Finally, Focus on Design Again.

"Finally, I can focus on design again."

How real designers are using Programa to take back their time

Let's be real: no one became an interior designer because they love spreadsheets, admin, or endlessly reformatting spec sheets.

But when you're running a studio, that's often what takes up most of your day.

Thousands of designers across the States are saying "goodbye" to their old tools, and turning to Programa, the platform built by designers, for designers, to take back control of their workflow.

 


 

Build by designers, for designers

Co-founder Zoe Lowres, a former interior designer, knows the pain all too well.

"I didn't become an interior designer to spend my days battling spreadsheets. I was drowning in admin, and my duct-taped systems were only adding to the stress.

After trying every workaround and platform under the sun, I realised we needed a purpose-built solution to manage projects and product specifications.

That's why we created Programa -- a platform that streamlines project management, eases client stress, and lets designers focus on what they do best: designing"

That platform is Programa - a clean, beautifully designed system that helps you keep everything in one place without compromising your creative flow.

 

 

 


 

What designers are saying

"I've tried EVERY design management tool. Programa is by far the most elegant and thoughtfully designed."

- Beth Pilar Strongwater, Colorado

"We needed something that worked for our team and our clients. Programa gives us that all-in-one clarity."

- Annie Aldridge, North Carolina

"As a former software PM turned designer, I'm seriously impressed. The UX is clean, the support is amazing, and it covers everything I need."

- Dessa Augsburger, Ohio

 

 

Whether you're a solo designer or managing a team, Programa helps you work smarter, stay creative, and feel in control again.

 

 


 

Designed for the way you actually work

Programa was built to support your entire studio flow - from first inspiration to final spec. 

Say goodbye to spreadsheets for good

Spending hours manually building spec sheets or wrangling a messy project schedule?

Programa's #1-rated Specification tool makes it easy to create, edit, and share specs that look polished and professional, without the chaos.

Stay on top of every detail with Project Management

That post-it on your desk. The email you flagged. The spreadsheet you keep meaning to update. The group chat, full of "quick questions." We've all been there.

Programa brings all those scattered pieces together--finally giving you a clear picture of everything happening in your studio.
