About The Streamlined Creative
You’re tired of promising a 6-week timeline for website projects and never being able to stick to it.
You’re tired of promising
a 6-week timeline for website projects and never being able to stick to it.
^^Maybe you don’t even share timelines with clients?
YOU’RE NOT ALONE IN THIS
Whether you’re setting ambitious timelines only to miss them repeatedly. Or avoid sharing timelines with clients all together to dodge the pressure.
Extended timelines and scopes are the no 1 struggle with brand and website design projects.

Extended timelines and scopes are the no 1 struggle with brand and website design projects.
You might find yourself:
Feeling stressed by constant delays: Each project seems to take longer than expected, causing a ripple effect on all your other work.
Getting exhausted from constant scope creep: Clients keep changing their requirements, and without a clear process, it’s hard to get paid for the extra work.
Constantly questioning your processes: You’re tired of those nail-biting moments when you're not quite sure if you've covered all the bases during client onboarding.
Worrying about client satisfaction: Late deliveries lead to unhappy clients and fewer referrals, impacting your business growth.
But it doesn't have to be this way ...

Hi, I'm Stephanie
Client experience, DUBSADO & CLICkUP EXPERT REPORTING FOR DUTY
While working as a designer, I noticed that many other creatives struggled with managing projects effectively, dealing with scope creep, extended timelines, and writing the same emails again and again.
This often led to working every evening and weekend, causing burnout and preventing them from delivering a consistent and exceptional client experience.
And you don’t break a person away from having extensive hospitality experience and corporate experience in managing teams, systems, and processes, so now I help overwhelmed designers –
- Streamline their processes,
- Improve project management,
- And deliver referral-worthy client experiences.
True story: “I’m a creative at heart but also a total spreadsheet nerd.

Together, let's create a design studio that runs like clockwork and delivers a consistently exceptional client experience — in 3 simple steps.
01
YOUR UNIQUE APPROACH
This isn’t about copy-pasting what worked for me in the past.
Your design studio >> your way.
Whether you’re looking to streamline your workflows in Dubsado or ClickUp, perfect your client experience, or gain the confidence to manage your studio with ease, we start by diving into your business.
Don’t be scared, I’ve been where you are and won’t judge or rush you as we start to untangle the chaos of your current processes or systems and identify areas for improvement.
02
STREAMLINE YOUR OPERATIONS
Sure, having your business run on auto-pilot sounds great but that’s not you.
Yes, you want more time to focus on design. And yes, you want to spend less time on admin.
But you are hands-on because you truly care about your clients and want them to have an amazing and personalised experience.
Together, we’ll streamline your client-facing and back-end processes, find the right balance for you between saving time and keeping your client projects personal.
03
SHINE WITH CONFIDENCE
You do not only feel confident in yourself as a designer but also as a business owner.
You no longer start your mornings by sifting through sticky notes to remember what you need to do that day.
You quit building from scratch for every client and you have a professional, consistent and referral-worthy client experience that keeps projects within the timeline and scope.
And since you started to present your pricing, process and boundaries with confidence, clients value your expertise.

You untangle the chaos and streamline the process.
“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.
The setting up of Dashboards within ClickUp has been a huge gain. Being able to point my colleagues to a dashboard that will answer all those little questions that they keep asking me has already taken a load off. Having a new customer tell me that whilst our approach was the friendliest of all she had received, our structured work plan was also the most professional.
Stephanie is worth every single penny and more. You may think you' re working with Stephanie on one part of your business but you'll find her knowledge and insight will far out way just that one problem and solution. The little videos when I was facing something niggling between our sessions were invaluable!

“Before working together my brain was all over the place. I'm good at what I do but I'm a right-brained thinker and have been called a free spirit many times. So, the business side of things was such a struggle for me.”
The program was challenging for me, but in a way that I needed it. It took me far out of my comfort zone but I felt you were great at keeping in touch and answering my questions during and between each session and gently pushed me to stay on top of my homework. I was so appreciative of the documents you shared and the videos have been such a great help!!
Now, my confidence in managing the business side of things has been astounding! It's even helped me streamline my services and offer some new ones. I feel like I've been able to set a clear direction for my business, I'm streamlining and clarifying my service offerings, reevaluating my pricing, monitoring the business better, and it's so much more organized.

“Before working together I had created my Dubsado account but did not know how to get started with mapping out my workflows and then getting them in Dubsado. I just could not figure it out”
I used Gmail, Google Drive, Canva and Calendly to manage my client process and it felt like I was constantly winging it. I did not know what to do for which client and when I needed to do them and tasks started falling through the cracks.
There is no way I would have mapped out everything without your help. You're so clear on what needs to happen and explain how to do it inside Dubsado. I found you even more valuable than a Dubsado queen. You are an amazing business mentor! I mean how many people can support you with Dubsado setup and mentor you at the same time?
