Where briefs, drafts, and approvals finally live in one place.
The branded workspace built for design studios. Intake, creative review, asset libraries, and client sign-off in one platform. Stop losing feedback to Slack threads.
Design feedback shouldn't live in 4 different tools.
A typical brand or web studio runs briefs in Google Docs, drafts in Figma, feedback in Slack, approvals in email, and final assets in Dropbox. The result: a designer revises based on a Slack DM from yesterday, then the client says "actually I emailed the change last week" and nobody knows which version is final. Droova puts the entire creative cycle - brief, drafts, comments, approvals, assets - in one branded workspace.
- Briefs scattered across Google Docs and emails
- Feedback fragmented in Slack, email, and Figma comments
- Approvals "verbal in the call" then disputed later
- Final assets in Dropbox with no version trail
- Time tracking in a separate Toggl tab
- Client never sure where the project stands
- Result: scope disputes and version drift
- Brief, scope, and timeline in one project
- Comments tied to a specific deliverable version
- Approvals captured with timestamps
- Asset library that survives after handoff
- Time tracking attached to each engagement
- Branded client portal with real-time visibility
- Result: clean revisions, no scope drift
Three stages every design engagement runs through.
Capture the brief once. Reference it for the rest of the engagement.
Intake forms collect goals, audience, brand context, references, and constraints. The brief becomes the spine of the project workspace - every draft, every revision, every client comment can reference back to it. When scope creep starts, you have a single source of truth instead of a "what we agreed in the kickoff call" debate.
- • Branded intake forms tailored to your service offering
- • Brief lives inline with the project, not in a separate doc
- • Stakeholders, decision-makers, and decision deadlines tracked from day one
Versioned drafts with comments tied to the right round.
Drop Figma links, image files, video walkthroughs, or written rationale. Clients comment directly on each version. When a new round goes up, prior feedback stays visible so the client can see how their input was addressed. No scrolling through Slack threads to remember what was asked for two weeks ago.
- • Inline comments tied to a specific draft version
- • Approval / revision request captured per deliverable
- • Audit trail of every revision and who approved it
Asset library that outlives the engagement.
Final logos, brand systems, web exports, and source files live in the workspace asset library. When the client comes back six months later for a campaign, the entire history is one click away - the brief, the rationale, the final files. Renewal and follow-on engagements stop starting from zero.
- • Asset library accessible to the client via branded portal
- • Source files, exports, and brand guidelines in one place
- • Engagement history preserved for repeat work
Studio types that consolidate onto Droova.
Naming, identity, brand systems, packaging. 4-15 person teams running 3-8 client engagements at any time. Heavy on creative review, pristine asset delivery.
Website redesigns, design systems, app UI. Heavy on Figma, multiple stakeholders per client, lots of revision rounds.
Brand films, animations, social cuts. Long render and review cycles, heavy file delivery, time-sensitive feedback windows.

Common questions from design studios.
How does Droova handle creative review better than email or Slack threads?
+
Drafts and mockups live inside the project workspace. Clients comment directly on each deliverable, with timestamped feedback tied to a specific version. No email forwarding, no scrolling through 200 Slack messages to find what was approved. When a revision lands, the previous comments stay visible so context isn't lost between rounds.
Can clients leave feedback without learning a new tool?
+
Yes. Each client gets a branded portal with no login required - they click a link and see the project. They can leave comments and approve deliverables from any device. The workflow feels like Loom or InVision, not like onboarding into ClickUp. Adoption is the highest of any client-facing tool we've tested.
Does it integrate with Figma?
+
Designers paste Figma file links directly into deliverables, and Figma comments and prototypes embed inline in the project view. Clients see the live Figma file alongside the brief, scope, and approval history. We're working on deeper Figma integration (commit-style versioning, design-system token tracking) for late 2026.
We do branding work with multiple deliverables per client. Can the workspace handle that?
+
Yes. A typical branding engagement structures into discovery → mood boards → identity exploration → final system → asset library. Each phase lives as a project section with its own deliverables, deadlines, and approval gates. Final assets are stored in a workspace asset library that survives after the engagement closes.
Does Droova replace tools like Notion or Trello for design studios?
+
For most studios under 30 people, yes. Notion lacks real project management and client portals; Trello scales poorly past a handful of clients. Droova consolidates the brief intake, project tracking, client review, asset delivery, and post-launch support into one workspace - so the studio runs lean and looks professional.
How does pricing work for studios with freelancers and contractors?
+
Internal team members are paid seats. Freelancers and contractors can be added to specific projects without a full seat - they get scoped access to the work they're involved in. Clients are always free; they're not seats. Most 8-15 person studios run on the equivalent of 8-15 internal seats.
Can I show clients only the work in progress, not the team's internal back-and-forth?
+
Yes. The client portal is a curated layer that shows only what you choose - milestones, deliverables, approved assets, key updates. Internal task assignments, time tracking, design critique, and team conversations stay private to the studio. Clients see the polished surface; the team sees everything.
What about long-running retainer clients vs short brand sprints?
+
Both work. Each engagement is a workspace that persists indefinitely. A 4-week brand sprint and a 2-year retainer use the same structure - just different project templates. When a sprint client comes back for a follow-up project a year later, the entire history (brief, deliverables, approvals, conversations) is right there.
