You started your organization to serve a purpose, not to spend your days buried in scheduling, inbox management, and project coordination. But here you are.
SA Studio reflects the spirit behind every Satiated Artists placement. Three courses, built from 15+ years of real-world remote team training, now available to anyone ready to build exceptional administrative support.
Scattered energy
You're doing the admin, the outreach, the coordination and the actual mission work, often all at the same time. Something always slips.
Hiring feels risky
Past fractional support didn't work out. Managing someone new feels like more work, not less, especially without SOPs in place.
Revenue is unpredictable
You're losing opportunities because you can't keep up with follow-through. Leads slip through the cracks when you're stretched thin.
The stakes are too high
The communities you serve are working with fewer resources, and need you now more than ever. And you can't afford to waste time on handling admin that could be handled by someone else.
You've tried hiring support before. Maybe it didn't stick. The onboarding took more energy than doing it yourself, the handoff never quite clicked, and you ended up back at square one, still the bottleneck in your own organization. Meanwhile, the communities and clients you serve are counting on you to show up focused on the work that actually matters.
Each course is hosted on Thinkific, with video lessons, downloadable worksheets and templates, real-world application exercises, and structured reflection points built into every module.
Enroll & Begin
Choose the course that fits your needs and start immediately. Self-paced courses let you move at your own speed; structured programs follow a guided schedule.
Learn & Apply
Each lesson pairs real-world instruction with immediate action items. You are not just absorbing theory, you are building habits and systems you can use from day one.
Show Up Ready
By the end of the course, you will have a working toolkit with frameworks, templates, and practiced skills that make you an immediate asset to any remote team.
Three programs covering the full scope of remote administrative excellence, from executive support fundamentals to project management methodology to remote team collaboration.
Self-Paced
A comprehensive training in the art of executive assistance, built for creatives who want to bring their creative instincts into administrative excellence. It's a philosophical and practical foundation for becoming the kind of EA an executive can't imagine working without.
You'll learn how to build trust, manage up, prevent decision fatigue, anticipate needs before they're expressed, and turn the creative instincts you already have into a professional advantage. The course covers everything from proactive communication strategies to managing complex client dynamics, with downloadable worksheets, real-world scenarios, and reflection exercises in every module.
These courses will help you uplevel your skills and bring a fresh perspective to the role.
10 Modules · Structured
A structured 10-module program covering real project management methodology (Waterfall, Agile, and Hybrid) adapted specifically for creative professionals serving both nonprofit and for-profit clients. This isn't an abstract PM certification course. Every concept is grounded in the actual work of managing client projects remotely.
Using an interactive workbook, you'll utilize a package of Project Management Excel Templates that are yours to keep and use throughout your PM career. You'll learn to define scope, identify stakeholders, build communication plans, facilitate meetings, manage tools, and navigate the challenges that derail most projects: scope creep, accountability gaps, radio silence, and decision fatigue.
7 Modules · Self-Paced
Built around the ART framework (Autonomy, Resilience, Togetherness), this course prepares new remote employees and the leaders they work with to hit the ground running. It's designed for the specific challenges of onboarding into a remote environment where you need to contribute from day one without the scaffolding of a physical office.
You'll move through seven modules covering everything from workspace setup and tech selection to communication best practices, conflict resolution, self-motivation, burnout prevention, and continuous improvement. Every lesson ends with an immediate action item and a focus area to prioritize as you integrate into your team. This course is led by our own artists-to-admins who are successfully working remotely.
Whether you're looking to hire trained support or build these skills yourself, the goal is the same: master the art of remote administrative excellence.
Mission-driven leaders, solo entrepreneurs, agencies
These courses are the same training pipeline behind every Satiated Artists placement. You can also enroll your existing team to level up their remote collaboration, project management, and executive support skills. The PM course is particularly useful for organizations that need structured project oversight but don't have the budget for a full-time project manager.

These courses aren't just for executives. As an artist, we invite you to level up your admin skills with these courses. While not a requirement for employment, your course fee will be reimbursed if employed by Satiated Artists!
Your creativity isn't a distraction from admin work, it's your edge. These courses teach you to channel artistic instincts into professional skills that make you stand out: emotional intelligence, adaptive problem-solving, and the kind of proactive support that turns clients into long-term partners.
Founder & CEO, Satiated Artists
Laura is a director, writer, and actress who got tired of starving and built the company she wished existed when she was starting out. She draws on her background in theater and film casting to match clients with their ideal administrative support: creative professionals who are then trained through her systematic program, rooted in teaching principles from her MA in Education.
Her approach to hiring, training, and team building has served organizations for over two decades, placing hires that stick long-term and building teams that actually work. Every course in SA Studio comes directly from this training methodology, and the same process that has prepared over 100 working artists for real client engagements.
Satiated Artists was founded on the belief that people thrive when they have enough, and that artists deserve more than the "starving artist" stereotype. Laura's mission is to unite two groups: businesses in need of creative solutions and artists seeking stable income to support their creative passions, and to prove that the result is better for everyone.
"The course gave us a shared language and framework for the things we knew we should be doing but weren't quite making space for. We got to apply it immediately with a client project which really helped us clarify roles and communication. As a result we are more clear and coordinated in our approach. And as a manager I feel more relaxed about how this project will unfold even when we have had to pivot and adapt. I'm so glad we went through the training together!"
Owner and Founder, Kate Harris Group
"As an artist, this course helped me hone my creative process and implement trusted strategies with clarity and efficiency. The course was easy to follow along and the resources shared are ones I know I'll continue to refer to as my work deepens. Going through it with Kate created a bridge in our work together so that we can continue to be a united and cohesive team."
Artful Admin
Whether you're looking to hire a trained Artful Admin, upskill your current team, or build these skills yourself, the first step is the same.
