A Message from our President
Hello and thank you for taking the time to visit the ASID Arizona South Website.
My name is Michelle Carnes, and I am the President for ASID Arizona South 2011-2012. I am proud to be a part of the largest professional organization for Interior Designers in the country
and representing the strong chapter of ASID Arizona South.
You have selected your Architect and Builder and now it is time to select the third important partner on your team, the Interior Designer. The Interior Designer is often thought of during the framing or drywall phase of the project which is way too late and results in costly mistakes that could have been avoided had they been a part of the team from the very beginning.
If you are looking for a professional, experienced and qualified Interior Designer to be a part of your team, help you solve problems, avoid costly mistakes and most importantly, create an attractive, affordable space designed to specifically to meet your needs, then you have come to the right place.
Whether new construction or remodeling, a design project involves numerous choices and decisions. You want someone knowledgeable and experienced to advise you and guide you through this somewhat daunting process. Someone you can trust to listen to your ideas, understand your needs and help you realize your vision. You want a Professional.
ASID Members have the training and expertise to manage all the details of your project. They know the importance of listening to your ideas and understanding your needs. From consultation, to planning, to purchasing and specifying, they can assist you every step of the way, helping you understand the choices and adding value to your budget. If this wasn’t enough ASID designers must also meet the profession’s education and experience requirements, as well as adhere to a strict code of ethics and professional conduct. The ASID appellation after a designer’s name indicates that he or she is an accredited designer who has passed rigorous professional scrutiny and testing.
To begin the search for your ASID Arizona South Interior Designer visit the “Find a Designer” resource on this website to review designer profiles and select the designer that meets your needs. Please also visit the Industry Partner section of our website to see the local and national craftsman and vendors that
represent our chapter and provide quality services to our community.
To learn more about how to select a designer and what you can do to assist your designer in working together as a team please read the two part article titled ‘Designing Your Space” found under the Find a Designer tab on this website.
Best of luck to you on your project and congratulations on selecting an ASID Designer and Industry Partner members who will positively impact your project.
Michelle Carnes, ASID
