The Studio Desk – Business App for Freelance Designers

Description

Your client list is in your phone. The brief is in an email. The invoice is in Word, this week’s plan is on a sticky note, and the reason you started this business is somewhere underneath all of it.

The Studio Desk brings it into one place. It’s built from sixteen years of running my own studio and over two decades of design, and every room holds something I learnt the slow way: how to price, how to brief, how to say the hard thing to a client kindly, how to get paid, and how to plan a week that fits inside a real life.

You open it in the morning to your own why, your photo and your projects — in your brand colours. Then you go to the room you need and get on with the work you love. Your studio stays on your device.

How it works: pay monthly, or pay yearly and save. Cancel whenever you need to — no contract, no fine print.

What's inside

  • The Desk — your home page: greeting, your why, your photo, live room tiles, projects and tasks
  • Admin HQ — scripts, checklists and eleven Studio
  • Assistant tools for client emails, enquiries, feedback, briefs, pricing, scope creep, deadlines and your week
  • Finances — Your Studio Books, built in: quotes, invoices, credit notes, statements, bank import, VAT, income tax and What’s really mine?
  • Clients — one record per client, and a Client Studio Desk to share with each one
  • Design Notes — a page per project, with the right questions one tap away
  • Daily Planner — day, week and month; My Ideal Week sends your plan straight in

  • Automatic backups, and an 18-page welcome guide that walks you through every room

Shipping

Nothing to ship and nothing to wait for. Your link and your welcome guide arrive by email the moment checkout is done — check Promotions or Junk if it isn’t in your inbox within a few minutes.

Returns

Because this is a digital product you receive straight away, all sales are final. If anything isn’t working the way it should, email help@kunshuis.com and I’ll sort it out with you.

How is this different from buying the tools on their own?

The Desk includes every Studio Assistant tool, Your Studio Books and every room, all working together — your clients, quotes, notes and plans in one place. If you’d buy more than a couple of tools, the Desk is the better buy.

Do I need to be good with technology?

No. It opens in your browser like any website, and the welcome guide walks you through setting up, room by room.

Is my client information private?

Your desk lives only on your device — no account, no cloud, nobody else can see it. That’s why it backs up to a folder you choose, so a lost laptop never means a lost studio.

Can it look like my brand?

Yes. Add your logo and choose your own brand colours, or one of the Light, Evening and Midnight themes.

Will the AI tools sound like me?

They give you a strong first draft in a warm, confident studio voice. Read it, change what isn’t you, and make it yours.

I already have Your Studio Books. Can I bring my numbers?

Yes. Download a backup from the Books and import it into the Desk’s Finances — everything comes with you.

Can my team use it too?

It’s made for one studio owner on their own device. Each desk is personal, which is what keeps it private.

Will it do my tax for me?

It works out your VAT and tax set-aside and gives you clean reports, but rules differ by country — your accountant confirms the final figures.
