The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) announced its 2026 Ones to Watch Award, a recognition for early-career interior design leaders. The program aims to celebrate individuals advancing the future of the built environment through design excellence, research, education, advocacy, volunteer leadership and service.
As the Ones to Watch program enters its tenth year, the award is presented across two categories: award winners and award winners & scholars. The award winners & scholars receive scholarship support to participate in a two-year leadership program.
“Interior design continues to evolve in response to changing technologies, societal needs and client expectations, and the future of our profession depends on leaders who are prepared to meet those challenges with creativity, curiosity and purpose,” said Khoi Vo, president and chief executive officer, ASID. “This year’s Ones to Watch recipients represent the breadth of talent, innovation and leadership shaping our industry. Their accomplishments demonstrate the impact emerging professionals are making across every sector of design and ASID is proud to recognize and support their continued growth.”
