StudioFlow — Architecture & Interior Design Operations System
Overview
StudioFlow is a portfolio project focused on designing a centralized operations system for a growing architecture and interior design studio.
The system brings client onboarding, project setup, internal handoffs, tasks, documentation, and delivery readiness into one structured workspace.
The Business Problem
As a studio grows, client and project information can become scattered across different tools and processes.
The goal was to create a clearer operational structure that would help the team:
Standardize client onboarding
Improve internal handoffs
Organize project information
Track active work and upcoming deadlines
Make recurring processes easier to follow
Create clearer visibility across operations
Workflow
New Client → Client Intake → Onboarding → Internal Handoff → Project Setup → Kickoff → Delivery Readiness → Project Delivery
System Structure
The workspace includes:
Operations Dashboard
Client Management
Project Management
Client Onboarding
Task Management
SOPs
Automation Map
Operational views and navigation
Approach
I approached the project from the business process first rather than starting with the tool.
Business Problem → Requirements → Workflow → System Architecture → Documentation → Improvement Opportunities
The result is a structured operating system designed around the studio's workflow rather than a generic workspace template.
Project Type
Portfolio / Demonstration Project
Created to demonstrate Business Systems, Operations, Workflow Design, and Notion implementation capabilities.

My husband and I run a small two-person studio, working together on Framer and Webflow projects.
Alongside our individual portfolios, we’re also bringing our shared projects together into case studies. There’s a bit of catching up to do, so we’ll be sharing more of that work here as we go.
Here’s one of them: Gravitation, a fitness studio website concept.

Love that you're turning the shared work into proper case studies. Writing them up is the part most small studios never get round to. How do you two split a project: one designs and one builds, or do you both do a bit of everything?
I shouldn't have been able to make this from my desk. 👁️🗨️
Game is entirely rewritten. How are you leveraging next-gen tools in your freelance stack?
Cinematic!
Another project from our two-person studio, this time a website concept for a personal growth mentor.
A different feel from the fitness project: editorial typography, a quieter layout, and bright accents. The focus here was on making the mentoring services easy to explore, with clear information about the available formats and what to expect from a first session.
My husband and I are gradually bringing our shared work together, so I’ll be sharing more of these projects alongside my research and audit cases.
