Deepening Our Community

DSA Pro+ Membership

Your Hub for Advanced Connection and Growth.

Our DSA Professional Designer Members inspired us to create Pro+ —a dedicated space where you can deepen relationships, access exclusive opportunities, and lead with confidence. This add-on is designed for designers ready to move beyond the foundation and immerse themselves in a thriving community built on purposeful collaboration and advanced resources.

Together, elevate your craft with confidence—and a community behind you.

“We wanted to create something truly special for our valued members—an exclusive space to connect one on one, collaborate, and grow together. Pro+ reflects our ongoing commitment to education, community, and supporting every step of your journey.”

—Natasha Younts, President, DSA

Questions? Let’s talk about it.

How do I access my membership benefits?

All standard membership benefits will be housed in the standard Professional Designer Portal. Additional app access, offers and benefits for the Pro+ Hub require separate login.

What is included in the DSA Professional Designer Membership?

The standard membership includes a verified DSA member ID, a public profile on the “Find a Designer” map, industry insights, and access to our CEU rewards program.

What additional benefits come with Pro+?

Pro+ expands your access with the DSA App for real-time member connection, virtual roundtable events, exclusive promotions from industry partners, and enhanced opportunities for engagement, insight, and leadership within the design industry.

What is the duration of my membership, and when does it expire?

The DSA Professional Designer and Pro+ memberships are each renewed annually.

How can I update my membership account’s contact information or personal details?

Please log into the dashboard to access your profile settings page to change any needed information.

Who is eligible to join as a DSA Professional Designer Member?

Designers currently working in the field and offering interior design services professionally may apply. Eligibility is based on your practice—not licensure or accreditation—making this membership accessible to a broad range of qualified professionals.

How can I join the Pro+ level membership?

Proceed to register for the DSA Professional Designer Membership. Once verified, you will be able to access the Pro+ add-on within your portal.

Can I join Pro+ without a standard membership?

No. Pro+ is an exclusive add-on and can only be accessed by active DSA Professional Designer Members.

What is the cost for each membership level?

The base DSA Professional Designer Membership is $295 annually. Pro+ is an additional $200 per year, bringing the total for both to $495 annually.

Is my membership transferable to someone else?

No, each Professional Designer and Pro+ membership is tied to your individual name and professional identity.

Can I put my membership on hold or freeze it temporarily?

We do not currently offer a hold or pause option. However, members can choose not to renew and may rejoin at any time through the standard application process.

What is the cancellation policy for my membership?

DSA memberships are non-refundable. Once activated, your benefits and access begin immediately.

Can I receive a refund for my membership dues if I change my mind?

No

If I do not renew, will I lose access to the Pro+ content and the app?

Yes. Access to Pro+ Connect benefits, including the app and related content, is tied to an active DSA Professional Designer Membership and an active Pro+ subscription.

Do I have access to member-only content, and how can I find it?

Yes, all of the resources and offers within the hub are for members only. New content is always in the works, so make sure to check in with the resource hub often.

How can I contact customer support for membership-related questions?

Our team is here to support you. Please send an email to support@dsasociety.org and we’ll be happy to assist with membership questions, technical support, or add-on guidance.

“Bringing our incredible DSA Professional Designers together in one place has been a long held wish. Pro+ Connect is that space created from listening to our members experiences and understanding the value of true connection. This is where we grow, support each other, and build something meaningful as a community. We are here with you and we hear you!”

—Emily Allen Burroughs, Director of Interior Design Education-DSA
