WEST | WOOD Partners

Founded in 1975, The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is the oldest, largest and only multi-disciplinary professional organization for interior designers, interior design students and the manufacturers and suppliers who support the profession.

Through education, knowledge sharing, advocacy, community building and outreach, ASID strives to advance the interior design profession and, in the process, demonstrate and celebrate the power of design to positively change people’s lives.

ASID leads interior designers in shared conversations around topics that matter – from evidence-based and human-centric design to social responsibility, well-being and sustainability. They showcase the impact of design on the human experience and the value interior designers provide.
