Let’s be honest — running a freelance design business can feel like a mess. And no, it’s usually not the design work that’s the problem… it’s everything around it. The emails, the timelines, the feedback loops, the invoices, the “wait, where did I save that thing?” moments.

In this episode, I’m walking you through the real reason I created the Designers’ Playbook Desk — not as another Notion template, but as the system I needed to survive and actually enjoy running my business again.

This is the full story: what’s inside, how it works, and how it supports both your creative flow and your mental load. If you’re tired of holding your whole business in your head, this one’s for you.
