My 🩷 Project & Data Management app!

Why I love SmartSuite

After much trial and error with SOOO many Project management apps, my team and I landed on SmartSuite as our clear favorite. There are many on the market to choose from and if you're already using another....AND YOU & YOUR DESIGN TEAM ACTUALLY USE IT, then by all means stay with it! If however you are looking for a place to manage EVERYTHING in your firm (from data to people to sales to projects) then I encourage you to check this out! A good management tool needs to be:

  • Easy to use
  • Be visually pleasing
  • Be able to link to your other tools

SmartSuite does all this...

Reach out if you have any questions. I'm happy to meet share what I've learned in my Interior Design business journey.

Another essential in my toolkit

Anyone who works with me will know what a fan of Milanote I am! It's an app that ticks all the boxes for me and my firm because we use it in so many ways.

  • As a tool to map out our systems and process
  • As a custom portal for my clients
  • For Moodboards that allow easy collaboration and links to all our selections
  • To organize any ideas and projects in a simple to use and visual way

You must check it out!

You Need A Budget Logo

You Need A Budget

Every business big or small should have a bookkeeper to track finances, but every business owner (for that matter everyone) should have a budget. What's the difference? A bookkeeper records what has happened and budget lets you PLAN FOR THE FUTURE.

Harvest Logo

Harvest - Timesheets & Invoicing

If you take (or plan on taking) retainers or deposit payments that are applied at a later date - then this is the only tool I found that does this effectively. The team also loves that they can see how much time remains on a project and I love the seamless integration with Quickbooks


📢

Typeform Logo

Typeform - Online Surveys

  • Onboarding Questionnaires
  • Programming Surveys
  • Client Feedback

Just a few of the ways we use this. The conditional logic and recall feature make this a best in class - and it looks good too!


Later logo with "seamless social marketing" text

Later - Social Media Scheduling

One of my favourite features is its seamless integration with Canva. Together they make creating and scheduling contact a breeze!

Moo Logo

Moo - Printing

The easiest and most cost-effective way I found to make BEAUTIFIL on brand printed materials like our amazing business cards - super thick and feel like velvet - everyone says WOW! 

Some (but not all) of these are affiliate links that pay me a commission and in most cases give you a discount. A win-win!

Feel free to message me with any questions about these or other tools.
