Feedback from everywhere.
Comments arrive by email, in a call, in a shared doc and in a message to whoever the client knows best. Consolidating them takes longer than the revision.
FOR DESIGN AGENCIES
Creative agency management software for design studios
Win the brief, collect the brand assets, get each round approved and bill for the work. Angelwood keeps the client side of a design project in one portal while your team keeps designing in the tools it already uses.
QUICK ANSWER
Angelwood is creative agency management software for design studios. It covers proposals with e-signatures, onboarding and asset requests, reviewed client updates, recorded approvals for each design round, time tracking and invoices paid through Stripe.
WHO THIS IS FOR
Built for design studios and creative agencies that want proposals, client approvals, time and invoices in one place, with delivery staying in their own tools.
THE WORK BEHIND THE RELATIONSHIP
What gets in the way for design studios and creative agencies.
Rounds without an end.
The proposal said two rounds of revisions. Nobody can find where the client signed off round two, so round four starts anyway.
Waiting on assets.
Logo files, brand fonts and copy arrive late or in the wrong format, and the first week of the project goes on chasing them.
Hours that never reach the invoice.
Small change requests add up. Without time tracked against the project, the studio absorbs the cost.
FROM SETUP TO SHARED CONTEXT
How design studios and creative agencies use Angelwood, start to finish.
From the signed proposal to the paid invoice, with your own tools in the middle.
- 01
Send the proposal.
Build the proposal from a template, include the scope and the number of revision rounds, and collect an e-signature in the client portal.
- 02
Collect the brand assets.
Turn the signed scope into an onboarding plan and request logo files, fonts, copy and examples with instructions on the format you need.
- 03
Design in your own tools.
Keep working in Figma and your project tool. Connect Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello or Basecamp so progress can feed client updates.
- 04
Share each round for approval.
Publish a reviewed update for each round and ask for a specific decision. The client's approval is recorded against the work it covers.
- 05
Track the time.
Run a timer or add entries against the project, mark them billable and see where revision rounds are eating into the budget.
- 06
Invoice and get paid.
Create the invoice from approved billable time, add fixed fees, and let the client pay in their portal through Stripe.

Design agencies: common questions
What software do design agencies use to manage clients?
Most studios combine a design tool such as Figma, a project tool such as Asana or ClickUp, and something for proposals, time and invoices. Angelwood covers the client-facing and back-office part: proposals with e-signatures, onboarding, approvals, time tracking and invoices, while your team keeps designing and planning in its existing tools.
What is creative agency management software?
Software that runs the business side of a creative agency: winning work, onboarding clients, managing feedback and approvals, tracking time and billing. Some tools also replace your project management tool; Angelwood syncs with it instead.
How do I stop endless revision rounds?
Write the number of rounds into the proposal, ask for one consolidated set of feedback per round, and record the client's approval when each round closes. Angelwood keeps the signed proposal and each approval in the same portal, so you can point to what was agreed.
Can clients comment directly on designs in Angelwood?
Not on the image itself. Angelwood doesn't include pixel-level proofing. Clients review the update for each round, ask questions and approve or request changes, and your team links to the files in your design tool.
Does Angelwood replace Figma or our project management tool?
No. Design stays in your design tool and delivery stays in your project tool. Angelwood connects to Asana, ClickUp, Monday, Trello and Basecamp and handles the client side and the billing.
Can I invoice from tracked time?
Yes. Pick a billing period and Angelwood drafts an invoice from approved billable time, flags any time missing a rate, and lets you add fixed fees before you send it.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Every plan starts with a 14-day free trial. See the pricing page for seats and client portal limits.
