DesignerFlow - The Studio OS for interior design teams

by
DesignerFlow is a Studio OS for interior design teams, built from real studio workflows. It brings projects, rooms, BOQs / FF&E items, suppliers, quote requests, renderings, documents, activity and client-safe updates into one workspace — replacing the scattered mix of Excel sheets, Drive folders, WhatsApp threads, emails, PDFs and disconnected files many studios still rely on.

Hello Product Hunt — I’m Cristian, an interior designer and the founder of DesignerFlow. DesignerFlow comes from the workflow I’ve lived for years in interior design: projects split between Drive folders, Windows folders, Excel BOQs, supplier quotes, WhatsApp threads, email chains, moodboards, renderings, plans, contracts, product codes, finishes, pricing versions and client feedback. In many small and mid-size studios, the actual “operating system” is still a messy mix of spreadsheets, folders, messages, PDFs and disconnected tools. Excel becomes the BOQ. Drive becomes the archive. WhatsApp becomes the place for vendors, contractors and quick client updates. Email becomes the place where important deliverables are sent, but not always seen. When 2–3 designers work on the same project, versioning, pricing, product codes, quote requests and final decisions become even harder to keep clear. DesignerFlow is my attempt to turn that scattered workflow into one connected Studio OS for interior design teams. The MVP already brings together Project Hub, project overview, rooms, BOQs / FF&E items, suppliers, documents, renderings, activity and client-safe sharing. Some deeper tools are still in progress, but the direction is clear: one place where a studio can open a project and understand its current phase, files, items, suppliers, decisions, client-facing materials and internal structure without hunting across 100 places. I’m not claiming interior designers have no tools. There are good platforms in the space. But from my experience, many studios still rely on spreadsheets, folders, WhatsApp, email and PDFs as the real backbone of their workflow. DesignerFlow is being built to replace that with something more visual, structured and specific to how interior design teams actually work. We’re opening private preview and looking for studios willing to test DesignerFlow on one real or archived project. I’d love feedback from designers, studio owners, architects, project managers, product people and anyone who has dealt with messy project workflows.

A small note on where DesignerFlow is going next:

The MVP already covers Project Hub, project workspace, rooms, item lists / FF&E / BOQ, suppliers, documents, renderings, quote requests, activity and client presentation access.

Next, we’re focusing on making the Items Workspace even stronger: better supplier workflows, cleaner quote requests, client-facing shared lists, rendering/document feedback, and a smoother onboarding path for studios testing one real project.

The goal is simple: help interior design teams stop running projects across spreadsheets, Drive folders, WhatsApp threads, supplier emails and scattered PDFs.

Small update from our side: we’re switching DesignerFlow from a 30-day trial to a free plan.

The goal is to make it easier for solo designers and small studios to try the workflow on one project without pressure: project workspace, rooms, item lists / FF&E / BOQ, suppliers, renderings, documents and client presentation access.

DesignerFlow is still in private preview, but this feels like the right direction while we learn from early studios.
