CAPABILITY CARD · Design & Media

The Interior Designers capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 71,500 interior designers in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

Where you stand

A real market — compete on proof, not price.

Nationally, 71,500 interior designers earn a median of $67,190 a year (BLS OEWS, May 2024). In a market that size, the businesses that win the better work don't lead with the lowest number — they lead with a credible, current capability card. That's exactly what we build.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most interior designers win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
