A real design tool, not a form builder

Design Studio is the canvas editor inside Composerie for a product's layered artwork: text, photos, shapes, even street maps and star charts. Design it once, mark the parts customers may change, and publish it straight to your Shopify store.

Composerie Design Studio: the elements panel beside a star map poster design on the canvas

Built like the design apps you already know

Open a product and you get a real canvas: layers you can stack, drag, and group, with snap guides that keep everything lined up. Text, photos, shapes, street maps, and star charts all sit side by side. What you see on the canvas is what ends up on the product.

  • Drag, snap, and group layers like any design app
  • Reorder the stack to control what sits on top
  • Undo any step while you work

You decide what customers can change

Every layer has a switch: locked, or open for personalization. Mark the name line as editable text, turn the photo frame into an upload slot, and keep your logo and layout exactly where you put them. Customers personalize inside the rules you set.

  • Lock any layer so your artwork stays put
  • Set character limits on every text field
  • Pick the fonts and colors customers choose from

Design once, reuse it across your catalog

Save any design as a template and start the next product from it. Same fonts, same layout, new print surface: a mug design becomes a poster without starting over, and your whole shop keeps one consistent look.

Template library with saved designs ready to reuse

What can you put a design on?

Anything with a printable surface. Browse blank mugs, posters, t-shirts, totes, and phone cases from Printful, Printify, and MerchOne, or set up a product you print yourself. The studio treats them all the same way.

Questions, answered

Do I need design experience to use Design Studio?

No. If you've laid out a social post or a slide, you'll feel at home. Snap guides keep things aligned, templates give you a working starting point, and the canvas shows the printable area so nothing lands where it can't print.

Can I upload my own artwork?

Yes. Upload your logo, illustrations, or photos and place them on the canvas as layers, next to anything you build in the studio itself.

How is this different from a form builder?

Form builders bolt input fields onto a product page and hope the result looks right. In Design Studio you design the actual product, then open specific parts of that design to your customers. The preview they see is the design you made.

Does Design Studio work outside Shopify?

Not yet. Composerie is for Shopify stores only, for now. Everything you design publishes straight to your Shopify catalog.
