Hello Reader,

Are you juggling the creative side of art practice with the nitty-gritty of running a business? Today, I want to share with you a tool that has completely transformed how I manage my art business: Notion.

Now, you might be thinking, "Notion? Isn't that just for taking notes?" And while it's fantastic for that, it's so much more. For me, as an artist, Notion has become the central nervous system of my entire operation. It's where I organise everything from my licensing contracts, my art, my commission tracking, social media, youtube and and even my creative ideas.

Notion has been such a game-changer. It allows me to bring all those disparate pieces together into one cohesive and, dare I say, beautiful system. And this isn't just about having everything in one place; it's about gaining clarity, saving time, and ultimately, empowering my creativity by taking the stress out of the business side.

I've just posted a YouTube video where I walk you through exactly how I've set up my Notion workspace to manage my art business. I cover everything from tracking art and pattern designs, planning social media content and managing my contacts. My goal is to show you how Notion can be a powerful and surprisingly intuitive tool to help you streamline your workflow and ultimately spend more time doing what you love: creating art.

​

Happy Organising & Creating!
