Inkwell Design Studio
A productized service system that turned a design studio into a scalable subscription model.
A graphic design studio selling custom projects by the hour. Revenue was capped by designer capacity, every project was bespoke, and no system reused past work. The studio couldn't grow without adding designers.
Built a productized service platform with design subscription tiers, AI-powered design assistance, client portals, and a brand asset system that scaled revenue 3x without adding designers.
Revenue per designer tripled, client retention hit 90%, and the studio grew 3x — all while moving to a scalable subscription model.
We built a productized service platform with design subscription tiers — monthly plans for ongoing design work at different service levels. AI-powered design assistance handled repetitive tasks — resizing, color variations, format adaptation — letting designers focus on creative work. A client portal offered request submission, project tracking, and asset download. A brand asset system stored every client's brand guidelines, logos, and templates for instant reuse, and analytics tracked designer productivity and client satisfaction.
