Some of the best work here started as someone else's idea.

AC Doughworks makes tools for people trying to hold a full life together. If you reach the same people — as a coach, a brand, an employer or an event — there's usually a way to build something together that neither of us would make alone.

Ways this usually works

Co-branded planners and journals

Your brand, my design and structure. Useful for coaches and practitioners who want a tool to put in a client's hands that isn't a generic printable.

Corporate gifting and staff wellness

Bulk digital licences or printed sets for teams — onboarding welcome packs, year-end gifts, or a wellness initiative that people actually use. Priced per seat, with volume rates.

Workshops and events

Planning and journaling sessions for retreats, women's events, and staff away-days, with a workbook designed for the group rather than pulled off the shelf.

Affiliate partnerships

If you already recommend planning tools to your audience, there's a straightforward commission arrangement — no exclusivity, no minimums.

Licensing and white-label

Existing planners and journals can be licensed for use inside your own programme or membership, with your branding applied.

What makes a good fit

• Your audience overlaps with mine — people balancing work, family and their own growth
• You care how things look and read, not just what they cost
• There's a real deliverable in it, not only cross-promotion
• You're comfortable with a small studio: one designer, direct answers, no account manager
