Christine Sismaet created a cube with a view
EMPLOYEE: Christine Sismaet
JOB: Conference coordinator in Conference Services, University of Washington
CUBICLE RAVE: “‘Cube Chic’ is the coffee table book for my cubicle. It’s a conversation piece on its own. I’m most productive in a happy, welcoming environment. Nothing is more inspiring than home and family, and hula has been a passion of mine since I was young. My officemates tell me that my décor creates a cheerful energy in the workplace. Bright colors and flowered plants stimulate the brain. I use décor that appeals to the five senses. I want to inspire people to decorate. My decorations bring me lots of visitors, so I take this opportunity as a new employee to make new work friends. All of my visitors get candy.”
A few of Christine’s favorite things in her cubicle: Wisteria tree with fairy lights; fishbowl candy jar; hula doll and pineapple; air freshener illusion candle with tropical scents; Husky-colored lei; UW kukui nut lei; magnets from childhood; robotic owl (office pet perched on her computer); lighted artificial window with beach view; and photo collage of family, friends and pet bunny.
