This obviously turned out unreal (no surprise there!) but also just wanted to say that this is the most informative, useful and interesting sponsorship I have seen for an app from a creator while also holding my interest! Super useful to see exactly how you have integrated it into your process, showing ways that you have found it useful and used in previous projects. Very well done, hope more come your way girl!!🤍🤍

Love this! I appreciate you sharing the behind the scenes of your design process and thought organization. I’m not a hardcore DIYer but I think this app may help me with general home design. Sometimes I get ideas for spaces, buy things, hate them, sell and rebuy stuff. The app could help me be more intentional about my home spaces so I’m definitely going to play around with it! Also the cabinet is so amazing I think for me the only think I would do for myself is put wheels on the bottom instead of legs so you could wheel the drawers up to your workstation if you wanted.... just an idea
