Going from a breadboard prototype to a PCB design and build

Hi folks, have Googled and browsed this forum and not found my answer, so posting!

I've got a breadboard project with which I'm happy -- a clock that counts time in three different ways, built from an Arduino Uno Rev2 Wifi board with three 4-digit 7seg displays, a DS3231 RTC and a pushbutton control. Now I'd like to build a nice desk clock based on this design.

I'd like to create a PCB design of my own, based on the components I've chosen, but with extraneous components (eg, sensors on the Uno) stripped out, the breadboard-friendly connectors gone, and as much of the wiring and circuitry buried in the board as possible. I will want to have that board manufactured and do the surface-mount soldering of components on my own.

I'm an MSEE from 1992, comfortable with circuit design but with dusty skills, just starting to learn EasyEDA. I'd love to find tutorials that would speed me on my way. In particular, where can I find an EasyEDA (or other) compatible diagram and PCB layout for the Arduino Uno Rev2 Wifi board from which I can remove the unneeded components and connectors, and that I can incorporate into my own design? Others must have walked this road before me -- did anyone leave a map?

Happy to RTFM if you will point me at TFM!
