Shae Wilder – Trade Marketing Manager – BlueStar Cooking

With a degree in interior design and passion for architecture, it was no surprise I found myself in the kitchen and bath industry. After spending just shy of a decade as a kitchen designer & project manager in the San Francisco Bay area, it was only natural to continue into the cooking side of the kitchen in appliances. For the past 9 years I have enjoyed working directly with the specifier community providing product knowledge, customization specification resources that they need to complete a seamless project.

Mark Rosenhaus – President – Rosenhaus Design

Mark graduated from Pratt Institute in Interior Architecture attracted to the modern forms, curves and the abstract by Mondrian, Van Gogh, Alexander Calder, and many others. Years later, upon learning of the Fibonacci Numbers and 62% golden proportion his designs came to fruition. Mark professes that cabinets can be more than mere boxes; they can have the artfulness of 3-dimensional sculpture. Mark has been a kitchen designer for 39 years. An expert on proportion, for the past 22 years, his program: ‘Geometry in Nature – The DNA of Design’ has drawn high praise at KBIS and many National Kitchen & Bath Association chapters across the country. In 2009 it won the NKBA Chapter Program of the Year Award and has garnered over 55,000 views.
