What is ASID?
The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is the oldest and largest professional organization for interior designers.  ASID was established in 1975, resulting from a merger of two interior design associations formed in 1931.  With more than 40,000 members, ASID establishes a common identity for professionals and businesses in the field of interior design.
