Future creative businesses start with clarity
“how can I help you?”
After 25 years in the fine art shipping industry across London and New York City—where a single mistake could cost millions—I learned something most creatives are never taught:
Systems save businesses.
I worked behind high-pressure projects, complex coordination, demanding clients and fast-moving creative environments where precision, structure and problem-solving were non-negotiable. That experience shaped the way I approach business today.
Now, through Smart Business Designs, I help creative entrepreneurs, artists and designers stop losing time, money and opportunities through messy workflows, unclear direction and inconsistent visibility.
Because talent alone is not a business strategy.
I have seen brilliant creatives remain stuck for years, not because they lacked talent, but because nobody taught them how to manage the business behind their creativity.
That is where I come in.
I help creative entrepreneurs simplify their processes, organise their ideas, strengthen their positioning and build businesses with greater direction, structure and momentum—without losing the creativity that makes them unique.
No fluff. No generic business advice.
Just honest strategy, practical systems and real-world experience that helps you move forward with confidence.
Because creativity deserves more than survival. It deserves growth, visibility and a business built to last.
What Makes Smart Business Designs Different?
At Smart Business Designs, we do not simply help creative entrepreneurs grow their businesses.
We help them build the business behind their creativity.
That means looking beyond ideas and inspiration to strengthen the foundations that support sustainable growth—including your business direction, offers, positioning, systems, workflows and visibility.
The goal is not to turn your creative business into something rigid or generic. It is to give your creativity the structure it needs to grow confidently and profitably.
Who Is Marjorie?
I’m Marjorie Gutierrez, Founder of Smart Business Designs and a Creative Business Strategist.
I do not teach creativity. I help creative entrepreneurs build the business behind it.
With more than two decades of commercial leadership and business experience, I work with established creative entrepreneurs who want more than ideas. They want clarity, practical strategy, profitable offers, stronger positioning and a business that supports the life they are building.
My role is to simplify the business side of entrepreneurship so that your creativity has the structure, systems and direction it needs to grow.
Because success is not built on talent alone.
It is built on the business behind it.
