SAVAS Designers & Jewelers

The client, Savas Designs, wanted to establish a comprehensive project management system within Notion. The goal was to track their custom design, casework series, and repair work in jewelry, as well as studio space projects, client engagement events, and financial goals. They hoped for a system that could visualize all these elements to better manage workloads and adjust as needed.

Outcome

Together with the client, we developed a comprehensive project management system within Notion. This system included individual client project cards that navigate through design, CAD, and production processes. We also created an efficient system for task assignment and action date setting, as well as various methods for visualizing progress, adjusting timelines, and automating parts of the workflow. A notable feature we implemented was a "Capture" page for note-taking, which significantly improved the client's workflow.

Impact

The project had a significant impact on the business. It helped better organize their client projects, tasks, and communications, thus improving efficiency. The task filtering and views enabled them to track deadlines and prioritize upcoming work more easily, ensuring nothing was overlooked. The ability to document past projects and lessons learned will assist in conversations with new clients and may simplify sales. As they continue to develop the system over time with Jenny's guidance, it will become a more powerful tool to manage and grow their business.
