SAN FRANCISCO, CA. December 21, 2010. Kalen Willis, interior designer with Hatchett Hospitality, has joined the prestigious Hotel Business Review as a contributing editor. Hotel Business Review is the primary business journal of HotelExecutive.com which is one of the hotel industry's leading online business resources (see www.hotelexecutive.com/business review ).

At Hatchett Hospitality, Kalen Willis specializes in interior design for the hotel industry, with responsibility for project design, pricing, and management. She works with franchisers and franchisees on a wide variety of hotel brands, styles, and themes - from economy to luxury, from resort to business conference, and from traditional to modern.

Ms. Kalen Willis “My approach to the design of a project is driven by the target audience and by the end-use of the space,” explains Ms. Willis. “Beautiful surroundings enhance our state of mind and enrich our lives, so often I find a signature piece that makes a statement and then build around it - however, I always remain flexible in my philosophy and my strategy because my only rule for design is that there are no rules.”

Away from the office, Ms. Willis volunteers with a variety of groups including Relay for Life, Habitat for Humanity, animal shelters, and after school programs for children with special needs.

“Whether on the job or in the community, I believe that it's a blessing to have the opportunity to make someone else's day a little bit better,” adds Ms. Willis. “Now I look forward to doing that as I share tips and trends about FF&E with the readers of Hotel Business Review, who certainly are a distinguished and discriminating group.”

A native of Carrollton, Texas, Ms. Willis earned a bachelor of interior design degree at Texas Tech University in Lubbock and is an allied member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). She was a NEWH (The Network of the Hospitality Industry) scholarship award winner and is now a member this group.
