––––– THE CHALLENGE
A beautiful industry deserves better tools.
Interior designers work in a world filled with extraordinary products, trusted relationships, and highly specific sourcing knowledge. But too often, that information lives across websites, showroom lists, spreadsheets, rep contacts, and memory. Vendra brings that scattered information into one organized, searchable system built for the way designers actually work.
––––– THE OPPORTUNITY
Deep experience.
A clearer way forward.
After years working inside the high-end interior design trade, Jill saw an opportunity to make sourcing more connected, more transparent, and more useful for design professionals. Vendra was created to organize the relationships behind the industry... brands, showrooms, design centers, reps, and locations... into one platform that helps designers move with clarity and confidence.
––––– THE PLATFORM
A connected
relational model
Vendra is built around the way the trade actually works. A brand is more useful when you can see where it is represented, which showrooms carry it, what categories it belongs to, and where designers can experience it in person. By connecting brands, showrooms, reps, design centers, and locations, Vendra makes sourcing more intuitive, efficient, and complete.

––––– THE VISION
The sourcing intelligence layer for the design trade
Vendra’s vision is to bring clarity, structure, and modern discovery tools to the interior design trade. Built by people who understand the workflow, Vendra is designed to become the trusted sourcing layer that connects brands, showrooms, reps, design centers, and locations into one intelligent, searchable system.

Founder, Vendra
Jill Richter founded Vendra after years inside the high-end interior design trade, where she saw how much essential sourcing knowledge lives across showroom relationships, vendor contacts, brand websites, spreadsheets, proposals, and memory.
​
Vendra grew from a simple idea: make the information designers rely on easier to find, easier to understand, and easier to use.
• Firsthand experience inside a high-end interior design firm
• Daily exposure to vendor, showroom, brand, and sourcing workflows
• Deep understanding of how designers research, organize, and specify products
• Built Vendra to bring clarity, structure, and connection to the trade

Connected,
not isolated
Brands, showrooms, reps, design centers, and locations are more powerful when they are connected. Vendra helps designers see the relationships behind the industry, not just individual names in a list.
