Tiffany Hale Carter

President 2015/2016

Meet Tiffany Hale Carter, our ASID President for the 2015/2016 Year!

Tiffany is a terrific designer, business woman, and mother!

We are excited to have her lead us in another incredible and exciting year for our Student Chapter!

Hello ASID Members!

I am honored and excited to be your president for the 2015/2016 year. I was asked to share with our chapter a little bit about myself, and my hopes for the upcoming year with ASID.

I am a former event planner who stumbled into the world of interior design. While working as an event planner I wanted to gain a better understanding of how people functioned in spaces. This led me to take a few interior design courses, and once I entered the world of design, I never looked back!

Interior design is a much larger world than I ever imagined. The importance of universal design and sustainability has become apparent. As designers, we have an impact on protecting the environment while ensuring that no one person, despite their physical capabilities, will ever feel like a space wasn’t meant for them. Upon receiving my BFA/MID in May 2016, I hope to implement these principles at a healthcare design firm.

My focus as your president is to grow our chapter through student membership and off-‐campus exposure. To appeal to students, I want to emphasize the benefits of being part of this wonderful organization. Not only does it prepare students for the professional world, but it also presents the opportunity to network with some of Georgia’s biggest names in design. To gain exposure for our chapter off-‐campus, I want to make sure that Brenau is represented at local major interior design events. By doing this, design professionals will know that Brenau students are serious and passionate about design. I also hope that the exposure will warrant great internship opportunities as well as job positions for our graduating students.

I hope that you are just as excited about the upcoming year as I am! It is said that a leader is only as good as his/her team, so I am looking forward to working with each of you.

Let the journey begin!

Tiffany Hale Carter

Hatch... is Hatching Innovative Restaurant Design.

By Jordan Ligon

Last week our student ASID chapter had the privilege of touring Hatch, Chic-Fil-A’s 80,000 square foot design research and learning center, where a team of 45 come together to experiment ideas that push the Chic-Fil-A experience forward. It is evident that a great deal of thought and

care went into the creation of this award winning space. Hatch designers have made the effort to incorporate a Georgia theme through the use of peach baskets for lampshades. In addition a local artist was commissioned for a unique Coca-Cola lighting fixture. The warehouse is intentionally left unfinished to promote creativity and risk taking amongst the team. Elizabeth, our guide, walked us through the different sections, explaining the purpose of each component and activity that occurred within every area of the warehouse. She was thorough in pointing out the individual details that made each area unique. Elizabeth emphasized that the priority of each space is to benefit the end-user. She said, “Good design comes from discipline, meeting the end-users needs is our top goal at Hatch”. The Live Lab is perhaps the most innovative part of Hatch. Upon entering the space it appears to be a normal room, however, the walls are made of foam core. Elizabeth informed us that these foam core walls are part of the process in creating layout concepts for future restaurants. This allows for risk taking when trying out a new idea. If one layout does not work, one can simply tear it down and start over. It is through this particular process, the team discovers the best plan for each space. Hatch is a recent development for Chick-fil-a Headquarters. With a team of forty-five people, it is an exciting endeavor not only for Chick-fil-a, but for the future of restaurant design.

Ingredients: 2 pounds ground beef, turkey or venison 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1 yellow or white onion, chopped 1 green bell pepper, chopped 4 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped 2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (optional) 3 tablespoons chili powder 2 teaspoons cumin 1 teaspoon sugar 1 teaspoon oregano 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon black ground pepper 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper 46-oz. can tomato juice 28-oz. can diced tomatoes 15-oz. can tomato sauce 16-oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed 16-oz. can pinto beans, drained and rinsed Shredded cheese and sour cream, for topping

Directions for Tiffany’s Chili • In a large skillet, cook 2 pounds of ground beef, turkey

or venison over medium-high heat until the meat is no longer pink.

• Transfer the meat to a bowl. Drain the excess grease from the skillet, but do not clean it. Leave those tasty meat morsels right where they are so they can mingle with their new veggie friends.

• Add 4 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet and heat over medium-high heat.

• Add: 1 yellow or white onion chopped, 1 green bell pepper chopped 4 cloves garlic minced, 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, 2 jalapeño peppers, finely chopped (optional, but highly recommended)

• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions and garlic are fragrant and the onions and peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.

Remove the skillet from the heat and add: • 3 tablespoons chili powder, 2 teaspoons cumin, 1

teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon oregano, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

• Stir it all together. If you have the time, I recommend using a slow cooker. If you don't have the time, the chili will be just as delicious and you can finish up on the stovetop. Either throw the entire contents of the skillet into a slow cooker or keep them where they are. ADD:

• Cooked ground beef/venison/turkey, 46-oz. container tomato-juice, 28-oz. can diced tomatoes, 15-oz. can tomato sauce, 16-oz. can kidney beans, drained and rinsed, 16-oz. can pinto beans, drained and rinsed.

• Mix everything together. • If you are using a slow cooker, cook on Low setting for

7 to 8 hours, stirring occasionally. • If you are using the stovetop, bring the chili to a boil

over medium-high heat. Reduce to medium-low and simmer for 1 to 2 hours, depending on how much time you have.

• Serve warm with a bit of shredded cheddar cheese and a dollop of sour cream.

2015 ASID Student Day Student Day With ASID President Kerry Howard and ADAC!

Georgia Chapter President, Kerry Howard hosted student day at ADAC this past February. It was a huge success giving students a chance to see the very places

that designers use for resources. Macy Dwyer, a student at the Gainesville campus helped to organize the event. Students toured multiple showrooms

gaining a better understanding of how the design industry operates. In addition Niki Papadopoulos of Mark Williams Interior gave an educational talk on the expectations of internships and what to anticipate after graduating from design

school. Overall the event was informative, and the evening mixer gave students a chance to mix and mingle with design professionals. Mr. Howard as the ASID

president has worked with schools to give students a chance to get involved with the Georgia chapter. Brenau University ASID has taken advantage of this

wonderful opportunity and has had a very successful year thanks to guidance from the Georgia ASID professional chapter.

Spring 2015 Fundraiser Brenau University ASID Student Chapter 2014/2015 holds the record for the most money raised during a fundraiser for our student chapter! This year’s fundraiser included a raffle basket worth nearly 700 dollars. It was a true

collaborative effort on everyone involved with the student chapter. The board members worked together on marketing the event, securing donation items, and selling tickets! We raised over one thousand dollars for next year’s

chapter! A big thank you to Nina Jackson our president who pushed everyone to take part in the fundraiser. As a result we have the funds to secure training

in Washington, DC for next year’s president and president-‐elect!
