Keeping track of emergency designers might sound unusual at first—but for teams that rely on quick turnaround for urgent design emergencies—like emergency UI fixes or time-sensitive digital repairs—it becomes non-negotiable. You don’t just need someone who can work swiftly in chaos—you need someone who resonates with your brand identity and can shift direction instantly without compromising quality. That’s why building a Notion-powered emergency designer database is a smart move.

Start by creating a database in Notion called "Emergency Designers". Each entry should represent one designer and include fields like name, phone number + email, on-call status, найти дизайнера response time, previous work samples, and core competencies. Use multi-select properties to label their strengths such as UI, mobile-first design, responsive websites, identity design, or physical collateral. This lets you quickly identify the right expert based on the nature of the crisis.

Implement a 1-to-5 evaluation scale. Create a scale from 1 to 5 to rate each designer after every crisis response. After the job is done, spend just a few moments to record their performance. Did they meet the deadline? Did the output match your standards? Were their updates timely and transparent? Were they easy to work with under stress? Don’t sugarcoat it. These ratings will help you spot patterns over time.

Add a rich text field for observational notes. Maybe one designer always delivers ahead of schedule but needs a few rounds of feedback. Another Sarah’s work is pristine—no edits needed. Those details are invaluable when you need to choose who to call next.

You can also add a "Last Used" date to see who’s been active and who might be out of practice. If someone has been inactive for half a year, consider reviving the relationship. You don’t want to let a valuable asset go cold just because they’ve been quiet.

To elevate your system, attach a linked database page with their past work gallery or previous emergency case studies. This way, when you’re panicking mid-crisis, you can quickly review their output instead of guessing.

Create a crisis-ready dashboard sorted by score + recency. Make this your go-to dashboard during a crisis. No more desperate DMs or guessing who’s available.

This Notion approach transforms your scattered designers into an organized, responsive team. Over time, you’ll cultivate a go-to crew and stay calm when deadlines loom. It’s not just about quick replies—it’s about quality and confidence. And that’s worth the few minutes it takes to keep your database updated.
