Your first sign-in, and what you can see

A client sees progress and decisions — not costs, not the team's internal argument.

In this lesson

Signing in as a client

This is the same sign-in page the studio uses. There is no separate customer portal to find — your invitation lands here.

Rania owns the San Stefano penthouse, and she signs in with the email the studio invited. That address is what ties everything she sees to her project.

Her own view opens, not the studio’s. From the first second the screen is about her home and nothing else.

One project, on purpose

She can see only her penthouse. That is not the studio being secretive — it is the studio guaranteeing she never lands in someone else’s job by mistake.

Her menu is short, on purpose. It holds the decisions the studio needs from her, and the progress on her home — not the tooling the team uses internally.

Where the work lives

The board is where the studio’s work on her home becomes visible. Each column is a stage, and each card is a real piece of her fit-out moving through it.

Here a design package is waiting for her eye. The studio has put it where she will see it, rather than burying it in an email.

Notice what is not here. No costs, no internal estimates, no list of who is behind. The team’s arguments stay inside the studio; what reaches Rania is decisions and progress.

The habit

One habit for your first week. If something looks missing, ask the studio to show it to you rather than hunting through menus — a client’s view is deliberately narrow, and a missing screen is usually a permission, not a fault.
