CANDIDATE STATEMENT

I believe “partnership” is the key to how Design Impacts Lives. Without Industry Partners the products and materials wouldn’t exist and without designers the dream wouldn’t come to life. Together we open the door to opportunities.

As the first Industry Partner President -Elect, I would love to share how we can open the door of opportunities to new industry partners, design students, and professional designers. I have a history of partnering students and designers together, fellow IPs with new designers, and growing friendships. I would be honored to open the door and walk with our ASID community as we support enhancing Houston lifestyles.
