Hi, I’m Cassandra, an NYC interior designer. When AI took off, most tools aimed to replace designers — not empower us. I didn’t need AI to take over my job; I needed it to handle the admin work so I could actually design.
Like many in the industry, we’re a small team where every saved hour matters. I spent too much time on client presentations, budget updates, approvals, supplier emails, tracking deliveries, returns, and project timelines — leaving little room for real design.
That’s why I built Casa. Now, AI handles the busywork, freeing me to focus on creativity. I walk into client meetings fully prepared, projects stay on budget, and my business has never run smoother. Casa is built by designers, for designers — so we can spend more time creating, not managing spreadsheets.
Stay organized with Casa, built for designers like you.
