Dive in to Design at the American Riviera Design Conference
By Kristiina Hackel
The best way to learn about interior design? Go hang out with interior designers.

The American Riviera Design conference, held by the Los Angeles Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), took place earlier this month in historic, picturesque Santa Barbara. Eighty attendees came from Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and even farther to enjoy each other’s company, discuss interior design and learn about new developments in the trade.
This year’s carefully curated events included tours of local landmarks such as the historical Santa Barbara Courthouse, the Santa Barbara Art Museum, the renovated Granada Theatre and the lush gardens of Lotusland. Cabana Home revealed its Montecito home project, a stunning contemporary near Oprah Winfrey’s estate. Cabana Home and other sponsors such as House of Rohl and The Shade Store fed and fêted the visiting designers. Memorable moments included “A Night in Morocco” dinner at the Ferguson Showroom – complete with a belly dancer.
There was also star-power. Our own
Rocky LaFleur
moderated a lively panel with Barclay Butera, Michael Berman and Kerry Joyce, who shared career highlights and insights on how the field is changing. Discussions and workshops focused on the business of design were led by Gail Doby and Elizabeth Ribons to help new and established designers think about how to grow their businesses.
“Networking is key,”
said Ribbons, who shared career advice with designers and students in an intimate setting at Raoul Textiles.
Several designers attending the third annual American Riviera Design conference said it was the best one yet. “I really appreciated the panel discussion and all the tours,” said Lisa Krempasky, a local designer from Santa Barbara.
“I work alone, so it is great to talk to other designers. It is a great platform to connect.”
Kelly Azzarello,
President of the L.A. Chapter of ASID, created the American Riviera Design conference three years ago for exactly this reason. The chapter stretches from San Luis Obispo to South Bay and Palm Springs. “Because we are so large a chapter, we were losing our connection to each other,” Azzarello said. As a student at University of California Santa Barbara, Azzarello had gotten to know the city and thought it would be an ideal place to bring designers together.
“Santa Barbara really is the American Riviera. There is a lot of influence from people all over Europe, and culturally, it is just a great city,”
said Azzarello.
Several attendees shared their favorite part of the conference.
Cheryl Vines
a designer from Nipomo in San Luis Obispo who attended the conference for the second time, loved the tour of the Miramar Beach Hotel, which she described as “spectacular.” “It makes me just want to just go stay there — if I could afford it. I have got to design lots of kitchens,” Vines said, laughing.
Marisha Jackson
, an interior designer from Australia, heard about the conference in an ASID email and had planned to be in California for research and sourcing the same week. “The planets aligned,” she said. She loved Cabana Home’s Montecito house, which she described as “minimalist but very refined in detail,” praising its style, drama, and warmth. Overall, it was “a conference filled with architectural delights,” Jackson said. But the true highlight for most attendees was spending time with each other. “Just being around other designers and talking 'design speak' with everyone had me jazzed. I met so many interesting, charming and wonderful people,” said
Kristien Stevenson,
a member from Porter Ranch.
Students also benefitted from attending the event. ASID members and sponsors were warm and welcoming, and the weekend was full of opportunities to learn and network. “I think it is important for students to expose themselves to as much as they can,” said Gerardo Ayala, an ASID UCLA Extension board member. “Santa Barbara provides a very unique experience because there is no other city like it on the west coast.”
Save the date - the next American Riviera Design Conference is expected to be held in June 2020.
