Commissions with a brief and a pipeline
The commissions page carries a brief form asking for usage, deadline and budget. Each submission arrives as a contact and a deal in the pipeline. Commission types are Commerce services with packages, and the contract splits each job into sketch, final and licence milestones.
- Brief forms that create a contact and a deal, tagged by source
- Services, packages and milestone contracts
- Print buyers and clients on the same contact record
- Segments and newsletters for the people who bought the last print

Moodboards, roughs and feedback in one job
Each commission is a project with a canvas tab for the moodboard, a folder where every rough keeps its version history, and a chat room where the art director joins as a guest. Your public profile shows what you take on.
- Canvases with images, sticky notes, shapes and connectors
- Canvas cards linked to the files they describe
- Versioned roughs with previews and expiring share links
- Guests see their project, room and files, and nothing else
Shop and studio, connected
Flows reads the brief, the order and the project phase, and acts on the rest. A large brief opens a project from the right template, a brush-pack order delivers itself and tags the buyer, and an approved final raises the last milestone invoice.

One seat for the studio and the shop
Commissions and shop orders share one contact record, so an art director who also buys prints is one person, not two. Briefs, boards, roughs, approvals and invoices all hang off the same project.
