The Challenge
For nearly three decades, Cravotta Interiors, a luxury interior design firm based in Austin, Texas, prided itself on delivering exquisite, high-quality designs. However, managing complex design projects came with its own set of challenges. Founder Mark Cravotta and his team faced constant interruptions while piecing together critical project details from multiple spreadsheets, scattered tools, and fragmented communication across the team. This process was not only inefficient but made it difficult to track project progress in real time and maintain seamless communication with clients.
The Solution
Cravotta Interiors adopted Studio Designer, an all-in-one project management and accounting platform designed specifically for interior design firms. With its robust features, the platform replaced fragmented processes and manual spreadsheets, enabling the team to consolidate everything into a single tool.
Key features like real-time project updates, item tags, color coding, and custom reports improved internal communication and provided clarity on project statuses. Studio Designer also streamlined procurement tracking and allowed the team to share professional, client-friendly reports while keeping sensitive details internal. This comprehensive solution ensured Cravotta Interiors could focus on creativity and client satisfaction without the distractions of outdated workflows.
Business Impact
Increased Collaboration
Tools like item tags, color coding, and procurement tracking fostered seamless communication across the team, ensuring everyone was on the same page.
Stronger Business Operations
From managing inventory for their Treasure Tuesdays Instagram series to organizing client projects, Studio Designer enabled the team to efficiently catalog, track, and deliver items.
Improved Efficiency

Studio Designer basically allowed us to level up our game and focus on what we do best. I can’t recommend Studio Designer highly enough.
