Your work, your drafts, your next move.

This dashboard is the creator’s base inside Burnt Honey. It should make it easy to start a submission, return to drafts, track review status, and keep profile details ready for future publishing or commission opportunities.

profile readiness

Account setup should support publishing and hiring later

This is where creator profile fields start becoming important. The dashboard should gently push people to complete the details that make submissions and artist discovery work better.

Creator identity

Name, display name, contact email, and short bio.

Portfolio readiness

Links, featured images, medium tags, and commission availability.

Submission readiness

Saved drafts, uploaded files, and required publishing details completed.

What the dashboard should help users do next

These action blocks become the real product priorities for the logged-in experience.

Immediate actions

  • Continue editing a draft
  • Review submission guidelines
  • Update account or profile details

System requirements this implies

  • Authenticated user session
  • Submission records tied to account ownership
  • Status tracking per submission

notifications

Messages and status changes belong here

Later, this can hold real review feedback, admin requests for changes, and publishing updates.

Profile incomplete

Add your creator bio and preferred contact details before sending new work for review.

Review update available

Your project “Velvet Static” has moved into review. This message area should link directly to the submission detail view.

Draft waiting

You still have unfinished drafts. The dashboard should make returning to them obvious and fast.
