Struggling to make your design process stick? At Programa, in collaboration with The Design Coach, we understand the challenges of implementing a consistent process in interior design projects. Our article delves into the importance of a reliable process and offers practical tips to ensure its successful implementation.

In the dynamic world of design, external influences such as clients, collaborators, and trades often disrupt the flow of a project. However, maintaining a structured process is crucial for delivering consistent results. Our insights shed light on the benefits of operating with a steadfast process, emphasizing the value it brings to both designers and clients alike.

Drawing from years of experience, we explore the journey from an "organic" approach to a meticulously documented and implemented process. Our founder shares personal anecdotes and key learnings, highlighting the pitfalls of a reactive workflow and the transformative power of a structured methodology.
