Welcome!


Thank you for visiting the Official Blog Spot for AIS Alum. This Blog was created for the AIS Alum to keep in contact with one another. We encourage you to share this web address with other graduates from the ID Department at AIS that you may still be in contact with. Here we will be able to share what is going on in our careers, announce and coordinate upcoming events and continue networking while we are out in the field.

My name is Dante and as your moderator I will maintain the blog and modify it based on the groups input. Uwe Bergk (the brainchild of this blog) will also be an active participant in this group so that we may give him updates on how well our education prepared us for work in the industry.

The Soul of a Nice Guy

For all of you that remember the very charismatic and passionate instructor Aaron Swar, who retired from AIS in 2005, you know how infectious his personality was. I am pleased to announce that after his term at AIS he pursued his personal goal of publishing a book and has succeeded in doing so.

Here is the announcement in his own words:

“Hi,
After 2 years of work, and a lifetime of emotions...I'm thrilled to announce the publication of my book, The Soul of a Nice Guy-A Midlife Sojourn. It's available now on www.Amazon.com and www.borders.com . I hope you'll give a look.”

Thanks and love,

Aaron :-)

IDCW presents Product Runway 2008


For the first time in Seattle, leading interior design firms and students will flaunt their creativity by sending couture garments crafted from a diverse range of interior materials and finishes down the runway. Innovative teams from regional firms will design and construct their creations using everything from carpet to lighting – as they compete for prizes and bragging rights! Part runway fashion show, part theatrical production and part indulgence for guests, Product Runway
promises to be the event of the year and a showcase for the Puget Sound design community.
