My Fav Tool in the Studio
Work smart – not hard, that’s my mantra. In this techno world, we live in, there’s an app for everything, which makes things a lot easier.

We live in a world where there is an app for everything, which makes things a lot easier.
Here are some of my favourite apps & software
For me, I’ve been in business for nearly 3 years now, and I’ve played around with what works best for me and these are my favs.
ONE
Calendar, I couldn’t live without one, I know it’s such an obvious one. But My calendar balances both my work and personal obligations so that at a glance, I know what’s due, what’s starting, and who I have a coffee date with.
TWO
Google Drive and Forms, I have forms that most of my clients fill in, and it helps me endlessly that they’re all in the same place. I use google drive extensively to store artworks for clients.
THREE
Notion: this is the best thing for me for design, it’s a personalised client portal that helps me manage brand designs.
FOUR
Pintrest is a search engine, and not social media. It’s a powerful tool to make us of, especially if you’re a content creator as there’s a much longer shelf life of your content. Instagram and Facebook have a 24hr shelf life, more or less whereas people can spend months interacting with the content you’ve posted/
FIVE
Pic-Time: I use this as my gallery for sending images through to clients and I love it, it’s so beautiful and minimal.
SIX
Planoly: I plan, write, design, and schedule all my own content, and I love Planoly, I’ve been using it for years and couldn’t do my social media without it.
SEVEN
Clockify: the name says it all, this is how I track my time on projects for billing, this helps me ensure billing is correct and also helped me to get to know how long things take me.
EIGHT
Loom: I love this app for recording a walk-through of branding and packaging deliverables. It not only brings in that personal touch but helps my clients get a deeper understanding of the directions.
NINE
FloDesk Email marketing is the best and most authentic way to reach and talk to your people! It has a much higher ROI, so start with that mailing list!
