A Autodesk Case Study
Liza Kuhn Interiors, founded by designer Liza Kuhn, needed to break into hospitality after a career in high‑end residential work and was hired to design Charley St café under an aggressive timeline and strict permitting, code, lighting and brand/photography requirements. To meet these challenges, Kuhn relied on Autodesk’s AutoCAD as her primary design and documentation tool.
Using Autodesk AutoCAD, Kuhn collaborated with the project architect and contractor (using xrefs, image clipping and precise scaled renderings), updated plans in real time, and produced last‑minute sketches and elevations for construction—often a day before build. The result: Charley St opened on schedule on July 4, Kuhn expanded her firm into commercial, Instagram‑ready projects, and talks have begun for additional locations, reflecting clear time savings and faster iteration enabled by Autodesk.
