Dear Members,
Every year, during the first quarter of the year, ASID hosts a President’s
Forum. During this conference, National brings all of the chapter’s
presidents together to learn, share and report back to the membership
on the progress and efforts that National is developing for our association. This is just one of the great benefits of becoming involved at the
leadership level that I have enjoyed being a part of.
At this forum, we were introduced to our new Executive Vice President/CEO, Randy Fiser.
What a pleasure it was to meet him and gain insight into his experience and leadership for
ASID. I think he had been on the job for literally two days, but I genuinely liked him and found
him very approachable. We also had a great session with our National President, Lisa B. Henry,
FASID. Lisa spoke of the collaboration of IDCEC, IIDA and ASID on the issue of declining
interest in sitting for the NCIDQ exam and the possibility of developing a joint study program
for the NCIDQ to replace the STEP program. Our National President-Elect, Barbara Marini,
FASID, led the visioning session with an unveiling of the Strategic Plan for the next three years.
One of the biggest revelations was the reveal of our “why” statement:
THE ASID WHY STATEMENT:
ASID ADVANCES THE PROFESSION AND COMMUNICATES THE IMPACT OF INTERIOR DESIGN TO ENHANCE THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE.
This statement can best be explained by viewing the following YouTube link
www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2SEPoQEgqA
Delivered by Simon Sinek, the video “Start With Why” is a very informative and worthwhile
video, I would highly recommend all of our members take the time to view. I know you will be
inspired and also gain insight into the direction that National is taking the Strategic Plan.
It was a two-day event that also included discussions on the availability and importance of
liability insurance for our members. I encourage everyone to please see the National website
www.asid.org for further details. We also were coached on contract negotiations, what a great
skill to develop! One of the best take away from this event was the friendship I formed with
other Presidents that will always keep us connected! Thank you for letting me be a part of
ASID!
Kind regards,
Char Cowan, ASID, LEED AP

Dear Members,
I’m excited and honored to be among the team of dedicated industry professionals who
will lead the membership in the upcoming 2012-2013 fiscal year. Together, we have
developed some terrific new programs and events which will both engage and benefit all
who participate.
In the coming year, you will notice a couple of re-occurring themes or philosophies which
I find invaluable and the foundation for my leadership role. The first one is “team work”.
As a member of this amazing professional organization, we are all part of a greater team of
leaders, innovators, and tastemakers. As individuals, we are each impressive, but
together as a team, we are in a word, unstoppable.
The success of a team relies on the participation of all. Membership is a two way street and
as leaders we will work tirelessly to bring opportunity to the table in the form of networking,
business building, and continuing education. What’s more exciting is what you as members
bring to the table. You possess talent, proven skill, and professionalism - all of the characteristics of an industry leader.
Let’s work together to further build and grow our chapter to it fullest potential. I look
forward to being a part of your team!

February General Meeting
By Nazgol Seyedi
2011-2012 ASID OC Programs Co-Chair
ASID OC’s February General Meeting was held at the Rohl showroom in Irvine.
The meeting started on the first level of the showroom, in the main gallery
with a wine bar. The knowledgeable and friendly staff at Rohl introduced all
their new products to designers and other attendees. After about 45
minutes of viewing products, drinking wine and networking, the attendees
were invited to go upstairs for a nice dinner.
After the dinner and some announcements made by the chapter president,
Char Cowan, and a few other ASID members, it was time for a CEU on “everything you need to know about sinks”. Lou Rohl, the CEO at Rohl, Skip Johnson,
the VP, and Jake Smith, the technical director, made the CEU fun by randomly
asking questions and giving out Starbucks gift cards for the right answers!
The meeting ended by Rohl raffling fabulous prizes, including a Perrin & Rowe
kitchen filtration faucet kit and some beautiful shower-heads. When
leaving the event, each attendee was handed a fun gift bag at the door.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank the management and great
staff at Rohl for their effort in making a warm and amazing event on that
cold rainy evening!
Also, a big fat chunky “thank you” to Kerry Anderson from AudioVisions for
all his AV efforts, and last but not least, to my amazing co-chair Michele Prata
for her hard work putting the events together!
California Designers Unite
People are talking about AB 2482, new legislation sponsored by the Interior
Design Coalition of California and authored by Assemblymember Fiona Ma
(D-San Francisco).
• Enable registered interior designers to participate in federal projects
Unfortunately, some of what you may be hearing just isn’t true.
• Improve reciprocity with other regulated states
Make sure you have the facts on AB 2482!
• Expand opportunities for California Community College students, allowing
these institutions to tailor course offerings to design students’ needs
Fact: AB 2482 allows for anyone to legally continue practicing interior
design as they are now.
Fact: AB 2482 allows existing, private, Certified Interior Designer (CID)
program to continue as it does now.
AB 2482 is needed because state law has not kept up-to-date with the
evolution of the interior design profession. AB 2482 is needed to:
• Create voluntary pathways to licensure so interior designers qualified by
8 |
SUMMER 2012 |
education, experience and examination can practice to their full abilities.
• Provide a path to registration for graduates of interior design degree programs
and current CIDs seeking expanded practice opportunities
• Require Registered Interior Designer stamps to be recognized by building
officials

INDUSTRY PARTNER SPOTLIGHT
Outdoor Elegance
By Barbara Keller, ASID
Living in California, we spend plenty of time outdoors and view our outside
areas as additional rooms for relaxation and entertainment. As you’re designing
your clients’ interiors, take a look at those outside spaces. What is on the
other side of those windows or walls is really part of your interior design and
another opportunity to design rooms—outdoor rooms.
When designing outdoor rooms, the same principles and elements of design
such as color, pattern, and texture, are considered. However, Mother Nature
greatly influences outdoor design also. So, if you’re ready to design outdoor
rooms, those who are in the outdoor business (including furniture, fountains,
outdoor kitchens, umbrellas, lighting, and fireplaces) recommend that we
also consider the following:
• Where is the sun throughout the day?
• What kind of base should be used and how heavy should the umbrella
base be so the umbrella doesn’t blow away when those Santa Ana winds
occur?
• What kinds of zones should be present in an outdoor kitchen? If there’s a
bar, is the counter deep enough to hold a decent sized plate? Are the cabinets airtight so dry goods such as flour and rice can be stored in the kitchen?
Where should the grill be located?
• What would your clients love to inspire their senses—such as sounds from
a fountain, a fireplace to gather around in the evening, art such as statues,
lighting, and beautiful containers?
• Will you want an area rug in your outdoor room?
• What type of cushions should be under that beautiful outdoor fabric so they
don’t hold water?
Outdoor Elegance can help you
make the best design decisions
for your outdoor room design
projects. We carry and represent the top Casual Living manufacturers and are the number
one Casual Living supplier to
the trade in Southern California,
and we protect all Trade sales.
We also offer a great “To the
Trade” discount program and a “To the Trade” Incentive program.
WHO’S WHERE?
We have a great selection of outdoor furniture styles and fabrics; we have
outdoor kitchen appliances and cabinetry, fountains and statuary, umbrellas,
and much more. So everything that you need for your design is at one place,
and if you need items quickly, we stock many pieces.
We have an outdoor design expert who will help you with your design, and
we have a great space for you to work with your clients when visiting our
showroom. Plus, our experienced technicians will set up your furniture, make
sure it all sits properly, and will even remove your clients’ old furniture. We
offer complimentary delivery within a 40 mile radius and provide a cleaning
and protection maintenance program (for cushions and frames). We also
handle all warranty issues for you.
We’re really just a quick trip up to La Verne (we’re closer than Los Angeles
and you’ll be going opposite traffic) so please visit us or call so we can bring
Outdoor Elegance to you.

WHAT’S HOT!
Outdoor Living
By Laura Yorba, Allied ASID
2012 ASID OC Newsletter Editor
Outdoor Lighting
Colorful Accessories
Lighting is a basic necessity for any outdoor space. It provides safety and
security and will let you enjoy your patio all night long. This is a relatively easy
upgrade and a simple way to increase your home’s resale value – people like
good, basic lighting outside.
Incorporating rugs, outdoor pillows, candles and other accessories in vivid
colors or fun patterns can really make your outdoor space come alive. Pick
three to four colors for your scheme and stick with those colors throughout
your design choices. Some of the season's top hues include rich reds, vivid
blues, soothing neutrals and garden-inspired greens. Metal accents are popular
as well, so look for decor with gold or silver detailing for a design that's modern
with a tropical flare.
Fire Pits and Fireplaces
Continuing their rise that started a few years ago, outdoor fire pits and fireplaces are still all the rage throughout 2012. Whether you just like relaxing by
a fire to de-stress or need something to replace the old patio table, a fire pit/fireplace can get the job done. As a bonus, most can be fitted with a grill for cooking,
making them a fun and functional accessory.
Decorative Water Elements
A natural progression of the ever-present outdoor fountain, decorative
water elements like waterfalls, ornamental pools, and bubblers are the way to
go this year. The water feature has always been popular outdoors, helping to
create a calm environment and encouraging relaxation.

ASID Dream Home Re-Cap
By Rick Campos, Allied ASID
2012 ASID OC President Elect
This past March ASID OC delivered the most innovative Designer Showcase
concept to date with the Dream Home at SOCO benefitting the National
Multiple Sclerosis Society. Our featured designers truly outdid themselves
with fresh and sophisticated designs, all with accessibility and multi-generational living in mind.
Many thanks to our Dream Home sponsors: LUXE Magazine, Orange Coast
Magazine, Riviera Magazine, BRIZO. A special thank you to Lightopia and
The Plexi Gallery for going above and beyond the call of duty and making the
Dream Home a success!
The many events associated with the Dream Home as well as the development and construction of the home itself would not have been possible
without the tireless efforts of the Dream Home Steering Committee and
Volunteers.
A big thank you to Adriel Cogdal for taking on such an enormous task with
such enthusiasm and dedication. Adriel’s team of super star leaders includes:
Sue Sanders, Diane Sparacino, Jamie Namanny, Char Cowan, David Rance,
Rick Campos, Monica Olson, Julia Caro, Peg Berens, Cynthia Prizant, Ken
Vick, and Sherrie Tattrie.

DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT
Outdoor Living
By Tamra Mundia, Allied ASID
2012-2013 ASID OC Financial
Director
While designing the Outdoor
Space for the ASID/MS Dream
Home at SOCO this March, I
gained some valuable tips that
I would like to share with you
regarding new trends for
outdoor living.
The outdoor space should incorporate the beauty of nature and enhance it
with comfort for living.
Custom Closet Furnishings
Here are some fun tools and tips:
Try adding a Spright laser projector! It appears to be a traditional landscape light but, projects a huge field of “fireflies” into the trees and surrounding
landscape. It is new to the market and was a huge success on the tour. I
attached the projector to the base of an umbrella and it made for an instant
party atmosphere!!

Include the four classical elements: Fire, Earth, Water and Air. The earth
comes in the form of landscape and potted plants, in varied sizes and species,
to compliment the design. Add a water feature, small or large, and it will
sound amazing and also calm the soul. Add the Fire element with an Ecosmart fire system custom built in the form of a concrete table/fire-pit as I
used in this space, or fit it right into a concrete wall for an instant glow. The
Eco-smart systems are fueled by clean burning bioethanol made by fermenting
sugar and starch components of plant by products. This does not emit fumes
into the air and can burn safely in an enclosed space. You will truly relish the
atmosphere a flickering fire provides on a chilly evening.
Outdoor furniture, fabrics,
and area rugs are a must for
any space and with the new
outdoor fabric choices, along
with amazing manufacturer
warrantees, the possibilities are endless! The outdoor
acrylic fabrics are solution
dyed, meaning the color
is put into the fiber in a
liquid state and it is extremely effective against moisture and fading. We can
literally design an entirely unique and custom outdoor area rug with the confidence that it will withstand the test of time.
Additional ideas would include: outdoor plaster walls in the form of
decomposed rock, marble or granite – the finish is only limited to your imagination; custom art on metal that can withstand the elements; and exterior
solar shades to line the gazebo when the sun blazes.
To complete any space make sure you have landscape and ambient lighting
as well as a music source and outdoor accessories.
I believe it is vitally important to overall pleasure and happiness to expand
living to outdoor spaces. Happy Creating!

March General Meeting
By Nazgol Seyedi
ASID OC held the March General Meeting
on Thursday the 22nd at the beautiful designed
ASID Dream Home in Costa Mesa.
The Plexi Gallery and ASIC-OC were the cosponsors of the event. The Plexi Gallery
provided plenty of wine and a variety of
soft beverages, while ASID-OC offered a wide
selection of cheese, crackers, cold-cuts, fruit,
a to-die-for Chicken Ceasar Salad, and the
dessert.
The event started by attendees visiting the Dream Home spaces and networking.
After dinner, Char Cowan welcomed the guests and acknowledged the great
work of Adriel Cogdal, the Dream Home Chair. A few announcements later
and receiving a National ASID Awards by IDI students, the speaker of the
event, Dr. Simona Mainini started her fun lecture on Feng Shui in Architecture
and Interior Design. This was a topic that was new to so many and attracted
the attention of most of the attendees. Dr. Simona finished her lecture by 15
minutes of Q & A; and the co-sponsor of the evening, Plexi Gallery, ended the
event by giving out some fabulous prizes.
The room was filled with over 120 happy attendees. The great vibe of the
Dream Home, the good wine, the excellent selection of food, the interesting

speaker’s topic, all and all made the event a huge success. One could see
the satisfactory smile on the faces of all attendees leaving the event! Ahhh..
What a relief!!
We would like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to Maria Deganis
from Plexi Gallery and Gigi Harris for all their hard work in preparing and
setting up the food!
I would also give two thumbs-up to Kerry Anderson of AudioVisions for
always helping us out with our AV requests and a big thank you to my
hardworking Co-Chair Michele Prata!

April General Meeting
By Nazgol Seyedi
From the beautiful Spanish line of products to the mouth-watering Spanish
food and drink, to the prize of their vignette design contest: a Trip to Spain;
all you could think of at our April general meeting at Porcelanosa was “Viva
Espana”!!
What a great evening! The recently renovated and remodeled showroom of
Porcelanosa in Anaheim was so pleasant to be at for this event. The staff
was friendly and knowledgeable of their products, and each one of them was
a great host to the event.
After a few ASID announcements by Char Cowan, our ASID-OC Chapter
President, Pamela Kartchner of Porcelanosa explained about their vignette
design contest. The winning vignette will be installed and shown at the showroom with a plaque of recognition and the winner will win a trip to Spain!
How exciting!
The speaker of the night was the President Elect of ASID- Los Angeles,
Katherine Fern. She spoke on the hot yet complicated topic of Legislation,
and thanks to her way of explaining the topic it was not as scary as it
sounds! Thank you Kat! The evening ended with some exciting Spanish themed raffle prizes and informative goodie bags.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank Porcelanosa, especially Pamela
Kartchner, Ivy Smart, Paco Montilla, and Jack Handley.
Like always, I would also like to mention how much we appreciate all the help
given by Kerry Anderson of AudioVision with our AV needs; and finally a
big thank you to my Co-Chair Michele Prata!

Student Rep Message
Improving &

Glass
By Tamara Stratton, Student ASID
2012 ASID OC Student Rep to the Board
ASID student chapters had a very eventful and productive spring
session. Some of our student members will be graduating and ASID extends special
congratulations to each graduate for their personal accomplishment, perseverance and commitment to the profession. We know that our students are next in
line to be design professionals and that we rely on them to carry the ASID torch
forward!
Over the past months, student ASID members representing four campuses actively
participated in their own campus design events and community services events
as well as making a fantastic showing as both volunteers and as designers at the
ASID Dream Home in March. Great job students! Spring Market at the LDC
followed immediately and the final big student event of the season was the highly
creative annual ASID Noah’s ARC Student Design Challenge to benefit the Salvation
Army Adult Rehabilitation Center. This event showcases the ingenuity and
resourcefulness of our students and has given them experience with project
management and team design. We know what a challenge that can be! Students
created amazing and beautiful rooms from repurposed and refurbished items.
Way to be Green!
As the summer approaches, a greater part of our time and attention is spent in the
open air and in our outdoor living environments here in beautiful California. We
hope that the long days and balmy weather inspire and rejuvenate all of your design
juices and we look forward to seeing students at general meetings and events
during the summer “ASID OC welcomes students aboard” months (May/June/July
general meetings free to students ). We most especially look forward to many
exciting contributions moving forward and into the next school year!

Riding the wave of IDI winning ASID Student Chapter of the Year-2nd
place/honorable mention, students, nicknamed the Dream Team, designed
the lobby for the ASID OC Dream Home, a service project whose proceeds
benefited the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. This was a fantastic
experience for students and for the public who toured the Dream Home.
Wasting no time, students moved on to their annual service project, Noah’s
ARC, benefiting the Salvation Army. IDI, reigning winners in the Best Display,
Best Design Process Boards and Highest Silent Auction Proceeds, have students
Lisa Ann McKeehan, Nancy Johnson, Mallory McGaughy & Diane Romick
leading this year’s team. Students select items from the Salvation Army’s
warehouse and refurbish them to use in a room vignette. The items are
them sold to the public. It is amazing to see the creativity of students in the
incredible rooms they design.
Students also attended the HDExpo 2012 in Las Vegas, the country’s largest
hospitality design show. Students had the opportunity to tour the Bellagio
Hotel led by the hotel’s designer, Roger Thomas. IDI Faculty lead a design
tour of the restaurants at City Center and the exposition center which was
filled with vendors and design resources. Students participated in a seminar
hosted by hospitality design professionals to learn from and also network with
design professionals. What an ideal opportunity to study hotel and restaurant design and for students just to have fun!!

The Art Institute
Wow! What a whirlwind our Winter quarter was at The Art Institute of
California-Orange County and Spring is equally exciting. We can hardly wait
for Summer!
We began the year with an inspiring visit from our ASID-OC President
Char Cowan, Emerging Professionals Chair, Rona Graf and Student Rep Tamara
Stratton followed by a Panel of Commercial Design folks from Vendors to
Dealers to Design firms that was so informative!
We assembled our Dream home team of Julia Bent, Mel Wehrberg, Christian
Arante, Thanh Nguyen and Irene Duran and created our Sustainably designed,
accessible Gift Shop with virtually no budget. We followed the rule of “recycle,
reuse and repurpose” and our ocean inspired room featured shipping pallet
“driftwood” inspired wall paneling, beach glass inspired wine bottle and paperback book (what else would you have with you at the beach?) lighting fixtures,
a huge fabric wave ceiling and beach inspired rock, stick and succulent plantings. Our “gallery wall” reflected the gradations of the ocean from light to
dark green and featured amazing surf photography by Jason Murray from
Kona Gallery. We learned so much and had a wonderful time! What an amazing
group of ASID Designers we got to work with and know!
With the dream home behind us, we’re off and running with the ASID Noah’s
ARC Design Challenge. Sandra Ramirez-Bravo, Mel Wehrberg, Sunny Anderson,
Beck Craft and Mandy King had all sorts of wonderful ideas and hopefully
you all came out to see ALL of the Noah’s ARC spaces and support the Salvation
Army! They worked hard to repurpose furniture and accessories into a

Lam were also very busy this quarter working on our IIDA Haute Couture
Fashion designed for the year 2040. Although they didn’t win the competition, we are really proud of the incredible couture gown they created-they
are winners in our eyes!
Spring also brought us to Fixtures Living for a program and tour by Paynal
Ward, a great guest speaker; Linda Nabulsi from All Seating, and we had a
visit from the Chris Christie from USGBC!
Finally, some of us also headed to Vegas for the HDExpo 2012. Onward!!

STUDENT
CORNER
Saddleback College
Since the last ASID issue, the two most recent
community activities that the students have
been involved with is the IIDA Fashion Show
to benefit Working Wardrobe and ASID Noah's
ARC Design Challenge to benefit Salvation
Army Adult Rehabilitation Center.
We are in the process of filling our
board positions with new students,
since 80% of the board is graduating.
It'll be fun to see who will take over
next year.
The ASID Noah's ARC Design Challenge grand
opening was May 5th at the San Clemente
Salvation Army. We had so much fun again this
year working with repurposed furniture.
In March, we had Doug Stead with CCIDC as
our monthly club meeting speaker. He spoke
on the importance of proper ethics as a designer.
He's always a favorite with his distinguished
background and information.
In closing, I would like to say that I
have had a great time being the student
board president and could not have
asked for a more fun, creative, and
helpful board of awesome designers.
Lori, Kaitlin, Kelsey, Pat, Barbara, Keith,
Wendy and Carolyn, I love you all.

At the end of April, we had our last interior
design club meeting for the semester and our
speaker was Barbara Deckmeyer with High
Dollar Designer. The meeting was both informative and fun and ended
with an end of the semester pot luck party. We have many students graduating from the design program this semester and want to congratulate them
all and wish them the very best in their interior design careers.
A big Thank You also to all of our
amazing Interior Design Professors
who's talent and guidance has been
beyond rewarding and professional
in all that you have taught us. Best
wishes to all.
Westwood College
Westwood students were excited about participating in the third annual ASID
Noah’s ARC Design Challenge. The team was happy and excited to share their
experience and knowledge for repurpose and reusing the materials and objects
to bring the room together.
Also, this year several of our ASID Interior Design students were motivated
to be participating in the Christopher Guy BrtiWeek Design Contest, which
requires students to design pieces of furniture or decorative accessories following
key Christopher Guy design elements. The winner will be offered a one month
internship at the Christopher Guy headquarters in Singapore. Go Team.
DICHRO DESIGN
There were several volunteer students that participated in the Habitat for
Humanity Restore construction. These students donated their time to paint,
space plan, construct cabinetry, and construct retail stock shelves. Doing this
volunteer project provided the students with knowledge of hands-on real world
construction, and how to communicate and understand other volunteers.
We are off to a great start.
