You want that sweet spot: a thriving design business without the constant headaches and overwhelm.
But let’s be honest… some days it feels like you’re stuck in a maze with no exit. Whether you’ve been at this for years or you’re just starting out, running a design business isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Between managing clients, juggling projects, and trying to keep everything moving, it’s a constant battle to keep the pressure from taking over.
You’ve tried everything, but nothing sticks.
Maybe you’ve taken other courses, only to find they’re packed with fluff and zero of the real-world, actionable strategies you actually need to run a stress-free business. Or maybe you’ve gone full DIY—piecing together random tips, copying what other designers are doing—only to end up more confused (and overwhelmed) than when you started.
let me guess, on a daily basis you might be…
🫠 stuck in an endless loop of emails, updates, and looming deadlines, like you’re constantly paddling just to keep your head above water.
🫠 constantly dealing with projects that drag on forever thanks to late feedback, ghosting, and revision after revision… and it’s draining every ounce of your creative energy.
🫠 feeling like your business is running you—leaving you in permanent catch-up mode and wondering if you’ll ever truly be in control.
You also find yourself questioning...
001 —
Will “success” mean kissing my personal life goodbye and hustling 24/7?
Spoiler: it doesn’t have to. With streamlined systems, you can run a profitable business and still have the time and energy to actually enjoy your life.
002 —
How could I possibly handle more? My workload already feels like a lot.
It’s not about finding more hours in the day, it’s about managing your projects smarter. When you take a strategic approach to your client process, you get your time (and sanity) back. I’ll show you exactly how.
003—
Don't I need to hire a team to grow?
Not everyone wants (or needs) to build a big agency. I’ve structured my own business so I can run a six-figure operation solo—on part-time hours—and you can too.
“It's also given me the confidence to quote projects at a higher rate and I haven't had one turned down yet!”
The 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…
✔️ Ending your workdays early while your invoices are still being paid.
✔️ Hitting six-figures (and beyond) without sacrificing evenings with your family or weekends for “catch-up” work.
✔️ Feeling excited to open your laptop every morning because your business finally runs on your terms.
And before you roll your eyes and think, “Yeah, right, that’s too good to be true…”
I’ve been exactly where you are. I’ve made this happen in my own business, and I’ve helped other designers do the same.
A little about me
Hey! I’m Maggie.
The owner and designer behind Viola Hill Studio.
I’m a lover of design, espresso in all forms (🍸 ☕ 🍨), and a well-organized business system that practically runs itself.
When I started my design business, I felt totally confident in my creative skills—but when it came to actually guiding clients through my process? I was winging it.
Sound familiar?
Every proposal felt like a guessing game, timelines were slipping, and I spent way too many late nights trying to “fix” things before a client noticed.
It wasn’t that I didn’t care (I cared too much). I just didn’t have the structure or systems in place to back me up. And honestly? That constant chaos made me start questioning if I even wanted to keep going.
But here’s what I learned: clarity isn’t just kind, it’s the foundation of a design business that runs smoothly, books dream clients, and leaves you with a schedule you actually love.
That’s exactly why I created The Part-Time Studio Framework—to help designers like you streamline your process, take control of your schedule, and finally enjoy the business you’ve worked so hard to build. I’ll walk you through the exact systems I use to work part-time hours while making full-time income, so you can spend less time putting out fires and more time actually doing the work you love.
Want a peek inside?
How we’ll set part-time hours for your design business
-
Module 1
Prep Work
We’re starting with a reality check. You’ll pinpoint exactly where your process is breaking down so you can ditch the scattered, reactive way of working and start running your projects with intention. No more guessing why every project feels like a hot mess—you’ll know exactly what’s not working and how to fix it.
-
Module 2
Crafting a Strong Proposal
Stop sending “meh” proposals that leave you second-guessing your scope, pricing, or boundaries. I’ll show you how to lead confident consultation calls and write proposals that sell your value—so you book dream clients who respect your process from day one.
-
Module 3
Developing your creative process
Your business isn’t a copy-and-paste of someone else’s, so your process shouldn’t be either. Together, we’ll create a workflow that fits your services, your schedule, and your capacity—one you can rinse-and-repeat for every project without burning out.
-
Module 4
Creating + Automating Your Client Timelines
Say goodbye to deadline-chasing and constant “just checking in” emails. You’ll build timelines that basically run themselves, so clients always know what’s happening, projects stay on track, and you get to actually enjoy your workdays.
-
Module 5
Having a Solid Contract That Sets Boundaries
You’ll craft a contract that protects your time, your income, and your sanity. Clear boundaries, clear expectations, and zero awkward conversations.
-
Module 6
Enforcing the Terms of Your Contract
Having a contract is one thing. Knowing how to enforce it is another. You’ll learn exactly how to hold your boundaries when clients push back—plus get copy-paste email scripts for those tricky situations—so you can keep projects running smoothly without the guilt spiral.
-
Module 7
Real Life client example
I’ll take you behind the scenes of an actual client project so you can see exactly how this system works in real life—how long each phase took, what the communication looked like, and how everything stayed organized from start to finish.
After this course you’ll be able to
🔁 Run projects with a rinse-and-repeat process that actually works for you. no more guessing.
🤝 Book clients who feel confident in you from the very first call.
⏰ Hold boundaries that protect your time without feeling guilty.
💃 Work less, live more — and know your studio is still thriving.

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…
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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!
Finally 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.”
The Part-Time Studio Framework 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.
