of 5— Create a new Claude Project for the client
What you'll accomplish
By the end of this guide, you'll have a Claude Project set up for one of your major ongoing clients — with their brand guidelines, voice and tone, past feedback patterns, and campaign history loaded in — so every new design task starts with an AI that already knows the brand as well as you do.
What you'll need
- Claude Pro account ({{tool:Claude.price}}) — Projects require Claude Pro
- The client's brand guidelines (PDF, Word doc, or website link)
- 15–20 minutes of notes about the client's preferences and past feedback
- Time needed: 45 minutes to set up; 5 minutes per new task after
- Cost: {{tool:Claude.price}}
