Curio by AGR · Early Access

The project record for interior design studios.

One project brain for every decision, dollar and deadline.

Curio keeps selections, approvals, procurement, changes and closeout in a single record the designer controls and the client approves—while studio numbers stay private.

No credit card required. Early Access designers get priority input into what we build next.

The problem

Design information lives across email, spreadsheets, screenshots, vendor quotes and client messages. When the record is fragmented, approvals blur, procurement drifts from the design intent, and details get missed.

Decisions, on the record.

Every selection, revision and client approval stays connected to one project record—so what was authorized, and what changed, is never in question.

The method

Curio is one connected project record: a single live source of truth every selection, number, approval, change and closeout detail is connected to.

1.Capture

Pull products, quotes, files and links into one project record.

2.Organize

Structure everything by project, space and item.

3.Present

Share the right view with clients, trades and vendors.

4.Approve

Record client approvals explicitly—and trace every change back to the decision.

5.Deliver

Hand off spec books and a closeout book that become a reference, not an afterthought.

Your studio’s numbers stay private.

Client and contractor views are intentionally separated from your internal project record. Studio costs, internal notes and financial logic are not included in external-facing spec books and portals. Public links can be revoked and set to expire.

  • Designer remains in control
  • Client approval is recorded with provenance
  • Changed-after-approval conditions are surfaced
  • Audience-specific views
  • Revocable and expiring public links

Studio view

  • Client price
  • Trade cost
  • Markup & margin
  • Internal notes

  • Install notes
Trade cost, markup and internal notes never leave the studio view.
Annette Guzman Ruiz — Founder & Creative Director, AGR Creative Studio

Built by a practicing designer—not repurposed from generic project software.

Curio came from running real interior design projects and rebuilding the same information across disconnected tools that never agreed.

It’s built around the actual decisions, approvals, procurement, changes and closeout behind a project. Curio supports professional judgment; the designer stays in control. AI assists with organization and attention—it does not replace the designer.
