4 | WINTER 2011 | TEXAS CHAPTER 

An Intangible Benefit of ASID…..FRIENDS! 

By this printing, we will be enjoying our holidays. As I write, the weather 

is cool, and I’ve been “on the job” as your president, for a couple of weeks. I 

attended the ASID Texas Chapter Student Symposium in Dallas, October 14- 

15, 2011, San Antonio’s first ever Premiere Night October 27, and Austin’s Design 

Excellence Awards on November 4. Those events inspired me to write about 

one of my favorite ASID membership benefits.....personal relationships. 

Anyone in ASID leadership is often asked, “What do I get for my money 

from ASID?” I asked that question, albeit not so nicely, and look what happened to me! I can rattle off a 

list of tangible member benefits all day long, and they are good ones. You can find them on our ASID Texas 

Chapter website (www.asidtx.org). But I also enjoy the “intangible” benefits of relationships as well. 

This was my second Student Symposium to attend. Did you know that planning for this event takes an 

entire year and rivals the preparations for a celebrity wedding? Did you know that it takes an entire team 

to successfully address every minute detail involved in this event? Did I mention, they are all ASID volunteers? 

If we had to outsource event planning for Student Symposium, the price tag would be steep. But 

our dedicated ASID friends performed all the tasks flawlessly and without complaint. Please join me in 

thanking The 2011 ASID Student Symposium Committee: Aaron Duke, Allied ASID; Lisa Barron, Allied 

ASID; Peter Dedek, PhD, ASID; Laura McDonald Stewart, ASID; Lisa DiOnne, Allied ASID; Allen Hart, 

ASID; Kathryn Nelson, Student ASID; Lori Watkins, Allied ASID. 

Serving alongside the committee members gave me insight into their strengths. ASID is made up of 

some really amazing people. I got to meet students from all over the state of Texas! The students were 

treated to tours, portfolio/resume reviews, panel discussions, a judged charette, presentations from “the 

real world” of design, showroom tours, scholarships, awards, and lots of food. No organization does more 

for students than ASID does, and I personally reminded them all of this fact! This event is possible because 

the ASID Texas Chapter is financially sound, and believes in investing in our future. 

San Antonio’s Premiere Night was specifically created to provide an opportunity for ASID industry 

partners and practitioners to meet each other, develop relationships, see the latest available products, and 

discuss their projects. We had at least 32 vendor tables and 125 attendees over and above the IP count. 

The food was delicious and the evening setting permitted a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. I 

watched in amazement as my friends, Lynley Serratt, Allied ASID, and Tessa Burns, Industry Partner ASID, 

and their team, enjoyed the fruits of months of labor. We gained new IP members from this event, and 

the excitement from new relationships was palpable. ASID events like Premiere Night foster relationships 

that span the age spectrum from the youth of our students to the maturity of our seasoned practitioners 

and industry partners. I don’t know about you, but I love watching each group appreciate the other, 

and learn from one another. With each new client, I can hardly wait to give my ASID friends the business, 

especially supporting our local businesses. We need each other now more than ever! 

Any trip to Austin is a treat for me. I graduated from UT, my parents and most of my immediate family 

live there. So when I get my invitation for Austin’s Design Excellence Awards presentation, my RSVP is

Texas Chapter Communication Director 2011-2013 

If you haven’t heard by now, ASID has undergone a re-branding. The 

campaign was rolled out in June and by now you should see the red and white 

new ASID logo on all communications. 

Many of you are probably used to getting evites from your design communities, 

but unfortunately they are no longer “brand compliant”. You’ll probably 

hear this word more as time goes on, but national has undergone quite 

an exhaustive campaign to make sure that each chapter looks the same in all 

their communications. So, look for alternative notices regarding meetings 

and events from your design communities and check the ASIDTX.org website 

too! 

With the re-branding campaign there are new appellation logos for our 

use. You can find them on the ASID Texas website for Professional Members: 

http://www.asidtx.org/members/benefits_of_membership and for IP members: 

http://www.asidtx.org/design_products_services/industry_partner_benefits. 

You can also log into the www.asid.org website and find them there as well.

instantaneous. Jennifer Burggraaf, ASID, and Jill Williams, ASID, and their 

entire team of volunteers, organized this year’s 26 annual event. The 

Austin ASID IPs are friendly, informative, and supportive. Each year, I 

make a special effort to visit each and every table, and to thank them on behalf 

of ASID Texas Chapter for providing the products essential for us to execute 

our designs. 

As the awards were presented and the winner approached the podium, 

applause erupted all around. I realize that some view us as “competitors” and 

to be sure, we are. Beyond that fact however, we were so excited for each 

award winner...really, genuinely thrilled for their successes. ASID members 

are extremely talented and I’m honored to be part of an organization that 

rewards competition and hard work. 

ASID is full of friends. Some friends are from relationships forged decades 

ago. Some friends are brand new and fill us with energy. I’m glad you are one 

of my mine. We make a difference in this world. Enjoy your blessings and 

your holidays. Best wishes for your continued success in this new year! 

Your Friend, 

Kelley Barnett, ASID 

ASID Texas Chapter President 2011/2012 

A Re-branding Story Continued 

Please keep in mind, the appellation logos are only in black and white at this 

time. If you have any questions regarding the new brand guidelines, please 

refer to: www.asidbrandguide.org/ . 

If you are an Industry Partner member and want to send out information 

about your product or events to the members of the Texas chapter, contact 

the Texas chapter office. 

I also want to encourage you to please share any news you may have…promotions, 

new jobs, awards, or certifications with us to include in our chapter magazine. 

Since our chapter magazine is archived online, you can link the magazine 

from the ASID Texas website back to your website, blog or Facebook 

page to bring you or your company higher in the SEO rankings. 

Don’t forget about our ASID Facebook page as well! This is a great place 

for you to post your events, let your fellow ASID members know about accomplishments 

or even if you’re looking for a job or have a job opening! We’re 

here to network, help each other, promote our businesses and our industry. 

I look forward to communicating with you over the next two years.

METROCON Expo & Conference 

The Most Convenient Event for Industry Connections, Continuing Education & Innovative New Products 

By Rosemarie Rene, ASID, RID 

METROCON Expo & Conference, is recognized as the Southwest region’s 

most impressive two-day tradeshow featuring the latest in products and 

innovative ideas to our vital design industry members including; interior 

designers, architects, facility managers, and interior design students. The 

2011 event exemplified a great success despite the slowly recovering 

Architecture and Design industry. 

All of the dedicated volunteer committee members of METROCON11 Expo 

& Conference are pleased to announce that the event attracted 2,447 

participants from 21 states, as well as from outside the U.S.A. The budgetconscious 

show that is now in its ninth year sold all of its 37 sponsorships 

by February 12th and sold all of its 369 booths nine days ahead of the official 

deadline with a waiting list of 10 prospective exhibitors. 

This exciting annual event is organized through landmark volunteer 

collaboration between the Texas Chapter of ASID and the Texas-Oklahoma 

Chapter of IIDA. In a determined effort to serve the corporate, healthcare, 

hospitality, institutional, multifamily, residential, and retail sectors, the two 

organizations unite to offer the best in exhibitors and interior design 

continuing education for their members and beyond – all located within 

our design center community. 

Held at Dallas Market Hall [2200 Stemmons Fwy, Dallas, TX 75207] on 

Thursday, August 11 and Friday, August 12, 2011, METROCON11 offered 

attendees 242 diverse vendors, 51 interior design-related continuing education 

courses and a happy hour designed especially for networking. 

INDUSTRY SUPPORT 

Prices for both exhibitors and attendees are extremely low when compared 

to similar events around the USA. This is due to the hard work of a handful 

of ASID Texas and IIDA Texas-Oklahoma volunteers who make up the 

dedicated METROCON Committee, and the generosity of 37 show sponsors 

– including 2011 Title Sponsor, Business Interiors by Staples, and 2011 

Media Sponsor, Design Guide. If you are interested about becoming a 2012 

Sponsor, please email Sponsor Liaison, Steve Patterson: 

sponsor@metrocon.info. 

The committee would like to congratulate the following exhibitors who are 

the 2011 recipients of the Pegasus Exhibitor Awards: 

• Best Promotional Campaign – Adleta Corporation 

• Most Informative Exhibit – Wilson Office Interiors 

• Best New Product – Nucraft 

• Best Overall Exhibit – SantaMargherita 

Haworth, Meletio Lighting and Electrical, Seal Tex, Tufenkian Carpets, 

and UltraMedia, Inc. supplied furnishings, lighting and video equipment to 

improve the appearance and function of our outstanding ASID Texas 

booth, which was wonderfully designed, assembled and dismantled by 

René Designs (Oscar and Rosemarie René, ASID) this year. Many thanks to 

Alina Phillips, who contributed to the launch of the new ASID brand in the 

ASID booth through the contribution of her red line drawings depicting 

iconic furniture pieces and accessories. 


We sincerely thank all of the ASID Industry Partners and other vendors 

who participated as Exhibitors in the tradeshow, but a note to the Industry 

Partners out there who offer residential products and services: 

Residentially-focused designers want you there! Think about it: There is a 

“Wow Factor” when you run across something new and unexpected at a 

tradeshow. Our members are always looking for new sources, and when 

you are not there, you are not on their radar. There are a great deal of residentially-focused 

designers attending METROCON every year, and they 

desperately want you to participate, so plan on being at the 2012 show, 

which will take place Thursday, August 9 & Friday, August 11, 2012! If you 

are interested in finding out more about becoming a 2012 Exhibitor, please 

email exhibitors@metrocon.info. 

VOLUNTEER POWER 

A team of detailed volunteers from the Texas Chapter of ASID and the 

Texas-Oklahoma Chapter of IIDA executed METROCON11. For nine years, 

the professional organization’s has systematically planned the conference 

as a service to their members. Each year a portion of the income from the 

event is donated to the chapters to fund special educational and recognition 

programs, as well as scholarships and charities earmarked by the individual 

organizations. 

As the METROCON11 Co-Chair, I would like to thank the following people 

(listed in alphabetical order) who worked so hard to make ASID Texas’ 

participation another tremendous success: 

Dianne Etheredge, ASID, IIDA, RID, Past Presiding Chair (2010) 

Isin King, Allied Member ASID, 2011 Exhibitor Liaison 

Steve Patterson, ASID IP Rep, RID, 2011 Sponsorship Liaison 

Ann Riedel, Allied Member ASID, 2011 Volunteer Coordinator 

Laura McDonald Stewart, ASID, IIDA, LEED AP, RID, Administration / 

PR & Marketing 

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Pat McLaughlin, ASID, 

RID, and Donna Vining, FASID, IIDA, RID, for devoting their Thursday 

afternoon to judging the Pegasus Exhibitor Awards, as well as recognize 

our devoted ASID Texas Chapter Administrator, Pat Gallagher, and ASID 

Membership Recruitment Manager, Jacqueline Lucas, for manning our 

booth throughout the show. Without these volunteers and the countless 

other on-site ASID volunteers, METROCON11 Expo & Conference would 

never have been the great success that it was. 

Each year participating as a volunteer I experience a personal gratification 

in organizing this event with creative colleagues from the Texas Chapter of 

ASID and the Texas-Oklahoma Chapter of IIDA. I applaud their dedication 

and all members working to strengthen both our organization and our 

profession!

Focus on the Face of the Texas Chapter 

“Focus on the Face of the Chapter” is the fifth in a new series of articles 

with the objective of showcasing valued members of our Texas Chapter 

who are working within our Design Communities to fulfill our Strategic Plan’s 

goals through their humanitarian and community service. This article features 

By Kelley Barnett, ASID 

ASID interior designers directly and profoundly 

impact the lives of those occupying the spaces we 

create. We design both functional and aesthetically 

beautiful spaces. Never have these truths been more 

personal, than during my current project. 

Eddie Moreno, Jr., a high school senior, basketball 

star, and all around great kid, was shot in the neck 

during a road rage incident, and is now permanently 

paralyzed from his chin down. The oldest of 4 

boys, the family lived in a small, cramped, old house, 

much in need of extensive repair. The plea for help 

hit the airwaves and several members of the “Design 

Team” responded. “Operation Bring Eddie Home” 

was launched. 

It was determined that the house was not “fixable”. 

With fear and the full knowledge that once the house 

was stripped down to studs, there was no point of 

return, AND that we would be committed to months 

of personal sacrifice, we forged ahead. Complete 

strangers became best friends in the fires of difficulty. 

Discovering termite and mold damage confirmed that 

our decision was the correct one, not to mention the 

narrow doorways and numerous thresholds Eddie 

would encounter. His oxygen tanks, monitoring equipment, 

his sensitivity to dust and heat, and a totally 

independent electrical supply for his bedroom, further 

confirmed the need for a complete renovation. 

Our ASID San Antonio Design Community rallied 

to help! ASID interior designers, industry partners, 

and students have offered their help, give their 

time, expertise, products, and encouragement. In 

these tough economic times, I hated to even ask for 

donations, but the kindness and generosity of our IPs 

has left me in tears. Without asking for anything in 

return, they have given tens of thousands of dollars 

of product to renovate the Moreno home. 

In the midst of tragedy, blessings abound. 

1) We have grown to love and admire Eddie Moreno, Jr. 

and his entire family (who feed the workers each 

weekend)! 

2) ASID and Universal Design were shared with a whole 

new group of people. Universal Design principles 

were incorporated and explained to all who would 

listen. Every family members’ needs were considered 

and incorporated. 

3) We have witnessed an outpouring of tangible giving 

by our ASID Industry Partners. 


4) We have met new contractors, installers and suppliers 

who we trust and will do business with in the future. 

5) ASID has gained some new Industry Partners. 

6) Our students have lived the powerful gift in volunteering. 

The two general contractors have patiently 

guided the Texas State University students through 

hands on installations. Eddie Jr. was bound for Texas 

State University after graduation, so their presence 

was especially appreciated. 

7) For most of us, this has been the hardest project we’ve 

undertaken in our careers Now we know what we 

are capable of. 

We have the finish line in sight as we eagerly await 

Eddie Moreno, Jr.’s homecoming. Having lived in separate 

locations since March, the Moreno family simply 

wants to be “all together” under one roof especially for 

the holidays. We have designated a special spot for their 

Christmas Tree...in the front window of course! 

We are proud that ASID and the entire team of dedicated 

volunteers created a new home for the Morenos, 

so that they can create new memories. Eddie Jr. will 

our professional and IP members in San Antonio. Several individuals and businesses 

throughout the San Antonio community came together to help Eddie 

Moreno, Jr. and his family create an environment that will benefit everyone 

in the home. 

San Antonio Design Community Helps to Bring Eddie Home 

Written into our National Chapter Core Values, as they relate stewardship, 

I found this statement: “Through volunteerism and partnerships with 

community service projects, we share our gifts and talents as designers to 

help those in need in our communities. As professionals, we are stewards 

for our clients, the profession, the Society and the environment.” 

Please let me know of someone in your Design Community who is 

have complete freedom in every room of his new home, 

including a special spot in his room to welcome guests, 

play XBOX, check his Facebook page, and enjoy the sun 

on his new deck.

NEWS 

Using Home Technology to be Green 

Submitted by Bill O'Connor of Dallas Sight and Sound 

Over the past few years much has been said about reducing 

our environmental footprint - being “green.” Many people 

have taken steps to reduce their impact on our ecosystem 

by buying more energy-efficient or hybrid cars, taking 

public transportation, recycling, etc. What many 

people never consider is using control systems in the 

home to help save our environment. 

Having a “green home” means more than simply 

being energy efficient; one must look at the big 

picture. Being green also means minimizing environmental 

impacts, increasing the building’s 

service life, and providing a clean and healthy 

atmosphere WITHOUT giving up comfort! 

Though the focus here is on home control systems, 

let’s look first at what we might do in the building 

process to lessen the environmental impact. Can the 

home be designed to minimize the clearing of the lot? Can recycled materials 

be used for any of the building supplies? Can materials be sourced 

locally instead of from out of the state or country? And what are the most 

durable materials that can achieve your design objectives? 

The best way to reduce impact on the environment is to reduce consumption, 

not by co-generation (solar panels, for example). Let’s look at some of 

the things to consider in designing electronic systems for the home (hint: 

do this early in the design process). One of the most obvious areas is 

lighting. There are numerous types of lighting available today – LED, 

compact fluorescent, good ol’ incandescent – the use of each will be determined 

by the goal of the light, whether it be general lighting or purpose 

lighting like desks or art lights. Lighting can be turned on or off based on 

certain events, like arming or disarming of the security system; or astronomic 

clocks that know the position of the sun and how it changes each 

day; or occupancy or light sensors. Planning to maximize the efficiency of 

a lighting system is multi-faceted and involves many people: architect, interior 

designer, lighting designer, electrician and electronic systems designer. 

Dimming lights also extends the life of each lamp. Dimming a bulb 10% 

roughly doubles its life! And depending on the type, some bulbs have 

mercury or other dangerous elements in them, so extra care must be taken 

in disposing them. So if we can make them last longer, we won’t be filling 


landfills or potentially releasing 

dangerous toxins into the environment. 

Integrating the air conditioning/heating 

system is essential to 

increase efficiency. It can be 

controlled automatically through 

scheduling, and changed according to 

differing needs. For example, you 

might have it go to 78° while you are 

gone every day, but turn it down if you 

were staying home with a sick child. Or if 

you have visitors who have over-stayed 

their welcome, you can set their room 

to get uncomfortably warm, until they 

get the message! 

Motorized shades are another way to reduce the 

load on the system. For example with an astronomic 

clock or light sensor, shades can be pre-programmed to close 

on the west side in the afternoon. Or, in cold winter months, to open to 

harvest the sunlight and the warmth it brings. Again, consultation with an 

electronic systems designer can help you determine the best strategy for 

you. 

One of the biggest challenges in load management is “phantom loads” – 

a.k.a. standby losses. A typical home can waste several hundred dollars a 

year on standby losses. Devices that do not need to be on or plugged in (like 

your DVD player or TV or small electronics/phone chargers – any device 

that draws power even when “off”) should be physically disconnected from 

the power (switched off with a power strip or managed by a control 

system) to eliminate the energy waste. 

Saving energy is much like losing weight - if we monitor our usage, we can 

make better decisions about where to cut back. An educated consumer 

aware of usage patterns can take steps to reduce energy consumption. 

Many control systems allow you to see your energy consumption, either 

on-site or over an Internet connection, or from an iPhone, iPad or Android 

device. If you have feedback and notification of significant energy waste 

you can dramatically reduce consumption. Even something as simple as a 

dirty air filter (which reduces air flow to your HVAC system, making it 

work harder) can be checked. Putting in periodic reminders for you or 

your staff is simple and can save you thousands of dollars. 

These electronic systems are not just for new homes. If you have an 

existing home, often wires can be run to allow you to take advantage of 

these technologies. And if wiring is not feasible, wireless technologies have 

improved to the point that they are viable alternatives. 

Putting electronics into a home can seem counter-intuitive to saving 

energy. But the key is to make your home as comfortable and enjoyable as 

possible for your lifestyle, then design the systems around how you live 

your life. Products can be chosen according to their environmental footprint, 

then managed by a properly installed control system in order to 

maximize efficiency. Be sure to consult with a properly trained electronic 

systems designer to make sure you get the best bang for your buck.

UltraMedia, Inc. Goes “Tech” in Texas 

Contemporary Theater with Auralex 

When Mike Brock, lead designer for UltraMedia, was asked to install a 

state-of-the-art entertainment system in a Frisco home, he turned to 

Auralex® Acoustics for the theater’s acoustical treatments. 

The 6,000-square-foot home and party barn boast a fully integrated 

system, including audio, video, and lighting. Auralex helped to create a 

high-end entertainment zone where the family can enjoy movies and 

sporting events. 

Auralex's custom panels were installed throughout the theater. The treatments 

include absorption, diffusion, reflection, and bass trapping, with 

materials hidden behind the fabric surface. The components are custom fit 

on site, allowing for dimensional change or room irregularity. 

The media room features an attached game room — both spaces decorated 

in Texas Tech colors, as the homeowners are major university supporters. 

The interior designer used three grey in the acoustic panels. To maintain 

the Tech theme, the theater features five opaque glass LED columns that 

shine bright red. 

Another feature of the theater is the traditional seating, with a bar and 

barstools at the back. This presented a unique audio challenge, as the bar 

was constructed entirely out of metal. To deaden ringing, UltraMedia had 

the metal posts filled with sand. 

The entire theatre is constructed of sound-reducing drywall, with a solid 

core door, to help isolate the space acoustically. The theater features a 

TKO Associates 


thick, heavily padded carpet so that no additional ceiling treatment was 

needed. 

The theater features a 9.2 surround system. “We took it as far as we could 

to make the room sound great and not have any rattles or ringing,” adds 

Brock. The installation included a long list of high-end home theater gear. 

For additional information about UltraMedia or Auralex Acoustics, contact 

Pat Johnson at UltraMedia, Inc. at 972-238-9888, or visit

EnviroGLAS Announces Name Change to Glass Recycled 

As of September 20, Texas-based EnviroGLAS will be 

become ‘Glass Recycled’ – a corporate strategy that will 

reflect its expanded scope and service to the commercial 

and residential building products industry. 

According to Tim Whaley, inventor and founder of the 

original EnviroGLAS process of recycling and transforming 

glass and porcelain into beautiful, sustainable 

applications, “the growth of major commercial applications 

for our environmentally-friendly products has 

resulted in our expansion and development of four distinct brand offerings. 

We felt our new name and corporate identity of ‘Glass Recycled’ more 

accurately reflects our expanded scope...” 

With this name change comes the creation of four distinct brands under 

the ‘Glass Recycled’ umbrella – offering architects and designers the ability 

to create totally custom combinations for floors, walls, recycled glass countertops 

and specialty décor items. ‘Glass Recycled’ not only reflects these 

many added applications but further communicates the company’s philosophy 

of creating stunning products that are as were as environmentally 

friendly as they were beautiful. 

Glass Recycled’s major premise is taking unused glass and porcelain products 

of all shapes, sizes and colors and combining them in a unique epoxy 

system to create a granite-like product that has the added benefit of total 

customization in both color choices and final use. Like granite and other 

terrazzo-like materials, Glass Recycled products are extremely durable and 


sophisticated but offer the added benefits of unlimited 

size and color combinations. 

Hundreds of clients have already enjoyed the benefits of 

this sustainable product in major commercial and residential 

uses including flooring, wall panels, bars and 

countertops, bathrooms and landscape accents, as well as 

one-of-a-kind decorator touches including art-like 

murals and company logo uses. 

Glass Recycled has created four sub-brands including GlassSLAB is a stunning 

product suitable for kitchen countertops, bathrooms and other countertop 

applications in a variety of sizes, GlassPLANK is the company’s 

unique flooring and wall panel products that can be installed with seams as 

little as 1/64” and available in a variety of sizes and thickness, GlassDECOR 

is uniquely designed interior products that may include recycled glass table 

tops, glass panels, ceiling tiles and other imaginable applications and 

GlassSCAPE – a recycled glass landscaping material, which is loose, bagged 

recycled glass and porcelain aggregate product that can be used as a 

permanent and beautiful alternative to groundcover, mulch or used in 

fountain and aquariums. 

Glass Recycled has been featured on HGTV, DIY and Extreme Home 

Makeover. To find out more about this cutting-edge product – which is 

marketed and fabricated in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas and

2011 ASID Texas Chapter Student Symposium 

Students on the “Tour of Duty” of the Arts District 

On October 13-15, 2011, 90 students and 20 practitioners, industry partners, 

and educators from across the state participated in Dallas’ own Interior 

Design Boot Camp. This annual Student Symposium drew participants 

from 16 colleges/universities all across the state of Texas. 

Students began their experience Thursday evening with a “Boondoggle” 

through Slocum Street Style. Their next stop was “Chop Chop” to mingle 

and enjoy beverages and food with ASID leaders at Ellen S. Holt. Ellen also 

led us through her journey in the industry and shared her continued passion 

for textiles and the creation of her amazing hand created trim. 

During the Friday morning “Call to Arms” breakfast/registration the 

students were hosted by Herman Miller in their incredible showroom. 

They were grouped into units for “Declassified Information” which 

consisted of three 45 minute rotating sessions of amazing real life experiences 

that the students wouldn’t experience in the classroom. 

First up was Carole B. Steadham, SDA/C, Hon. AIA, President of Placement 

By Design [PBD], a Placement Consulting Recruiting firm. She shared her 

expertise with new ideas for résumés and portfolios and tips on learning how 

to “Market Yourself”. 

Next up was Kelley Barnett, ASID, current Texas Chapter President to talk 

about “Harnessing the Power of the Intangible”. Kelley discussed how being 

part of ASID not only opens doors but creates life-long relationships that 

benefit you personally and professionally. She shared two volunteer projects 

that she has recently been involved in to show students the powerful benefits 

of doing pro-bono work. Her most recent endeavor has been helping an 18year 

old high school senior who was paralyzed from the neck down in a 

tragic road rage incident. Kelley has rallied fellow industry partners to reconfigure 

his home to make it accessible for his new physical needs. 

Last up was Lisa Barron, Allied Member ASID of Dallas Design Group 

Interiors and Rick Smotherman, Managing Partner of Precision Delivery 

Services, to talk about “Project Installations: The Good, The Bad & The 

Ugly”. They entertained and shocked the students with true life stories 

about what really takes place behind the scenes to get all the furniture, 

furnishings, equipment, art and accessories fully installed. 


INTERIOR DESIGN BOOT CAMP 

Next stop for the day was the “Tour of Duty” where students and practitioners 

explored the largest urban arts district in the United States on a 

walking architectural tour of the Dallas Arts District. 

After the tour, the students were hosted and fed during “Chow Time” at the 

Renaissance Collection. BuyLEDs presented new insights to the lighting 

world in LEDs: Innovations & Applications. Students then worked their way 

through the “Obstacle Course” of showrooms in and around the Decorative 

Center Dallas exploring and learning various topics on how to work with 

the showrooms. The “Active Duty” presentation by Charrisse Johnston, 

ASID, LEED AP, Assoc. AIA was then hosted by Poggenpohl. Charrisse 

entertained the troops by sharing her journey, experiences, and ever evolving 

life that led to her current position in the design world at Gensler and how 

the doors that have been opened to her through her involvement with ASID. 

Last up on Friday was a little “R&R” Cocktail Party hosted by Mody & Mody. 

“Basic Training” Speed Charette Winners . Group 2: Whitney Hendrickson – 

El Centro College; Brooke McKinney – Texas State University; Lane Taylor – 

Stephen F. Austin State University; Hsin Jou Hsiao – Stephen F. Austin State 

University; Cristi Peterson – Texas State University; Marian Powell – Wade 

College; Christine Clark – Baylor University 

All events Saturday took place at Wilson Office Interiors and began with 

”C-Rations” breakfast sponsored by Sherwin-Williams. The “Basic 

Training” Speed Charette sponsored by: BuyLEDs started the morning off in 

full swing. Students were divided into twelve teams and paired with students 

from different schools. They designed on the fly just like in real life and 

created amazing conceptual designs. 

“Mess Hall” time was a round table luncheon sponsored by Kravet where 

practitioners shared their knowledge and experience with the students 

during informal discussions. 

After lunch, the “USO Show” panel of practitioners consisting of John Phifer 

Marrs, RID, ASID; Derek Alan Vanlandingham; Jason Buckner, RID, IIDA; 

and Elizabeth Stanfield, RID, ASID was sponsored by Walker Zanger. The 

entertaining panel consisted of emerging interior designers and some of their 

mentors. In true USO fashion, they entertained the troops while passing on 

words of wisdom about the industry the students are entering into. 

Saturday culminated with the awards ceremony, where the following 

talented student winners were announced:

Austin Design Community 

By Jennifer Burggraaf, ASID, Chair 

■ Austin has finally broken into fall and we are starting to escape the heat 

of the last summer. To celebrate we are gearing up with several Fall ASID 

events as well as welcoming a new design community board. We have 

many returning faces but some familiar ones as well. 

Chair: Jill Williams 

Chair Elect: Michelle Thomas 

Financial Chair: Lori Anderson 

Membership Chair: Kim Bates 

Programs Chair: Luis Angulo and Michele Christianson 

IP Liaison: Dawn Hearn and Holly Hillis 

Communications Chair: Karla Urbina 

Student Liaison: Angelica Brem 

Secretary: Shellee Anderson 

■ Thank you Jennifer Burggraaf for all of your hard work over the last several 

years on our board and most recently as our Design Community’s chair. We 

wish you the best of luck and look forward to meeting the newest member of 

your family that is due to arrive in October. 

■ Our first ASID homes tour will be help on Saturday October 15th in conjunction 

with AIA Austin’s Austin x design celebration. We will feature four 

houses that were designed by four of our community’s designers, Panache 

Interiors, Laura Britt Design, Bulhon Design Associates and Spaces Designed. 

We are very excited for this new event and want to thank each designer for 

all their hard work and commitment to making this event a success. 

■ On November 4th we will hold our 26th annual Design Excellence ceremony. 

Our planning committee has been working extra hard this year to plan 

this event. We have had a great turn out of support from our sponsors and 

want to thank them for all of their help. Everyone is more than welcome to 

come to our event please visit the ASID Texas website for ticket sales. We 

look forward to seeing you all there. 

Dallas Design Community 

By Marissa Marmolejos, ASID, Chair 

■ “Tour de Internationale” was the theme of our September Membership 

Drive which included a wonderful progressive dinner hosted by: Design Guide, 

Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, Carlin & Company, Elegant Additions, and 

Innovations and The Bright Group. With perfectly paired food and wine, and 

the evident attention to detail, the evening seemed flawless. 

October hosted our Annual Fundraiser Auction, co-sponsored with D 

Home and was held at The Kitchen Source. The raffle and silent auction 

proceeds went to benefit two wonderful local organizations: Hope’s Door, 

a shelter and counseling center that offers comprehensive programs and 

services that help break the cycle of domestic abuse, and The Creative Arts 

Center of Dallas, a non-profit arts organization offering art outreach 

programs to DFW area schools and job training programs. The event 

would not have been such a success without the generous donations from 

our Industry Partners: 

Bentwood of Dallas, Levantina Cantoni, McGannon Showrooms, 

Capitol Distributing, New Life Hardwoods, Dallas Market Center, Robert- 

Lawrence Designs, Dallas Rugs, RSVP Design Services, Dallas Sight & 

Sound, Sherwin Williams, Design Guide, Staples, Duralee, SubZero/Wolf, 

Emser, Taylors on Ten, Feizy Rugs, The Maroon Moon, Fiberseal, Vetro,

■ November in Dallas will be another exciting month as the Dallas Market 

Center and Fiberseal host our monthly meeting. A panel of four astonishing 

speakers will share their knowledge of branding and marketing: “Brand, 

Market, and Sell Your Services with Confidence: Start With Who You Know”. 

Petey Parker- founder of ConsultP3; Donna Bender- founder of the Donna 

Bender Company; Maura Schreier- CEO of Best @ Selling; Blanche Evans-

■ Upcoming events in Dallas include participating in Dallas Build Expo, at 

the Dallas Convention Center on December 7th and 8th, and our Holiday 

Party at IBB Design Fine Furnishings in Frisco on December 13th. 

■ As always we thank all our members for their continued support of ASID. 

We could not do it without you. 

■ When an email went out to the ASID Dallas Design Community members 

asking for volunteers to help enhance the cafeteria for Casa View 

Elementary School, a group of dedicated members responded quickly with 

creative ideas to make the cafeteria a beautiful, functional place for all the 

students to enjoy in years to come. 

Yakeesha Wiliams, teacher and project leader from Casa View Elementary 

School, was extremely happy with the results and grateful for the volunteer 

effort of ASID members: “This could not be made possible without the 

hard work and vision from the design professionals who participated. 

They were instrumental in coming up with a vision and making it happen.” 

We want to recognize and thank each one of our dedicated volunteers in 

making this project a great success. 

Dawn Cleaves: Initially volunteering to create a mural, Dawn was there 

every day with her supplies guiding and working on the project. She 

managed the whole thing, ordering the paint, working with the district 

personnel, and assisting in getting volunteers and so much more. I really 

could not have done this without her. 

Dawn Cleaves, Artisan Finishes LLC, ASID Industry Partner 

www.artisanfinishes.net, 214.500.2063 

Julie Mandrell: Instrumental in helping to get the ball rolling, Julie worked 

with Sherwin Williams to procure paint, worked with Sonja Quintero on 

designing schemes, was the person I communicated with on the project. 

Julie was very knowledgeable about community resources and got things 

done.

10 of our members did attend MetroCon in August. As always it was very 

informative and fun. Thank you to the MetroCon committee and ASID leadership 

for holding such a meaningful event. 

■ Our September meeting was hosted by Ferguson Enterprises and Rocky 

Mountain Hardware. The topic of the CEPH was “Bronze Architectural 

Hardware: A Sustainable Design Option”. The class gave the basic on the 

formation and construction of bronze used in hardware and the life process

with every piece handcrafted. We want to thank our local IP representatives 

of Ferguson’s for hosting the event and luncheon.

September Meeting 

■ Our September 20th meeting was at Emser Tile. Lucinda Ruch and Diana 

Gats of The Alternative Board led a seminar on social networking – specifically

H.B Fuller for a yummy fajita dinner. Outgoing Chair, Robin Burrill, ASID, 

gave out plaques to her board members, as well as the new ASID pins to all 

members. We also had a drawing for prizes from a list of designers who signed 

up for Real World Design Week, ¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬¬persons who referred new members,

glass piece from Vetro Glass and a Kimball Museum membership. Jennifer

time. On that note I would like to give a special shout out to our board

have made this event as great as it was! I am already looking forward to doing 

this again next year!

December 1st will be our annual Holiday Party. We have some wonderful 

surprises in store so EVERYONE should mark their calendars now for an 

event to be remembered! In January, we look forward to partnering up with
