Creative Workflow System

A proprietary workflow system centralized every stage of content creation, from ideas to publishing, across multiple formats and brands. Designed in Notion, it integrated brand guidelines, automated distribution mapping, and structured workflows that eliminated manual overhead. What began as a personal prototype now serves as a scalable framework for creative operations, delivering faster, more consistent output while laying the foundation for future SaaS expansion.

Problem

Managing multi-format content across blogs, videos, podcasts, and social channels was chaotic. Existing tools either lacked visibility or required heavy manual upkeep, creating inefficiencies and inconsistency.

  • No unified system to centralize creative assets
  • Inconsistent brand storytelling across platforms
  • Manual tracking overhead across multiple tools
  • No scalable framework for future growth or collaboration

Actions

Developed a proprietary creative workflow system built directly into Notion.

  • Designed a relational database to unify all content types with shared metadata
  • Defined workflow stages: Idea → Draft → Filming → Editing → Review → Scheduled → Published
  • Embedded brand controls including voice guidelines and formatting rules
  • Automated distribution mapping across LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Email, and Blog
  • Structured the system for future scalability, from solo creator use to team-level collaboration

Results

The prototype became the backbone of all creative operations.

  • 100% of content creation now managed in the system
  • Streamlined workflows reduced duplication and context switching
  • Brand storytelling aligned consistently across platforms
  • Created a portfolio-ready IP asset adaptable for SaaS or client licensing

Impact

The system shifted content operations from scattered tools to a centralized, scalable model.

  • Delivered creative clarity by consolidating workflows in one place
  • Increased efficiency by reducing manual overhead
  • Built proprietary IP for future SaaS opportunities
  • Provided a scalable foundation for individual and team adoption

Metrics

  • 100% of creative outputs tracked in the system
  • 5+ formats supported (blogs, video, social, podcasts, long-form/short-form)
  • Significant reduction in manual updates across external tools
  • Improved brand consistency across campaigns
