211 | The Interior Design Software I Use to Run My Business Efficiently - Design Curious | Interior Design Career and Business Podcast | Lyssna här

If you’ve ever looked at another interior designer’s business and thought, “Maybe I just need better software,” you’re not alone.

There is always a new platform, app, or shiny software promising to make your projects run more smoothly, save you time, or help you make more profit. And with AI becoming part of almost every software platform, it can be even harder to know what you actually need.

But after years of running an interior design business, I’ve learned that software is only as effective as the systems behind it. Before you start investing in expensive platforms, you need to understand how you want your business to operate. In the early stages, especially when you have zero or one client, simple spreadsheets can be enough. They can help you learn how you like to manage projects before you invest in more sophisticated interior design software.

In this episode, I’m opening up my toolbox and walking you through the software I currently use to run my interior design business—from project management and time tracking to accounting and interior design operations, including drafting, client presentations, client intake, file management, communication, and even AI support. My goal isn’t to tell you there is one perfect software solution. Instead, I want to give you a real-world look at how these tools support my systems and workflows.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

✔️ Why strong systems matter more than software

✔️ How I use Asana for projects and time tracking

✔️ Why Studio Designer supports my design business accounting

✔️ Which software I use for drafting and presentations

✔️ How I manage clients, files, communication, and AI
