About Programa

Programa is a fast-growing venture-backed startup building the operating system for the design industry. Founded in 2020 out of Melbourne, Australia, our platform is purpose-built for interior designers and architects, replacing spreadsheets, PDFs, platform-switching, and scattered approvals with live tools that support every stage of a project.

Working across two verticals, Programa bridges designers and project stakeholders to centralise the entire conversation around design delivery. Studios use it to manage specifications, schedules, project tasks, and client communication - all in one place. It’s how the design industry moves faster, with more clarity and less chaos.
