STREAMLINED
Mydoma Studio is a project management and client collaboration software built by interior designers for interior designers. In 2015, Sarah Daniele, launched an online portal for interior design professionals to collaborate with clients, manage projects and run their businesses. Her goal was to create simple software for designers to streamline the design process.
This year, the latest version of Mydoma Studio software rolled out to interiors designers in 30+ countries. “We’ve built solutions that allow design professionals to more effectively manage their daily tasks, so that they can have more time to do the parts of their jobs that they love and do them even better,” explains Sarah.
Users of the newest version of the software will experience an improved look and feel, with an overall cleaner aesthetic. The most notable change is the option to customize user roles. Those interested in checking out the new version of the software can learn more at mydomastudio.com or sign up for a 30-day free trial.
