The shortcut to finding the best professionals
for your team, without cutting corners.
Interior Design Assistants + Drafting Services
Integrate a remote team into your firm and avoid the nuances of traditional hiring and freelancing. From Construction Documents (yes, even drafting services) to Interior Design, 3D Renderings, and Graphic Design support, outsource to a dedicated team on a 3, 6, or 12-month basis. Here at Studio Collaboration, the hiring, training, and oversight are thoughtfully taken care of and managed on your behalf.
See How It Works
For Interior Designers & Architects
Refine your client experience and technical offerings with a built-in team. We partner with solopreneurs and small firms to provide a seamless outsourcing solution with ready-to-hire interior design assistants and other key professionals for your team.
We keep things simple too — you’re hiring our studio, not a myriad of freelancers or unqualified VAs. With just one company, one contract, and one monthly invoice (and did we mention done-for-you team onboarding, oversight, and no additional software fees?), you’ll be able to offer a full set of in-house services. This makes it not only possible, but realistic to compete with larger agencies that don’t rely on freelancers.
OUR SECRET? WE DON’T RELY ON FREELANCERS EITHER. THESE PROFESSIONALS HAVE BEEN VETTED TO JOIN OUR TEAM, AND SOON JOIN YOURS.
LOOK FORWARD TO
Easily Competing
With larger firms, confidently bid for that next project with a qualified team of professionals at your side.
Staying Focused
On the big picture and the work you enjoy while the technical tasks are taken care of with finesse.
Steering Clear of Hiring Hassles
Given that the right members have already been interviewed and trained, available for short or long-term placement without tax and insurance complexities.
Meanwhile, You’ll Avoid
With no time off and a personal life that gets pushed to the back-burner (and let’s be honest, when you do take time to yourself, it’s hard to stay present).
Too many tasks, not enough time, and a heightened level of technical expectations make it impossible for just about anyone to feel well-rounded or on time.
Outsourcing to virtual assistants just to find yourself having to re-do the task on your own, and losing money with each minute.
This is where we, or rather, your team come in

You shouldn’t be this stressed out.
We get it. That dream of working solo and having more time off has turned into a life with no time off at all. Your “team of one” has become exhausting. There’s no time to travel and relax because you’re consumed by task after task, email after email. And it’s burning you out.
But, you don’t quite want to burn down your business. You simply want to feel passionate again. To start each project with excitement and breathing room — instead of feeling significantly overwhelmed and overworked.

Founder / Lifelong Traveler / Designer
Meet Mercedes.
Originally from El Salvador, Mercedes has spent more than 20 years immersed in the worlds of architecture and interior design. She brings a richly insightful and international perspective — along with a beautiful accent — to her work. While focused on design consulting and real estate flipping, she learned quickly that it is not sustainable to work night after night and weekend after weekend with no end in sight (and no time for actual sightseeing). So, she hired her first virtual assistant. This provided some relief, but it felt like she needed a team to complete the seemingly infinite tasks that come with scaling a business and wowing clients.

She founded Studio Collaboration to serve as that solution — the bridge (and boost) from solopreneur to team-supported firms that wow clients with impeccable work. She wants to help other designers scale their businesses without being tied down. To give you the freedom to spend three months on the coast of Turkey, to explore deeper, and have time for finding inspiration while your remote team gives your business solid roots.

YOU’RE NOT JUST A DESIGNER OR AN ARCHITECT.
You’re A Human Being Who Needs Space For The Creativity Necessary To Build Something Unique And Memorable, At Work And In Your Personal Life.
When the tasks of creating floor plans, elevations, visual boards, 3D renderings, and design presentations, among countless other time-consuming to-dos, it can be hard to find any time to truly enjoy the work or to have just an hour or a day to yourself.
Then, unsurprisingly, your marketing or your contractor management and client follow-ups get left in the dust which goes against everything you’re actually trying to do.
She founded Studio Collaboration to serve as that solution — the bridge (and boost) from solopreneur to team-supported firms that wow clients with impeccable work.

Just So You Know
POwerful Tech

Tracking
Supported By Powerful Tech + Tracking For Peace Of Mind
Every single person on your remote team will have access to high-performance computers so their work isn’t delayed by outdated technology that can’t keep up. And, if you ever wonder what they’re spending their time on, you can request a full report. (This is also a great time to mention that we fully secure and store all files in the cloud for access anytime, anywhere.)
QUESTIONS
What length of contract is best?
Ideally, you’ll choose the contract length that is closest to the estimated completion of your next project. If you know you have enough work for a 6-month project, then hiring our team on a 6-month basis is perfect. (Yes, you can always ask to extend or renew your contract if you need more time!)
What kind of drafting services are available?
We offer both architectural and interior design drafting services for a comprehensive set of construction document needs. 2D and 3D rendering, floorplans, elevations, built-in details, etc. Our team can take this off of your plate.
What interior design services are offered?
With our team of remote interior design assistants, everything is accessible — design presentations, mood boards, sourcing, material selection, FF&E/FF&A, furniture specs, schedules, sample ordering, mockups, revisions, etc.
About our remote interior design assistants + more
What about slow seasons?
This is what Studio Collaboration is designed for — to help you avoid slow seasons and provide flexibility with a team that is ready for when your slow period speeds up again. If, for whatever reason, you’re still working with Studio Collaboration during a contracted period and come up with lighter work — there is always more that can be done to get ahead. Ask your team to help with case studies and portfolio mockups, and ultimately get ready for when time isn’t as freely available. If your tier includes Graphic Design, work with them to generate more marketing visuals and keep your brand fresh.
What kind of supervision is available for the remote team?
We track everything and can provide reports so you know exactly what your team is working on at any given time.
What if I’m not satisfied with the service?
We’re confident you’ll love the results! But if for any reason you're not completely happy with your experience within 14 days, we’ll offer a full refund and cancel the contract. We’d also love your feedback to help us improve, but no questions asked — we just want to make sure you're happy.
Can I showcase my new team on my website?
While the team cannot be showcased on your website, they can be featured in client presentations and other one-on-one marketing efforts. Since our team members work across multiple studios, we prioritize clear communication to avoid any potential misrepresentation, ensuring your brand remains transparent.
