About
Studio Sidekick exists to support the side of running a design studio that nobody really talks about.
The backend.
The systems, workflows, organisation, templates, communication, and processes that keep projects moving and studios running behind the scenes.
Built specifically for interior designers, Studio Sidekick is designed to help creative businesses feel more structured, more organised, and less overwhelmed day-to-day.
From file management and client communication to studio workflows, content support, templates, and operational systems, everything is created around the real day-to-day of running a design business.
Not generic business advice.
Not corporate systems that don’t fit creative studios.
Just practical tools, support, and structure designed to make the behind-the-scenes of your business feel calmer, clearer, and easier to manage.
Our Principles
●
Clarity Over Chaos
We believe a business should feel as considered as the spaces you design.
Clear systems, organised files, and structured workflows aren’t a luxury - they’re what make everything else easier.
●
Systems Make It Work
Good design gets the credit. Good systems do the work.
Behind every smooth project is a structure that holds it all together - from pricing to processes to delivery.
●
Keep It Simple
You don’t need more tools. You need better ones.
Everything we create is designed to be used - not overthought, not overly complex, and not sitting unused in a folder somewhere.
●
Built From A Studio, For Your Studio
This isn’t theory.
Everything inside Studio Sidekick is based on real projects, real clients, and the day-to-day reality of running a design business.
Meet Courtney
Studio Sidekick was created alongside my own interior design studio, Room Service.
After launching my own business, I quickly realised that running an interior design studio involves far more than just designing. Behind every finished project sits a huge amount of admin, organisation, communication, content creation, and project management that most designers never anticipated spending quite so much time on.
The systems.
The client communication.
The files.
The workflows.
The proposals.
The content.
The constant backend organisation needed to keep projects moving smoothly.
And then there's the marketing - the endless cycle of planning, creating, scheduling, and trying to stay visible while juggling everything else behind the scenes.
Before becoming an interior designer, I spent over a decade working across fashion, operations, e-commerce, sales, and business development, helping brands grow and building the systems that kept everything running. When I moved into the interior design industry and later launched my own studio, I found myself bringing those skills with me.
Alongside running Room Service, I've also supported other interior designers with everything from social media, blogs, SEO, and content planning to studio systems, organisation, FF&E support, presentations, file management, and the day-to-day workflows that keep projects moving.
Over time, I started building processes, templates, and systems that made running a studio feel calmer, clearer, and far more manageable behind the scenes - not just for myself, but for the designers I was supporting too.
Studio Sidekick exists to help interior designers spend less time buried in admin and more time doing what they do best: designing beautiful spaces.
It's a place for practical support, better systems, and the behind-the-scenes help that keeps a studio running smoothly.
Because good design gets the credit.
But good systems are what make it all work.
