I’m your host, Anastasia Casey — and if you’ve ever felt like running the business side of your design studio is harder than the actual design work, you are not alone. That’s why I’m so excited to be joined today by Mary Beth Chau, co-founder of Materio — the first end-to-end project delivery system designed specifically for interior design and build teams. Materio brings together visual-first project management and real-time financial clarity in one connected workflow — from concept to client presentation, procurement to install. In this conversation, we’re digging into what makes Materio different from clunky legacy platforms, how it helps designers make smarter decisions faster, and what it looks like to finally have one beautiful, intuitive system that handles both the creative and the business side of your projects. If you’ve been stuck between tools that feel overly corporate, overly complicated, or just… not built for you — this episode might just change the way you run your studio. That’s why I’m genuinely excited (and proud) to introduce you to Materio.
