WHY PAHD EXISTS
Advancing the art, business, and professionalism of holiday design
The Professional Association of Holiday Designers (PAHD) is a professional trade organization dedicated to advancing the art, business, and professionalism of holiday and seasonal design.
Through education, certification, industry partnerships, and community collaboration, PAHD supports designers at every level — helping build successful businesses while elevating industry standards worldwide.
Until now, there has been no dedicated space for holiday design professionals to connect, collaborate, and grow together. PAHD brings designers, decorators, industry partners, and the next generation of talent into one community.
Our Mission
To unite and elevate holiday designers through premier education, collaborative community, and exclusive industry partnerships — creating opportunity, credibility, and professional growth.
Our Vision
We believe in a future where holiday design is recognized and respected as a global profession — built through education, certification, collaboration, and design excellence.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for every level of the industry
PAHD holds space for both designers and decorators — the industry needs both. A designer can take a client from concept to completion. A decorator brings a design to life as part of a team.
Designers & Decorators
Whether you run your own business from concept to completion, or bring designs to life as part of a team — there's a place for you here.
Industry Partners
Wholesalers, manufacturers, commercial installers, and higher-education partners looking to connect with the design community.

The next generation of holiday designers, just breaking into the industry.
