Steal the essential resources, templates & tools we’ve used to grow our passion from freelance side-gig to successful service business. We’re here to help support your entrepreneurial journey.

Our Favorite Small Business Tools

Basically, our entire life is in Notion. We couldn’t live without it. We use it for general business/project management, note taking, collaboration, and select client portals and intake questionnaires. It’s a jack of all trades - Create your account here!

Notion

Honeybook

We were blown away when we realized how this CRM could transform our workflow, create massive efficiencies in communication and client management, organize our business and save us a ton of time in automation - Sign-up here!

Canva

For non-professional-designers, this is your pal for creating visually aesthetic and intriguing graphics for social with ease. You can also create flyers, posters, biz cards, etc. - And print directly. It’s super intuitive - Create an account here.

Wave

A good starter invoicing and payment processor. Send estimates, invoices and manage your finances with ease. Wave gives your customers every way to pay in a professional digital format. Gone are the days of printed invoices. Sign up here.

Loom

Replace the meeting with a recording? Say less. Loom let's you screen share and talk through a document or proposal, reducing the need for as many live video calls. We could all use that extra 30 minutes back. Get started here.

Google Calendar

Our favorite for tracking meetings, tasks and important deadlines, Google Calendar is simple and integrates across platforms (cough cough: Honeybook). No need to complicate your calendar!

InShot

We prefer InShot over Instagram for editing and fine-tuning our video content. It’s great for easy editing of Reels from your phone or computer and avoids platform-related glitches. Get started here .

Later

“Social media management made easy” is spot-on. We use Later to pre-schedule our social content instead of posting on-the-fly. Later also lets you preview your feed. Sign up here.

Squarespace

Obviously, we’re passionate that Squarespace is the best website host for small service businesses. Host your digital home + leverage marketing tools and analytics. Get a discount on your annual plan by working with us to create your digital home.

Unsplash

Unsplash is a great free stock imagery resource, with thousands of images to choose from independent designers. You can use them for social, your website, print content, etc. - you name it! Your brand needs cohesive imagery.

As a former senior marketing manager turned passionate entrepreneur, I’m an advocate for going after a vision.

Throughout nearly a decade in corporate marketing, I led organic + acquisitive rebrands, $500,000+ brand events and a diverse, multi-channel marketing strategy that developed a deep business acumen and passion for all things branding.

Understanding fundamental business strategy and the mindset of Fortune 500 leaders garners creative work that’s not just aesthetic - It’s engaging and strategic in achieving goals. This experience-driven knowledge and robust business background sets our work apart from traditional creatives.

What got me here was a deep desire for more outside of my corporate marketing role. Freedom, flexibility, unlimited income potential, inspiring work, etc. etc.. Founding Bspace Studio transformed my life, and I’m passionate about drawing on my experience to empower likeminded founders, owners and small teams with a vision.
