Five ways to bring AI into your studio.

Every offering is built for interior design firms, not tech teams. Whether you want a full AI onboarding for your studio, a ready-made skills library, a peer community, or a personalized roadmap, here is where each path starts.

The Main Offering

AI Onboarding for Interior Design Firms

A six-part system designed around how design studios actually operate. We learn your voice, build your tools, train your team, and document the systems that hold it all together. Nothing off-the-shelf. Nothing that sounds like AI.

What your firm walks away with

Real deliverables. Not just training.

Every onboarding produces tangible assets your firm keeps and uses every day — not just a set of tips or a training recording.

01

Brand DNA Playbook

A documented reference that captures how your firm sounds, writes, and communicates. Every AI tool is trained against this file.

02

Custom AI Tool Suite

A tailored set of AI assistants built specifically for your firm's highest-impact workflows. Tested and handed off.

03

Role-Trained Team

Every team member trained on the tools that fit their role, with practical examples from their actual day-to-day work.

04

Documented Systems

Workflows, standards, and internal knowledge captured in one place so your firm stops running out of people's heads.

The Onboarding Process

How we actually build this with your firm.

Every tool we build comes after we know your voice, your workflow, and where the real friction lives. That's what separates AI that gets used every day from AI that gets abandoned after a week.

"Most of our clients come to us having tried AI on their own and gotten nowhere. Six weeks later, their team is using it every day."

We build at a pace your firm can absorb. Principals, leads, and assistants each get their own training path, and nothing gets handed off until it's been tested.

01

Foundation Audit

We start by understanding your business — collecting brand documents, reviewing communications, and mapping your team's structure and workflows before we recommend a single tool.

02

Brand DNA Development

Your Brand DNA Playbook documents how your firm communicates in writing, in tone, and in standards. This becomes the source of truth every custom tool is trained against.

03

Custom Tool Build

We build your AI suite using your Brand DNA as the guide. First builds focus on the highest-impact wins for your firm — the work eating the most team hours right now.

04

Team Training & Rollout

Every team member learns how to use their tools in a way that fits their specific role. Principals, leads, and assistants each get their own training path.

05

Ongoing Support & Expansion

AI moves fast. We stay with you through refinements, new builds, and the next layer of automation when you're ready. This is a partnership, not a drop-off.

The Shift

What changes inside your studio after onboarding.

Every firm starts somewhere similar. Here's what the road looks like on the other side.

Before · Most design firms

AI gets tried, then abandoned.

  • Knowledge lives in one designer's head and slows everyone down when they're unavailable.
  • Proposals, emails, and scopes sound different depending on who wrote them.
  • Repetitive admin eats hours every week that should be going to design.
  • The team has tried ChatGPT but outputs feel generic and nobody uses it regularly.
  • Workflows are ad-hoc and new hires take months to learn how things get done.
After · Your firm

AI is built in, and used every day.

  • How your firm operates is documented, accessible, and teachable to anyone on the team.
  • Every client-facing output sounds like your firm, with one consistent voice across the team.
  • Custom tools handle the repetitive work so designers focus on the design itself.
  • Each team member has AI tools trained for their role, and opens them daily.
  • Systems are clear, standards are shared, and new hires ramp up in a fraction of the time.
The Six Services

The full scope of what we build and support.

Every engagement is tailored, but the framework is consistent. These are the six services that make up a complete AI onboarding for a design firm.

Service 01

Brand Voice & AI Onboarding

The foundation every other AI tool rests on. Get this wrong and every output sounds generic. Get this right and your tools become a real extension of your team.

Before we build anything, we learn how your firm actually sounds, writes, and communicates. This is the foundation every other AI tool rests on. Get this wrong and every proposal, email, and document that comes out of your AI suite will sound generic. Get this right and your tools become a real extension of your team.

We review your emails, proposals, client communication, website copy, and internal documents. We map your tone, your phrases, your standards, and your firm's point of view. That research becomes your Brand DNA Playbook — a single reference document every future AI tool is trained against.

What you get

  • Full brand voice analysis across emails, proposals, and documents
  • Your firm's Brand DNA Playbook, documented and delivered
  • Communication audit: where messaging is inconsistent, where voice is strong
  • The foundation file we use to build every custom tool in your suite

Custom AI Tool Suite

A tailored set of AI assistants built specifically for your firm. Nothing generic. Nothing off-the-shelf.

A tailored set of AI assistants built specifically for your firm. Each one is trained on your Brand DNA Playbook, designed around a real workflow in your studio, and tested before we hand it over. Nothing generic. Nothing off-the-shelf.

We start with the highest-impact tools for your team — the work eating the most time right now — and expand from there as your firm grows comfortable with the system.

Examples of what we build

  • Email GPTs that sound like the specific designer writing them
  • Proposal and budgeting assistants built around your scope templates
  • Client communication tools for installs, selections, and follow-ups
  • HR and operations GPTs for hiring, onboarding, and documentation
  • Blog and social writers built on your firm's actual voice
  • Sourcing and vendor communication tools tied to your approved list
  • Documentation and scope-writing assistants

Team Training

Your team leaves each session with tools they can open tomorrow morning and use on real work. No tech jargon. No abstract theory.

Every person on your team uses AI differently — because their work is different. A principal designer communicating with a client needs something different than a design assistant pulling specs. That's why we train every role separately, with examples that come straight from their actual day.

Training is always clear, practical, and real-world. No tech jargon. No abstract theory. Your team leaves each session with tools they can open tomorrow morning and use on real work.

What we train on

  • ChatGPT and your firm's Custom GPT suite
  • Midjourney for concept development and visual ideation
  • Prome AI, Nano Banana, and Google Mixboard for design visualization
  • AI research tools for sourcing, spec work, and client prep
  • Role-specific workflows for principals, lead designers, and assistants

Workflow Strategy

The goal is not to bolt AI onto a broken process. The goal is a clean, consistent system your team can actually follow.

Before we automate anything, we map it. We walk your process from inquiry to install, find where time and consistency are being lost, and build a plan to fix it. Sometimes the answer is AI. Sometimes it's a cleaner system, a better template, or a smaller team-wide standard. We'll always tell you which — and why.

The goal is not to bolt AI onto a broken process. The goal is a clean, consistent system your team can actually follow — with AI supporting the steps where it genuinely helps.

Where this shows up

  • Simplified client communication workflows
  • Streamlined proposals, scopes, and budget templates
  • Improved documentation and internal knowledge capture
  • Team-wide standards and file organization
  • Removing the bottlenecks that always land on the principal

Automation & AI Agents

The behind-the-scenes systems that remove repetitive work from your team's day entirely.

Once your systems are clean and your custom tools are in place, we build automations that handle entire multi-step workflows in the background. These are the behind-the-scenes systems that remove repetitive work from your team's day entirely.

We identify the best opportunities during your discovery phase, then coordinate the build with our development partners so you don't have to manage any of the technical side.

Common automations

  • Client onboarding flows that run themselves
  • Weekly update and status-report systems
  • Duplicated data entry and file-routing automations
  • Follow-ups, reminders, and vendor coordination
  • File organization across your project management stack

SEO + AEO Optimization

The way clients find firms is changing. Traditional search still matters. AI-answer visibility is the new frontier.

The way clients find firms is changing. Traditional Google search still matters, but more and more people are asking ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers for recommendations — and if your firm isn't showing up in those answers, you're invisible to an entire wave of future clients.

We optimize your website for both at once: clear, search-friendly content for Google and AI-readable structure for the answer engines. Your voice stays intact; your findability grows.

What we optimize

  • Homepage, services, and portfolio content for clarity and keywords
  • AEO structure so AI search engines can cite your firm accurately
  • Blog and FAQ content designed around real client questions
  • Consistent brand voice across every page of your site

Most of our clients come to us having tried AI on their own and gotten nowhere. Six weeks later, their team is using it every day and wondering how they ever worked without it.

Frequently Asked

Questions before you start.

No. The tools we build are designed for designers, not developers. We handle the technical setup and build everything around how your team already works.

Most firms complete the foundation work (Brand DNA, initial tools, and first team training) in four to six weeks. Custom tool builds and role-specific training roll out over the following weeks. We build at a pace your firm can absorb, so nobody feels rushed or overwhelmed.

Every tool we build is trained on your firm's actual voice — your proposals, emails, and communication patterns. The result sounds like your firm wrote it, not like a template.

Yes. We provide role-specific training for every person on your team — from the principal designer to the junior assistant. Everyone learns how AI fits their specific daily work.
