I am at High Point for the first time!

I am so excited to be at High Point Market event in North Carolina today! Since this is my first time at market, I really had to have a plan to keep myself on track. My goals have been to attend learning events and see the showrooms that represent the sources I have in my area. I also sneaked in a few new and unexpected stops. I tried to schedule loosely so I could have serendipitous moments in my day, and sure enough I did. I was looking for unusual, interesting pieces, and I found many. In later posts I will talk about those things, as well as what I have learned about new trends for the near future. I have lots of photos, so stay tuned.

Interior Design Career Development Day!!! We ate, talked design, and had fun!!!

I had a fine time today at the Arizona Design Center. Our ASID Arizona North Chapter hosted a career development day. I was on the committee to set up the speakers.  I was able to line up a fabulous keynote speaker, national marketing expert Fred Burns. He gave a wonderful presentation on marketing our businesses. I spent a little time chatting with him to and from the airport and felt that was the bonus of the day. At the event, I had such a great time meeting my designer friends and industry partners.

 A shout out to Jill  who headed the committee... high five!!! And to Bev and Tracey and Ellen and everyone else who made this such a success! I especially appreciate the other speakers, ASID National President Lisa B. Henry, FASID, LEED AP, and Michael Thomas, FASID for contributing so much.

I left the conference with so many ideas. Now I have to go make it happen!
