THE STUDIO STACK
A curated collection of tools, platforms, and resources I genuinely use both in my own business and with my clients. Running a creative business involves more than talent. The right systems, platforms, and structure make everything feel lighter, clearer, and easier to manage.
These are the resources I recommend most often whether you’re preparing for a new website, refining your backend, or simply trying to make your business run more smoothly.
Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means I may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. I only share tools I trust and use myself.
THE FREEBIES

My current studio stack
digital tools of the trade i can't live without
Notion
A cloud-based platform where I organise everything from client projects, website strategy, content, and business systems to my actual life!
If you like structure, you’ll love this.
Showit
My go-to platform where I design and build all of my websites on. Not only do I love it due to having complete design freedom, but it also integrates easily with Wordpress for blogging.
Canva
An online graphic design tool where I design the majority of my social media posts, client decks, presentations and website graphics. It's easy and intuitive to use with total creative freedom.
The Sales & Copy Bestie GPT
Believe me when I say that I cannot live without this in my business! it was created + trained by a copywriter I admire sooo much on ultra-specific sales psych strategies, copywriting approaches, and today's consumer trends. It can teach, consult, push back, and rewrite. Need help with all this and writing your website copy without hiring a copywriter? Grab the bestie!
Tally Forms
A modern, flexible and highly intuitive online form builder that i use myself and recommend to clients, especially in the wedding industry for building inquiry forms. It offers a generous free tier and can also be integrated into Notion!
The books that shaped how I think
from my book shelf to yours
A lot of what I believe about business comes from what I read. Not just strategy books, but anything that explores how people think, how energy moves, how decisions are made, and how reality is shaped by perception more than we realise. My shelves are full of personal development, money mindset, business, psychology, and the occasional deep dive into quantum physics because the more I learn, the more I see how everything connects. These are some of the books that influenced the way I work, create, and build.
