Paul Ma is a world renowned Creative Designer for destination resorts. His creative instinct to generate a sense of rejuvenation and well being to the resort experience was realized in many projects in the Hawaiian islands including Hotel Hana Maui the Westin Maui and Hyatt Regency Maui Westin Kauai (now Marriott Kauai) and Hyatt Regency Waikoloa (now Hilton Waikoloa Village) continually one of the most popular resorts in Hawaii.
The creation of value for a resort embracing considerations of time and culture has changed the resort experience from one of a fine place to visit to one of theatre and entertainment. As Director of Design with Hemmeter Corporation Paul created guest experiences that flowed between abstraction and reality in a comfortable and easily grasped manner. This is achieved with stories that are believable and participatory. The story or "script" is central to every design element from the entry to the property to unpacking a suitcase or ordering a drink at the pool bar. The success of a Paul Ma design is in its thoughtful scripting based on a thorough understanding of guest recreational patterns. This scripting approach was integral in his designs for the Royal Pacific Resort at Universal Orlando a Loews Hotel and Ikspiari a thriving retail dining and entertainment development at the heart of the Tokyo Disney Resort and greatly evident in his design management of the re-branding and re-positioning of the Phoenix Seagaia Resort in Miyazaki Japan for Ripplewood Holdings. |
