An interior design studio is getting a client app and studio backend, built on teiō's own foundation

A native iPhone app for clients and a studio backend, shaped from the studio's own UI kit, built as a branch of the teiō platform.

Unlocked
A studio that other studios can run on

The studio's clients approve mood boards, material choices and invoices across whatever channel the conversation happened to be in. The build gives clients one place to see, decide on and pay for every phase, and gives the studio a backend for projects, team, pipeline, finance and calendar. It starts from the same core teiō runs on, so the first version ships in weeks.

Why start from our codebase

The teiō operating system is split into a core (logging, access control, authentication, deployment, testing, model selection) and an application layer (CRM, proposals, delivery, finance). A customer build keeps the core and gets its own application layer. For the studio that meant the portfolio, notetaker and Ask AI came along for free, and the work went into what is unique: the client's phase-by-phase workspace and the studio's pipeline.

What ships

A SwiftUI iPhone app for clients, published under the studio's own Apple account, replacing the web client portal for project workspaces. A studio backend that follows the designer's UI kit: projects, team, pipeline, finance, growth and calendar. The password-code portfolio stays as it was.

Sixteen tasks, scoped from a kickoff call and two design exports. The studio owns the code and the app.
