For interior design firms · $1M-$2M
You built a design firm. Somehow you became its project manager, bookkeeper, and procurement department.
Origin OS installs the project workflows, procurement systems, and budget scoreboards that let a design founder design again. Built by an operator who runs a design firm today.
The pattern we see at $1M-$2M revenue
Billable hours leak everywhere
Client texts at 9pm, "quick" revisions, scope that creeps room by room: none of it invoiced, all of it delivered. The margin was there at proposal. It isn’t at final invoice.
Procurement chaos
Orders across forty vendors, lead times that slip silently, damaged freight discovered at install week. Every project carries a five-figure surprise.
Every aesthetic decision routes through you
You oversee every tile, every fabric, every logistical detail, because there is no documented standard for what "your firm’s work" means without you in the room.
Why listen to us
Origin’s founder built and runs Curio Studio Interiors. This is the operating system a working design firm actually runs on, not a consultant’s theory of one.

FAQ
What interior design firms ask us
Design is creative work. Won’t systems flatten it?
Systems don’t flatten creativity; they protect it. Every hour your senior designers spend chasing freight or rebuilding a budget is an hour of design the client didn’t get. The OS systematizes the operational 60% so the creative 40% gets your firm’s full attention.
Is the interior design product library available now?
The design-firm playbook suite is in development (the real estate suite launched first). The five pillars, the Diagnostic, and every service tier apply to design firms today. Join the waitlist and you will get the design-specific library first.
What’s a realistic outcome in 90 days?
A documented project lifecycle with phase gates, a procurement tracking system with vendor SLAs, and a project-level budget scoreboard. Firms usually recover the engagement cost in caught leakage alone.
