Overview

Project Overview

Designed and built a centralized Notion workspace to help freelancers and small businesses manage their daily operations. The workspace includes a Client CRM, Task Manager, Invoice Tracker, Content Calendar, and SOPs & Resources — powered by relational databases, multiple views, and an organized dashboard that improves workflow, project tracking, and productivity.

Highlights

Key Features

Central Dashboard

A single hub that links every workspace module, so nothing lives in a disconnected tab or app.

Client CRM

Tracks clients, services, deadlines, payment status, and priority in one relational database.

Task Manager

Board and table views with a task-to-client relation, so every task traces back to the right account.

Invoice Tracker

Rolled-up invoice status and amounts linked directly to client records for at-a-glance payment tracking.

Content Calendar

A calendar view for scheduling posts and deliverables across platforms and clients.

SOPs & Resources

A searchable library of procedures, checklists, prompts, and templates to keep delivery consistent.

Problem

The Challenge

Freelancers often manage clients, tasks, invoices, and content across multiple disconnected tools, making it difficult to stay organized and track project progress efficiently.

Approach

Solution

Designed a centralized Notion workspace with linked databases, custom properties, multiple views (Table, Board, and Calendar), and an easy-to-navigate dashboard that keeps all business information in one place.

Engineering

Technical Challenges Solved

Real problems hit during the build — and how each one was diagnosed and resolved.

Problem

Client, task, and invoice data risked being duplicated across separate databases.

How I solved it

Linked the databases with relation properties instead of copying data, so each client record is the single source that tasks and invoices reference.

Problem

Invoice and task status needed to update automatically as work progressed.

How I solved it

Built rollup properties and formulas that pull invoice totals and task counts onto the client record in real time.

Problem

Information was scattered, making it hard to trust any one view as up to date.

How I solved it

Established the Client CRM as the single source of truth, with Task Manager, Invoice Tracker, and Content Calendar all relating back to it.

Problem

A dashboard with too much data can quickly become cluttered and slow to scan.

How I solved it

Designed the dashboard around filtered, rolled-up views so it stays fast, focused, and scannable at a glance.

Problem

The system needed to be reusable for future clients, not a one-off build.

How I solved it

Templated the databases and properties so a new client can be onboarded by duplicating the structure, not rebuilding it.
