About Our Chapter

ASID Florida North Chapter celebrates design, inspiring and enriching its members and community through knowledge, experiences and relationships. ASID is a community of people committed to interior design, from the brightest newcomers to the wisest pioneers. We are driven by our love for design in the service of people. We have the courage to intentionally examine our failures as well as celebrate our successes and in the process demonstrate the power of design to positively change people's lives.

Our chapter is made up of nearly 600 practicing members. Both professional designers and industry partners, our members serve the residential and commercial design needs of Jacksonville, Tallahassee, Pensacola, Vero Beach/Cocoa Beach, and Orlando and their surrounding communities. In addition the chapter has over 400 student members who benefit from the educational, professional development and mentoring opportunities available through the ASID.
