# MONA > MONA is the agentic operating system for interior design and architecture studios. Studios run client projects end to end inside MONA: project management, client communication, sourcing and procurement, financials, presentations, and photorealistic rendering. MONA is built by MONA Gallery, Inc. Rendering is one capability inside the system, not the definition of the product. A studio using MONA runs a project from floorplan through install in one place. MONA also publishes a public Interior Designer Directory. Homeowners browse interior designer portfolios by city and style, then contact studios directly. It is free for homeowners, and there are no lead fees for either side. ## Interior Designer Directory - [Interior Designer Directory](https://monaverse.com/interior-designers): Browse interior designers by city and style, see real portfolio work, and contact the studio directly.
