2012 – 2013 Board of Directors

hange is all around us! The past few months have seen our Elements Trade Show revived, the ever popular and successful home tour back after a hiatus, and a fabulous Professional Development Day with national speakers! And the change continues: The 2012-2013 Board of Directors have been installed and will bring its own insights and excitement to our next year’s activities. Chapter meetings are being shaken up and will move outside of Industry Partner Showrooms in 2013. Technology classes for our membership will be added to help grow your business in this new economy. It is an exciting time for our chapter as home sales increase and longdelayed projects are back on the boards. Design has an emphasis on everything “green”—reduce, reuse, recycle. In Phoenix, we are right in the heart of aging-in-place design as boomers age and retire here. We have some of the best interior design college programs in the country and continue to produce top graduates that can support your business growth. Thanks to all of our members for keeping our chapter strong! Please join us September 20 at Cosentino’s as we celebrate our volunteers over the past year and look forward to 2013! In the meantime, have a relaxing summer—we’ll see you soon! Cindy Lewton, ASID President, Arizona North Chapter

FROM TH E Editor

DESERT ESIGN

here is much to absorb when walking into a beautifully designed interior. That setting comes to fruition usually as a result of many people working together. Whether or not the front door has yet been built through which one may walk to observe the scope of the project, a team is typically assembled once the property owner decides to pursue this path. The same construct takes place with your Desert Design Magazine DMM. Once the focus of the issue comes into formation, the team comes together to create the publication, and I would like to thank this team for continually bringing DDM to a reality. Although she attempts to stay in the background, Cindy Lewton, ASID, our new President, has guided me through the process of creating a publication. I gladly ask her for such assistance. Although some errors do occasionally appear in these pages, many people spend much time to create this magazine. Industry Partners Naomi Anderson and Dede Radford are always peering over my shoulder to do the proofreading once the “put together” proof comes to me. That proof comes to me from Linda Longmire who waits to receive the raw material from me, toss it into a magical pot, wave her magical wand, and make everything look so phenomenal. Linda is our Art Director, and we appreciate all she does for us. There’s another Linda to add to the brew – Linda J. Barkman, Editor of Phoenix Home & Garden and contributor to DDM. The entire Arizona North Chapter of ASID truly appreciates our ASID/PH&G partnership, and we thank you. Members, please attend our October meeting at Sub Zero/Wolf where Linda will be available to sign copies of PH&G’s Essential Southwest which will be debuting this September. Finally, I would like to thank Karen Romersa, our sales director, and the many advertisers who choose to place advertisements in DDM as a result of Karen’s dedicated efforts. Finally, I’m looking forward to the next issue which will contain the results of the 2012 Design Excellence Awards.

Introducing the 2012 – 2013 Board of Directors By Cindy Le wton, ASID, P r esid e nt

s you may know by now, our President, Tracey Marshall, ASID stepped down a few months early because of a great career opportunity she couldn’t turn down. Additionally, Ellen Bosco, IP, Director at Large, received a promotion and more responsibility in her career and also stepped down a few months early. Board positions are two-year commitments, and we appreciate everything both Tracey and Ellen generously provided to our chapter. We wish them all the best in their new endeavors! These changes mean that some board members advanced in their positions a few months early. As well, the board members who were slated to join the board in October have stepped in a few months early. With all these changes, this is a good time to introduce or re-introduce everyone. President - Cindy Lewton, ASID: “We are at an exciting juncture of rebirth and growth of not only our chapter, but of the interior design industry as a whole. I am very fortunate to provide support to our Board as well as our membership in this upcoming period. Professionally, I am the Principal of AZ Design Group, specializing in commercial, healthcare, and residential aging-in-place design environments.” President Elect - Jill Stebbins, Allied ASID: “I am an award-winning interior designer with a dual degree in Interior Design and Business/Marketing. My experience includes eighteen years in hospitality marketing and hospitality & residential interior design. I have served as Student Affairs Committee Chair for two years and served on the ASID Board for two years as the Professional Development Director.” Financial Director – Linda Heinz, FASID: “I am President of Linda Heinz Interiors, LLC, specializing in high-end residential interiors. I am pleased to be serving you as Financial Director to ASID AZ North. My involvement with ASID over the last 32 years has been a rewarding experience. I look forward to seeing all of you at our events.”

Communications Director – LaDawn Bentley, ASID: “I am the President of Interior Sanctuaries, LLC, a design firm dedicated to sustainable design in multifamily residential, commercial, healthcare, hospitality, and senior living. I enjoy visiting American Indian Nations and learning about their unique Native American heritage.” Membership Director – Gretchen Palmer, Allied ASID: “I am the Owner of PHG Consulting & Design, offering specialized design services for commercial projects, residential renovations, and consulting services to builders and developers in product development, marketing, strategic operations, and project management. We also provide commercial and residential construction services to select referrals.” Professional Development Director – Jewell Blair, Allied ASID: “Originally from Chicago, my career in education spanned 35 years, from teacher to Principal. I retired in 2006 and pursued a degree in Interior Design. I own two businesses, Jay B’s Interior Design and Baskets by Jay B. My passion for design has led me to being a recurring guest on ABC15 Sonoran Living Live, a local morning show, for three years. I am also a published author of design articles and an adjunct professor at Glendale Community College teaching interior design courses. Additionally, I have served this chapter as the Membership Director and look forward to my current position as Professional Development Director, supporting student affairs and education.” Director at Large - Naomi Anderson, IP: “I’m very excited to be representing all Industry Partner members as your liaison to the ASID AZ North Chapter Board of Directors. As an IP Member myself for more than 25 years and having had a career in marketing and PR (now as Director of Marketing for Feathers Fine Custom Furnishings), I have a strong understanding of the needs of this particular membership segment. I would like to hear from any Industry Partners who

Design Meets Technology Home Automation Done Beautifully

By WILLIAM SEXTON, ASID Industry Partner, Crestron Electronics

ould you ever get through your day without touching some form of technology such as a cell phone, iPad® or TV? Technology is part of our daily routines. From the minute we wake up, we interact with technology – everything from alarm clocks, light switches, and cell phones to flat screen televisions, computers, and smart phones. All of these devices provide streamlined and simplified ways to manage our busy lives in homes, schools, and offices. Your clients are no different. They are interacting with technology more than ever before.

Technology Incorporated into Design Clients expect you to consider their technology needs in the design phase. Even though your disciplines may seem worlds apart, your collaboration with interior technology designers, also known as system integrators, and their teams are essential and can be greatly successful by augmenting your design skill set. What is interior technology? It’s when electronic and digital products or systems are applied within a space to shape the experience of a built interior

environment. In other words, it’s the use of technology inside homes and buildings. An interior technology designer creates, installs, programs, maintains, and services the system. There have been cases where the interior designer and systems integrator haven’t worked together as a team. As a result, the client may end up with unsightly banks of switches or televisions and speakers not placed in the best locations to balance aesthetics with functionality. Interior technology designers understand design and partner with the project’s entire design team. They are geared to work with designers to achieve creative solutions. So in the case of a TV overpowering a wall, the interior technology designer may recommend putting the display behind a tapestry or installing a mirror TV to uphold the sophisticated design of the room while still being functional when the homeowner wants to watch TV. When design meets technology, it achieves the reality that automation can be done beautifully. It acknowledges that designers do not need to become technology experts.You don’t need to know if it’s HD, wireless, in the cloud, or iTunes®-ready. It’s about educating your client to explore ways to enhance their lifestyle with interior technology. It’s best achieved when collaboration takes place as early as possible. The ultimate goal is that the designer’s vision is not only maintained, but enhanced. The main benefits are aesthetics, convenience, energy savings, and safety and security.

User Interfaces & Apple Integration User interfaces are how the client interacts with interior technology. The more traditional interfaces are light switches, thermostats, and remote controls. The Crestron system reports on the solar home’s various subsystems to ensure everything is working to properly conserve energy.

Desert Design SUMMER 2012

Home automation done beautifully using an in-wall touch system to control entertainment systems, lighting, shading, security, and environmental systems.

Each type of interior technology offers its own user interface. Without seamless integration, the end result is wall and table clutter that is unpleasing to the eye and difficult to use. We might think a light switch is simple, but when there are many of them together in one spot, it can be confusing. By incorporating a single six-button keypad, the client has an easy way to set the ambiance of the room for entertaining or reading. User interfaces enable designers to provide guidance to their clients and encourage them to use such features when designing a project. The iPad/iPhone® and Android™ devices are becoming a popular type of user interface. Many people say, “My five year old can pick it up and just use it.” They are fascinated by its capabilities. Crestron has an app that enables clients to stay connected to their home or office when they’re on the go.

Team Work Designers should kick start the team building early in the project with a face-to-face meeting and include interior technology designers, architects,

lighting designers, engineers, and relevant subcontractors. Align yourself or your firm with a top interior technology designer in your area whose work you know and trust. Don’t ever be intimidated by technology or afraid to ask questions. Take advantage of education and advice from these specialists and manufacturers such as Crestron. At the end of the day, it’s all about collaboration. The entire design team is often surprised by what is possible and ultimately the client’s needs are not only met, but exceeded.

EYE ON DESIGN By Linda J. Barkman, Editor , P h o e n i x H o me & G a r de n ASID In dustry Partne r

Photo by Chris Loomis

he more I see, the more I am amazed by the amount of impact that comes from comparatively small things. As a scarf or belt can complete and even enliven an outfit, so can wellchosen finishing touches enhance a home. And in a big way. Whether the goal is to create texture, a sense of drama or something else,

Steel tiles form high wainscoting on the walls of this powder room designed by Caroline DeCesare, Allied ASID. The black concrete sink rests on a zebrawood base. Flooring is a mosaic of end cuts from leftover wood beams.

Desert Design sUMMER 2012

the trick as I see it is to strike a balance between subtle and snappy, predictable and unexpected, without being contrived. A narrow reveal on a cabinet front, for example, can catch the eye and urge it to linger just a little longer. A large piece of petrified wood can pick up colors used in a room and serve as an organic and dynamic work of art. And an unusual pendant light in a special place can be a source of beauty and intrigue by day or by night. As in the choice of product, the selection of materials used in smaller applications can be a visual treat and have substantial impact as well. Some examples I’ve WAC Lighting’s “Ice” Crystal seen in homes here Pendant include a painted-glass backsplash behind a kitchen range; an under-lit agate countertop on a vanity; hefty, earthy tile used in lieu of traditional crown molding; a stitchedcopper vanity wall; and end cuts of beautifully grained wood laid in an interesting way on one powder room floor, brass tiles on another. With restricted budgets and a desire for getting the most bang possible from the proverbial buck, little things mean a lot. And the bigger things are sure to follow. One thing is for certain in these uncertain times, and that is the ability of designers to continue to amaze me. I can hardly wait to see what you come up with next.

Designing the American Dream The Malyn Romero Story

alyn Romero, ASID, was born and raised in Manila, Philippines. She grew up in an environment that would inspire one to dream BIG and make a difference. Studying hard to earn her degree, she was a consistent scholar in an exclusive girls’ college in Manila. She went on to be employed by a renowned interior design firm in Makati - the business center in Metropolitan Manila, Philippines. Malyn eventually took and successfully passed a grueling three-day Interior Design Board

Desert Design sUMMER 2012

Exam, one that is similar to the NCIDQ in the U.S. In 2002, she married and migrated to the U.S. where she worked with reputable design firms in Maryland. Her family moved to Arizona in 2006. Soon, an offer came from a previous employer in Maryland to provide contractual design work – mostly concept drawings done in CAD, design sketches, perspective drawings, and renderings, all sent via email. Mayln credits technology for making this long distance arrangement possible for one who is passionate about design. Recognizing the competitive job market, Malyn studied to take the NCIDQ. After passing the exam, she said “truly, the reward of a job well done is having done it”. A friend from her STEP Class encouraged her to join ASID, and she says, “I’m glad I did”. She is currently the Chair of the Emerging Professionals Committee as well as Chair of Social Media.
