What does it mean if a designer is an ASID designer?

ASID is a community of people driven by a common love for design and committed to the belief that interior design, as a service to people, is a powerful, multi-faceted profession that can positively change people's lives. Professional members of ASID must pass rigorous acceptance standards: They must have a combination of accredited design education and/or full-time work experience and pass a two-day accreditation examination administered by the National Council for Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ). Through education, knowledge sharing, advocacy, community building and outreach, the Society strives to advance the interior design profession and, in the process, to demonstrate and celebrate the power of design to positively change people's lives.

Its more than 36,000 members engage in a variety of professional programs and activities through a network of 48 chapters throughout the United States and Canada. Founded in 1975, the American Society of Interior Designers is the oldest, largest and leading professional organization for interior designers.

ASID inspires and enriches its members by promoting the value of interior design, while providing indispensable knowledge and experiences that build relationships. The Society's 18,000 practicing interior designers work in all areas of both commercial and residential design. ASID Industry Partners include more than 2,700 member firms with some 7,500 individual representatives, uniting the professional designer with manufacturers of design-related products and services.

The Society's membership also includes more than 10,500 students of interior design. ASID has student chapters at colleges, universities and design schools with 2-year and 4-year programs throughout the U.S. and "virtual" chapters.

Creating spaces for living and working: Commercial spaces that encourage creativity, increase productivity and inspire better performance.

From living rooms to private offices to public venues we are each drawn in by something distinctive and different in the world around us. Inspired by the satisfaction that comes from knowing a space gives comfort while serving its unique purpose I approach each project with new enthusiasm.” –Christine

Hello, I am a professional designer with over 30 years of experience. My extensive resume includes 15 years of working with the San Joaquin Valley’s finest designer - my mother, Diana Hill. After raising my family, I’ve now made the decision to pursue my passion for interior design and staging on a full-time basis. I am thoroughly enjoying renewing relationships and establishing new ones with clients throughout the valley. I strongly believe in presenting my client’s style in their own home or office by arranging their personal possessions in an extremely attractive and functional manner. I take great pride in learning about my clients’ personal tastes in order to properly and effectively design their living or working spaces.
