Curio is the designer-led source of truth for interior design projects—one connected record where selections, specifications, presentations, budgets, approvals, procurement, changes and closeout live together.
It exists because design information is fragmented. The same project is rebuilt across email, spreadsheets, quotes and portals that never agree. When the record is scattered, approvals blur, procurement drifts from the design intent, and closeout becomes an afterthought. Curio replaces that fragmentation with one live record.
The designer remains in control. Curio advises; the designer authorizes every consequential action. The client participates clearly—approving selections, reviewing changes and following the project through a clean, premium portal. AI supports organization and attention; it does not replace professional judgment.
Approvals, procurement, change tracking and closeout belong in the same record because they are one continuous workflow: a decision becomes an approval, an approval becomes an order, a change is traced, and the finished project becomes a reference the client can actually use.
Privacy and authorization are built in. Client and contractor views are separated from the internal project record. Studio costs, internal notes and financial logic stay out of external-facing spec books and portals. Public links can be revoked and set to expire.
Curio is in Early Access, being shaped alongside working designers, who get priority input into what we build next.
