Why should you/your team's project management/operations system be 'off-the-rack' and lack a personality, when the goods and services you offer don't? With a 'real' office, you can spend so much time and money hiring an interior designer, picking out the paint colour and buying the right equipment, to make it 'feel like you', so you want to go in every day. Why wouldn't you do the same for your digital workspace?
I take that same care and attention to detail to build you a virtual office that will give you the same confidence every time you open it up. IāIl translate your gather your requirements to design bespoke digital workspaces (experiences) around your workflows, that are beautiful & functional. Better yet, I'll brand them with your colours/imagery/style to make it feel like "you".

The Notion Blueprint
The Notion Blueprint
150+ clients later, I found the information needed to build a sustainable, intentional and connected Notion workspace was the same. For building a Notion workspace/virtual office, I have developed a foolproof methodology that I have coined The Notion Blueprint An architect for a house would never start building without a thorough assessment of the environmental conditions, communal requirements and mapping out the floor-plans. The Notion Blueprint works in the same way. The Notion Blueprint takes everything into account, from permission groups and templates, to colour scheme and visual design

After completing part one, you can follow the plug-and-play instructions in your Blueprint to complete the rest of your build independently, partially-independently (add on coaching or VIP days for support) or on a project-based agreement completed by The Notion Bar.

Mini-Builds
Don't need a full āVirtual Officeā?
I can still help you with some of these mini-builds built inside Notion: onboarding flows, SOPs & Wikis, presentations & decks, investor portals, clean up existing workflows, client portals + more. For revenue-generating template design, read more about my template design partnerships For āmini-buildsā, I recommend booking a VIP day where we will chat collaboratively about the assignment and leave time for the independent build. Depending on whatās needed, you may need multiple VIP days, or it may work best as a project-based arrangement, however the initial VIP Day will be the best chance at generating a fast turnaround and establishing the best approach forward. Please bring any relevant documentation to the session
