Memberships
Created by AD’s editors, AD PRO is a membership community for design professionals. AD PRO is the ultimate resource for staying up to date on new developments and trends, finding inspiration, and staying one step ahead of industry peers.
There are two tiers of AD PRO membership: AD PRO, and AD PRO Directory. Standard AD PRO membership includes exclusive access to AD PRO news, features, and trend reports, as well as a year-round events roster, online courses, a job board, and 100 years of AD archives. AD PRO Directory members enjoy the benefits of AD PRO but also have the unique opportunity to list themselves or their business as an AD-approved design professional and connect with prospective clients. An approved application is required for AD PRO Directory membership.
AD PRO Directory membership offers all of the benefits of AD PRO, plus the unique ability to appear on the AD PRO Directory. An exciting new offering from AD, the AD PRO Directory connects clients with designers they trust. This tier of membership is only available to vetted and approved designers. To apply, visit the AD PRO Directory application page.

AD PRO Directory
The AD PRO Directory is a new resource for anyone seeking to browse and connect with trusted design professionals. These designers have been approved by AD editors and can be hired for jobs ranging from full-service home renovations to one-off commissions. Interested in having your business featured? Apply here.
AD PRO Directory membership is currently only available to US-based design professionals, but will be expanding to new markets soon. Click here to register your interest.
Each application is reviewed by the AD editors to ensure the highest quality and standards. If approved to join, AD PRO Directory members pay an annual membership fee.
For professionals wishing to join the AD PRO Directory, we’ve created a simple application form that requires you to submit information about your business and images that demonstrate your portfolio of work.
The form contains three sections:
– About Your Business
– Describe Your Business
– Photos
While filling out your application, you have the ability to "save" your details in case you need to source more information, and return back to the form to complete and submit when you're ready.
Once you submit your application, it will be reviewed by the AD editors, who will either approve it, or ask for additional information or images if needed. In some instances, applications may not be right for the Directory, in which case you will be informed and your details will be kept on file should you decide to apply again in the future.
See our in-depth guide to filling out your application here.
We aim to review applications within approximately five business days.
Once your application has been approved and payment has been processed, your Directory profile should appear online within two business days.
We want to make sure your Directory profile looks as great as possible! This may require adding some additional information about your business or past professional experience, adding higher-quality images, or presenting a wider variety of work.
We want you to be able to present your work at its very best, so we're looking for crisp, clear, high-quality images that are well-lit and easily legible, and that showcase your design style. Images should provide an overview of the best of your portfolio, and present completed projects. Read more at our application guide here.
Yes, you can. Please contact [email protected] with any changes you wish to make. Please allow five business days for these changes to appear.
Please note we only allow you to edit your live Directory profile up to three times in a 12-month period.
Yes. Please email [email protected] or call 855-673-1729 (US customers) or +1-332-239-5611 (international customers) and we can reopen your application.
An individual or business can have only one application or one profile live on the AD PRO Directory at any given time.
You will need to create a new account in order to apply again—click here. Please note this will require an email address different from your existing login.
You have the option to search the Directory by category, including:
– Architecture
– Interior Design + Decor
– Outdoor + Garden Design
When viewing AD PRO Directory profiles, you will have the option to filter by location (state) and / or by profession.
You may also want to read the article “How to Hire an Interior Designer” for tips on finding the right professional for your needs.
We will use the email address associated with your account to contact you.
By submitting your application, you understand and agree that the AD editors will have editorial discretion in updating your Directory profile based on the information provided in your application.
