Interior design projects often start with creative energy—a mood board, a vision, a client excited about what’s to come. But between concept and completion, the path is rarely linear. Designers juggle product specs, floorplans, vendor updates, contractor communication, and client expectations, all while trying to stay focused on the design itself.
The secret to bridging the gap between vision and execution? A centralized system that keeps everyone—clients, contractors, trades, and your own team—on the same page.
That’s where Digs comes in.
The Organization Gap in Interior Design
For many designers, organization happens across a patchwork of tools: Dropbox for floorplans, Google Docs for specs, email chains for client feedback, and text messages for trade coordination. It works—until it doesn’t.
Here’s what that can lead to:
- Builders working off outdated documents
- Long email threads trying to confirm tile selections
- Redundant questions from vendors
- Missed updates or changes during fast-paced installs
Designers spend more time chasing information than designing. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Why Centralization Matters (and Works)
Digs brings everything—floorplans, product details, mood boards, specs, and selections—into one living hub. The platform acts as a single source of truth, so your team and all collaborators are referencing the most up-to-date information at all times.
One experienced interior designer, Shannon Ponciano of House of Ponce, described it this way:
“It’s a relief not having to resend documents or chase builders for confirmation. Everyone knows where to go—Digs becomes the project’s source of truth.”
That one shift—getting everyone aligned on one platform—resulted in her team avoiding 3–5 errors per project. Multiply that by the cost of rework, and the value becomes clear.
Save Time with Smarter Search
Ever spent 20 minutes digging through folders to find which kitchen faucet your client chose? Or whether the powder room was supposed to have polished nickel or matte black hardware?
Digs solves that with AskDigs, an AI-powered assistant that finds answers instantly. Just type in a question—“What tile did we select for the guest bath?”—and it pulls up the exact file or product detail.
From Shannon’s experience:
“AskDigs has saved us 5–10 hours a week by eliminating time spent searching for documents.”
That’s a full workday each month reclaimed—time you can spend designing, not searching.
Cut the Noise (Without Losing Control)
Another huge benefit of organizing your project in Digs? You empower trades and vendors to self-serve.
Instead of fielding the same questions repeatedly—“What’s the cabinet color again?” or “Is the pendant spec final?”—you can point collaborators directly to Digs.
“We’ve shifted the dynamic with vendors,” Shannon shared. “Instead of endless emails, we tell them to check Digs.”
This shift not only saves time, it builds accountability. Everyone is working from the same information, which minimizes the risk of miscommunication and ensures consistency from start to finish.
Impress Clients with Transparent Collaboration
Clients love being involved in the design process—but they also crave clarity. With Digs, they can see the same real-time updates as the rest of the team. No more scrolling back through email attachments or trying to remember which mood board was approved.
This transparent, collaborative approach increases client confidence and sets your firm apart.
“Clients especially love having access to all the selections and specs in one place. It makes them feel involved and eases the handoff at the end,” said Shannon.
The Bottom Line: Better Systems, Better Projects
When you streamline the backend, you free up space to do what you love—create. Designers who use Digs report:
✅ Saving 5–10 hours per week on admin tasks
✅ Reducing costly errors from outdated information
✅ Cutting down vendor and contractor miscommunication

Whether you’re designing a single-room refresh or managing a new build from the ground up, staying organized is essential. With Digs, you can keep your entire project team aligned, your client in the loop, and your vision intact—from mood board to final install.
