Tools & Resources

Why the Right Tools Matter
The right tools do more than make work easier. They make creativity flow. As a freelance web designer I switch between many roles: designer, project manager, client communicator, and problem solver. That is why I carefully choose tools that support both my workflow and my peace of mind. Figma is where I design. It makes it simple to collaborate, keep components organized, and share work without endless email threads.
My Core Tools
For project tracking I use Notion. It holds everything from mood boards to timelines. Loom helps me explain designs to clients in a clear way, even when we cannot meet live. Clockify helps me manage time without stress. For contracts and invoices I use Dubsado, which automates the business side so I can focus on design. None of these tools are magic alone, but together they create a steady, enjoyable process.
More Time Creating, Less Time Managing
The best thing about a reliable system is peace of mind. With the right setup I spend less energy on logistics and more energy on creating meaningful experiences. Tools cannot replace skill, but they can raise the quality of the process and help me deliver my best work every time.
Building My Own System
Over time I have shaped a toolkit that fits the way I work, think, and create. It feels like building my own digital studio where every tool is a piece of furniture.
When the system flows, I do my best work. And that allows clients to do theirs.
