One of the friends I have made within the last year is Veronika Miller – she and I got the chance to team up together in a design challenge recently when I was in New York and we took first place. Veronika is a globe-trotting interior designer who recently developed and launched an online design resource called Modenus. This is a free resource for architects, interior designers, homeowners, and vendors.

Here’s an excerpt from the Modenus press release:
Modenus.com – a comprehensive product catalog and project management platform for the interior design industry launched this month. The catalog portion of the site is generally open to consumers and design professionals, but verified pros have the added benefit of getting access to a collaborative project manager, pro forums and trade only information posted by manufacturers.
The resource is the brainchild of Veronika Miller, who worked as a successful Interior Designer before turning her attention to digital media. She says designers need better tools to help them work profitably and efficiently – especially now.
Speaking about the launch, Veronika Miller says:
“No one needs to tell interior designers that times are tougher. We are launching Modenus to help them make the most of challenging business conditions by offering them free tools to work more profitably, a platform from which to network with peers and meet potential clients and a curated catalog of products from the US, Europe and beyond, putting new and exciting resources at their finger tips.”
“But it’s not just about Designers. Manufacturers are entirely free to engage with consumers and designers and can set up distribution channels that best serve their business model. Manufacturers can list showrooms, retailers, E-commerce outlets and even design studios that carry their products to provide the consumer with the most sensible avenue to specify or buy.”
“But our efforts won’t stop at products. We want Modenus to be a bridge that connects designers and consumers across continents. So many design professionals are now prepared to consult virtually or to travel for a great job, why not shake the geographic restraints and use a platform like ours to find a designer, a client or a product anywhere in the world. Business isn’t what it once was but that doesn’t mean there aren’t new opportunities.”

This is an exciting design resource and regardless of your professional background, this site is made for everyone.
- Consumers will find amazing products, connect with designers and be inspired by daily design blogs.
- Design professionals will explore new global resources, network with peers, feature their work and manage projects on the site’s unique project management application.
- Manufacturers will engage with consumers and professionals in discussion forums, showcase their product collections in the curated catalog and communicate with their followers via a direct news feed to registered users who have selected to receive more information.

Congratulations to Modenus on it’s successful launch and to Veronika for creating such a great design resource and product repository.
