You're chasing after that ideal balance – a flourishing design business minus the headaches and overwhelm.
But let's be real, getting there feels like navigating a maze of constant doubt. Whether you're a seasoned pro or fresh out of the gate, running a design business is no walk in the park. From managing clients to juggling projects and everything in between, you're constantly wrestling with the pressures of your business.
You've Tried It All, But Nothing Clicks.
Maybe you’ve taken other courses but found they lacked the real-world, actionable insights you crave to build a seamless workflow. Or maybe you took the DIY approach, either piecing together your own makeshift process or trying to replicate what other designers are doing, only to end up even more lost.
On a daily basis, you might be…
001
Juggling the constant back and forth between client emails and project updates all while trying to meet deadlines, which leaves you feeling like you're sinking in a sea of tasks.
002
Enduring the frustration of client projects stretching beyond deadlines due to delayed feedback, ghosting, and endless rounds of revisions, resulting in overwhelming burnout.
003
Finding yourself caught in a whirlwind where your business dictates your schedule, which means you’re constantly playing catch-up and struggling to maintain control.
You’re questioning:
does more money equal more problems?
You’re worried that success means sacrificing your personal life for the grind.
Spoiler alert: with streamlined processes, you can have your cake and eat it too – professionally and personally.
Your workload is already stretching you thin, is there even enough time in the day to add more to your plate?
It's not about squeezing more hours into your day – it's about getting organized! It's time to take a strategic approach to each phase of your client process. Let me take you step-by-step to get there!
There’s no way you can take on more work without hiring a team, right?
Not necessarily! Scaling doesn’t have to mean building a crowded design agency with tight deadlines and razor-thin profit margins—no, thank you. Personally, I’ve built my business to run lean and profitable, allowing me to earn a comfortable six figures solo, all while working part-time hours. And now it’s your turn!
“It's also given me the confidence to quote projects at a higher rate and I haven't had one turned down yet!”
The On Board with Ease course has not only given me the confidence to feel like I am taking great care of my clients, but also has given my clients so much relief and honestly got them to commit much quicker to projects. It's also given me the confidence to quote projects at a higher rate and I haven't had one turned down yet! The foundational content shared here is something every designer needs.
Now just imagine
Being able to charge higher rates because you’re providing a unforgettable client experience.
Growing to six figures and beyond without chaining yourself to the desk any longer.
Being inspired every single day, enjoying the freedom to truly love what you do in your business
and before you say it’s too good to be true…
Just know, I've been exactly where you are, and I've not only achieved these in my own business but also helped other designers do the same!

Module Three
Developing your creative process
Design a workflow that fits you—your services, your schedule, and your capacity. No more copying someone else’s process or winging it; this is how you run projects in a way that feels sustainable, repeatable, and completely your own.
Module Four
Creating and Automating your Client Timelines
Build timelines that practically run themselves—so clients always know what’s happening and you never have to chase deadlines again. No more constant back-and-forth, just organized, stress-free projects from start to finish.
Module five
Having a Solid Contract That Sets Boundaries
Craft a contract that protects your time, your income, and your sanity—so there’s no confusion about what’s included, how you work, or where the boundaries are. No more awkward conversations or scope creep surprises.
Module six
Enforcing the Terms of Your Contract
Take charge of your process and learn how to confidently hold boundaries when clients push them so you can steer projects back on track without feeling guilty or second-guessing yourself. Plus, get copy-paste email scripts for when things get sticky!

Hey, I’m Maggie!
The owner and designer behind Viola Hill Studio.
I’m a lover of design, the perfect coffee shop, and well-organized business systems.
Six years ago, I would completely shut down when faced with the flickering cursor on my latest project proposal. I get what it’s like to feel totally confident in your design skills, yet anxious when it comes to guiding clients through your creative process — especially when you still don’t have lots of experience.
In short, I felt like I was winging it, and it didn’t feel great.
But after lots of late-night Adobe sessions and stressful client calls, I learned that not only is clarity kind, it’s necessary for a thriving client relationship.
And clarity is exactly what you’ll get in On Board With Ease.
The On Board With Ease course teaches you the logistics around creating a smooth client process from start to finish. I’ll pull back the curtain to my own process and show you exactly how to build strong relationships with your clients who will respect you as the creative expert.
Choose the option that works best for you and see what streamlining your client on boarding process can do for your design business.

Here’s what you need to know:
-
OBWE is a self-paced journey through 7 comprehensive modules and over 20 videos designed to instill confidence in your onboarding process. From initial client contact to the final contract signing, you’ll leave with a clear understanding of each step. You’ll also get access to plenty of bonus resources — workbooks, templates, tutorials, and more — crafted to help you create the most efficient and refined workflow possible.
-
This isn’t just some formulaic course built on algorithms and gimmicks. I have compiled all of my experience building successful client relationships and maximizing my work-life balance so that you can do the same. You’ll be guided through every aspect of the client on boarding process, from initial inquiry to project completion. I also believe in ACTION— I give you the exact steps so that you can implement them into your own process.
-
Automation is a gift to both you and your client. It sets them up to clearly understand how you will work together, start to finish, without tense negotiations later down the road. Automated on boarding eliminates the need for time-consuming tasks and reduces friction in client interactions, decreasing overall stress and feelings of being taken advantage of. In short, you’ll sleep a whole lot better.
-
The course is designed to be flexible, with self-paced learning. You can go through the materials at your own speed, making it easier to balance with your existing commitments!
This course is for you if:
You feel preemptively stressed when you see a new client inquiry land in your inbox — even though you need the work.
You have a hard time saying ‘no’ to that late-night request, even when you know how upset your friends will be that you’re canceling — again.
You want to establish a reputation for efficient and structured services that organically build a loyal client base.
You want to be known for getting that design exactly as your client envisioned, but not at the cost of high blood pressure and sleepless nights.
This course is Not for you if:
You already have a stellar and super clear on boarding experience and “scope creep” — don’t know her.
You prefer to customize your workflow for every single client and do not want to touch automation.
You like learning from live sessions and do not do well when following a self-paced course.
You might be thinking…
-
I get it. When you’re just starting out, justifying any investment can be a challenge. That said, taking time to set up your business well will not only save you the headache of mismanaged client expectations, but countless hours of learning from mistakes. Plus, when clients love you, they hire you again! Meaning more income in the long run.
-
That’s the beauty of pre-recorded modules and videos. You can go at your own pace when you have time, even if the best time for you is in the wee hours before your kids wake up demanding breakfast.
-
While I’m not a magician or a therapist, I do know what it’s like to want to cater to your clients at the expense of yourself. After years of playing with the balance of satisfied clients and less stress for myself, I have developed a system that has given me more freedom and happy clients. Good boundaries can be learned. And the more you do it, the more comfortable you’ll get.
-
You will still be able to give your clients a valuable, unique design experience even if some of the back-end is automated. In fact, automation of the on boarding process will likely free up more of your creative energy that you can then dedicate to the actual design process and client calls. It’s a win-win.
Crush thoughts like:
“I know I’ve explained this multiple times already…”
“This project has gone so off the rails.”
“Maybe I’m not good enough for this project.”
“I can’t wait until this is over so I can never speak to this client again.”
On Board With Ease goes deeper than just teaching you the steps for a seamless client workflow— it emphasizes how to build and nurture respectful relationships with your clients so you never have to deal with a “nightmare” client situation again.
Have you had your very last midnight work session?
Look, you started your own business because you wanted to be in charge of your schedule, your workload, and your creative process. Streamline your on boarding and love your work again.
