The ANDYZ were created in 2015 to recognize exceptional design from designers and design firms. In 2022, interior design projects in residential, commercial and hospitality categories from any region will be judged anonymously based on five main criteria – presentation, innovation/creative use of space, scale and functionality, aesthetics and overall execution. A panel of professional and award-winning ASID designers and board members, as well as editors from 2022 media sponsor, Furniture, Lighting and Décor, will adjudicate.
The 2021 ANDYZ winners were: Marcio Decker of Aspen Leaf Interiors for Best Bathroom Design and Best Custom Product; Stacey Jardine of Design West Architects for Best Commercial Design; Elena Solodovnikova of ML Decor for Best Hospitality Design; Dezirae Janowicz of Maverick Design + Wedgewood Homes for Best Individual Residential Design; Kristin Calderon of The Idea Room for Best Kitchen Design; Yanina & Ryan Allord of RADstudio for Best Multiple Residential Design; Donna Moss of Donna Moss Designs and Kimberly Joi McDonald of Designing JOI both for Best Outdoor Design; Lauren O’Conner of Sanctuary Design for Best Showroom Design; and Alex Tsung, Fresno State University student, for Best Student Design.
