serving a delicious spread of Susie Cakes cookies and sweets. The final CEU of the evening was presented by PPG’s Susan Giampietro and her colorist Michelle Hendrickson teaching about color trends and paints. The evening concluded by raffling off an amazing color identifier. A special thank you to Tim Manning our fabulous photographer for capturing the amazing evening in print. What a fun filled evening of learning and meeting new colleagues! Pamela Barthold, Associate ASID

he upcoming quarter for the students is one to be full of excitement as summer will be in full swing and classes will be coming to a close. Graduations will be applauding seniors as they move from students to professionals within the design community. Students (including those who will have just graduated), will be given the opportunity to participate in a variety of different activities to keep them active in the community and with our incredible ASID Orange County chapter. Despite the break in class schedules, we’re hoping that our events for student allow for them to dedicate time towards some of the incredible events we have planned. We have a few different tours planned with some of our industry partners to allow for students to see how they can partner in the community to help meet their own clientele needs. For our Student Design Challenge, we will be doing a “White Box Challenge” and partnering with the Laguna Design Center during the months of August and September. Students will be utilizing various showrooms at the Laguna Design Center to help design 3 walls, a floor, and a ceiling for this residential-focused challenge. We will have a panel of judges assigned from the community, the LDC, and the ASID board to view the digital submissions. The top 3 winners will then move forward to create the physical boxes, which will be displayed at the LDC for ballot judging for the winner. In addition, the students are all encouraged to participate in some of the chapter’s upcoming events. On the 28th of August, the sustainability CEU will be a great opportunity for students to see how to begin to implement the use of green products and design. In a conclusion to the term, there are design awards which will be showcasing 2 student categories, 1 for both the AA and BA degrees. The winner of each of these awards will be given a trophy plus allotted a ½ page publication in the California Homes Magazine to showcase their incredible work.

Dining By Design Continued:
On the first day of LCDQ, there was a Design Dash envisioned by Sotherby’s Home of enhancing the visiting as many showrooms and attaining stamp to affirm the visits and in turn, added to the possibilities of for levels of prizes. This year’s winner with most stamps went to Melissa Galt who is non other the great granddaughter of Frank Lloyd Wright.
Our Chairperson, Sandra Maddox, and President, Michele Prata, both joined them on a featured panel to ask pertinent questions to get the attendees excited about our organization’s membership of multi-design sectors including hospitality design. Both Todd and Mark walked us through the process behind some of the well-known projects they have developed and their processes through the years in business with some fun anecdotes on the Hatch family as well. They also shared tips on how they build their design team and the expansion of their office.
There was a reveal with design students projects from UCLA headed by none other than Rocky LaFleur.
Our evening was generously sponsored by JennAir’s Fernando Marfil in conjunction with Pacific Sales’ marketing point man, Shaun Ayala, who both sent representatives to share information on their brands. JennAir’s representatives McKenna Bachusz and Rachel Erdman both showed off a fabulous JennAir Range in the adjacent patio from their current quality designed product line.
Our very own ASID OC Titanium sponsor Pacific Sales and our ever-present , ever popular Shaun Ayala were the hosts of the Legendary Green Room which showcased Fisher Paykel appliances, recharge devices, lounging and a stop in for a decadent array of foods for delicious lunch faire. Many thanks to Pacific Sales and Shaun Ayala for such a wonderful space to connect with people walking the LCDQ. Great to see our amazing Titanium Sponsor at LCDQ sharing their love of Design! Linda A. Tom, Allied ASID
Our unique experience ended on a sweet note with a choice of generous slices of chocolate cake or cheesecake for dessert that was a perfect way to end a perfect evening together. We are looking forward to the next opportunity to attend Dining by Design with ASID OC! Thanks again to our Titanium Sponsor Pacific Sales, JennAir for a lovely delectable dining experience, as well as our Communications Director Julia Alt for connecting us with her high school friend Todd Hatch, our chapter AV Chairperson Katie Forester along with our At-Large Director Derek Fisher for his AV assistance, our chapter Program co-Chair Pamela Barthold for lending us her alluring illuminated decorative table centerpieces and our photographer Timothy Manning who captured our event to share!
