Below I share with you the tools and systems I use to run my business that enabled me to implement a great experience for my clients and also for me as a designer and studio owner.

I always get so many compliments about the experience I deliver to my clients

the secret is in the systems and tools!

business tools

dubsado*

The central part of my systems and probably the most important. This CRM takes care of my proposals, call scheduling, contracts, invoices and more. The workflows allow me to sit back and relax as I know everything is running smoothly.

notion

I started using Notion recently to host my client portal and the feedback has been super positive. I use the Free plan and is more than enough for all my needs.

ellie

This application is incredibly straightforward, allowing me to easily list my tasks and allocate them to specific weekdays. Planning plays a crucial role in my business, and gaining this comprehensive view of my workload truly brings me a sense of tranquility.

Showit*

The website platform I use to design and develop my client's websites. It's AMAZING!! And so easy for clients to manage after we work together!

flodesk*

To write the most beautiful newsletters, checkouts and forms, super easy to set up and integrate with your website.

thrivecart*

Create high-converting cart pages, funnels, affiliate campaigns, courses and more. The best part is that is a one-payment to get you a lifetime plan. 

design, content creation

adobe*

Adobe software is the industry standard for all creatives. My top favourites are Adobe Illustrator for design work, photoshop for mockups, XD for wireframes and presentations.

canva

The most used tool when it comes to visual content creation, social media and marketing materials. Easy to use and with so many cool funcionalities.

procreate

Procreate is an award-winning illustration, sketching, and painting app made exclusively for the iPad and iPhone. I use it mostly to hand draw brand elements and create brand textures and unique backgrounds. 

*I only recommend tools that I use and believe add value to business. As a result, some of the links provided are affiliate links, meaning I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you if you decide to use them.

logo package extension*

Logo Package Express is the Adobe Illustrator extension that automatically generates and exports logos at light speed. Completely transformed my process and saved so much time.

logo package swatch extension*

Logo Package Swatch is the Adobe Illustrator extension that converts colors and collects formulas so you don’t have to. All in a quick simple click!

personal, mindset, finances

the head plan*

Setting goals is a huge part of my studio and personal success and I couldn't do it without the help of the productivity, gratitude and finance journals.

YNAB*

I have used it since 2013 and it's been a game-changer! I'm able to budget, and track finances, and savings easily. A game-changer!
