BUY MY NOTION TEMPLATE. GET MY DONE-FOR-YOU DUBSADO SETUP. COPY MY PROVEN 6-FIGURE client project workflow.
You've seen these offers everywhere—and I get it. They're tempting.
Finding processes and systems that actually work for YOUR brain and YOUR design studio?
That's the real work.
You've probably tried implementing one (or three). Spent a weekend setting it up. Then quietly abandoned it a few weeks later because their process didn't match yours.
Their brand design process uses the one-concept method, but you work through multiple directions with clients.
Their email templates reference welcome guides and feedback forms, but you've never created those materials.
Their ClickUp setup shows "create homepage design" but not the 12 steps you need to do to achieve that.
Their Dubsado workflow assumes strict project timelines, but you don't share deadlines with clients.
Here's what those cookie-cutter templates can't account for: how YOUR brain works, what YOUR clients need, and where YOUR energy gets drained. They're built for someone else's business—not yours.
You need someone on your side who understands the challenges of the design industry. Who's helped countless designers streamline their processes with Dubsado and ClickUp, build systems that fit how they work, and protect their creative energy.
Here's the thing: there's not one perfect way to run your design studio, but if you're willing to do the work, you can find the one that works for you.
What that looks like? A design studio where you can manage multiple projects without the constant mental juggling, where tight deadlines don't automatically mean working weekends & evenings, and challenging clients don't drain all the creative energy your work depends on.

Where tight deadlines don't automatically mean working weekends & evenings, and challenging clients don't drain all the creative energy your work depends on.
Let's map your client process, build your project management systems, and get everything out of your head so you can ...
1
Stop working evenings & weekends to catch up
Stop working late nights to catch up on projects. When your processes protect your capacity instead of draining it, you can deliver beautiful work on time, without sacrificing your personal life or creative energy.
2
Manage multiple projects without the overwhelm
No more carrying timelines, deadlines, and client details in your head. Document your process once, and you'll have the mental space to serve clients thoughtfully instead of frantically trying to remember what comes next.
3
Present your pricing & process with confidence
When the delivery process for your client projects is clear and documented, pricing yourself appropriately stops feeling risky. You can articulate exactly what clients get and when, because your process backs up your value.

Together, let's create a design studio where you're actually enjoying design work again—in 3 simple steps.
01
Map how you work & where you're struggling.
Monday morning. You sit down to start a new project and spend 20 minutes figuring out whether to begin with the questionnaire or mood boards—because you've never documented what actually happens first.
We get all of that out of your head and onto paper. You'll see exactly where the chaos is coming from, what's working, and what needs to change before we touch any tools.
02
Document your process & create your templates
You're mid-project when the client emails: 'Just checking in—what happens next?' You wrote the same explanation last week. You've written it for every project for six months. From scratch because it lives in your head, not your systems.
We document your workflows and create the templates, questionnaires, and guidelines you need so clients understand your process from day one, so you stop rewriting the same emails.
03
Implement into systems that support you
New project just signed. You open ClickUp and spend 30 minutes recreating the same task list you built last month. You're changing client names, adjusting dates, and hoping you didn't forget anything this time.
We implement your documented process into Dubsado or ClickUp. Your templates handle setup in 2 minutes while you focus on the design work clients actually pay you for.
Hi, I'm Stephanie
Client experience, DUBSADO & CLICkUP EXPERT REPORTING FOR DUTY
I deeply appreciate the creative minds who keep pouring their hearts into building unique and captivating brands and websites for their clients.
Running a design studio takes more than simply being great at your craft— you’re constantly juggling project management, client demands, and endless admin tasks.
Even when deadlines loom and scope creep threatens to derail your projects, clients expect you to turn your creativity on like a lightbulb—instant, bright, and ready to dazzle. While your clients might be happy with the end result, you’re left exhausted.
That’s exactly why I started The Streamlined Creative
I didn't shift to education just to sell my old design process as a quick cash grab—I walked away from designing completely to focus on what really matters. I now dedicate my expertise to helping designers like you streamline their processes and build systems that actually work for YOUR business.
You need someone on your side who understands the frustrations of projects running out of scope and the struggles of explaining to clients that, because their favourite colour is pink, it does not mean it belongs in the colour palette for their branding. But I’m not here to teach you how I ran my design studio.
Instead, I roll up my sleeves, dig into the details with you, and develop a personalised strategy to help you build a design studio that runs seamlessly, establish more efficient processes, and leave your clients more satisfied.

don't just take my word for it
“I was struggling to understand ClickUp and how it could impact our design agency.”
I knew that I needed the longer-term investment of handholding whilst I worked through all our processes. And now I am much more confident and I am excited to put my learnings and ClickUp set-up into practice with future clients.
