About the Academy

Procurement is one of the most complex and underestimated parts of running an interior design studio. Designers are often managing multiple suppliers, long lead times, client expectations and cash flow risk without a clear system in place. 

This masterclass looks at where procurement commonly breaks down and how that impacts margins, timelines and delivery. Through practical guidance and real world examples, the session explores how designers can introduce clearer processes, improve supplier management and gain greater control over purchasing, logistics and profitability.

Our goal is for you to leave knowing exactly what to do next, not with another pile of notes you’ll never use. No passive learning. No vague theory. Just real progress.
