Lauded as "one of the most influential advocates for the interior
design industry," 2011 marked Cindy Allen’s ten-year
anniversary as the editor in chief of Interior Design. Since her
editorship in 2001, Allen has established herself as a force in
elevating the publication’s importance and exposure strengthening
its credentials as the main ambassador of design while proving it
the vehicle of growth and success for the industry it
represents.
Allen is an industry champion, promoting both the giants of design
and the rising stars. A self-proclaimed design junkie, she brings
an unbridled passion for design to the pages of the magazine each
month, offering a unique view into design and personal connections

she actively participates in a variety of panels, juries,
roundtables, speaking engagements, and industry events
worldwide.

New York School of Interior Design. Recipient of the 2010 Circle of
Excellence Award from IFDA and the 2009 Alpha Award by Alpha
Workshops, Allen has served as juror for the Cooper Hewitt National
