Apps make life easier for you in 100 different ways. But for interior designers, there are four that can really be game changers. Darla and Natalie break them down on this episode.

The first app the two recommend is a graphic design program that is cop- and firefighter-proof: Canva. Canva is an online app that’s plug and play and allows you to make pro-level graphics with a minimum of sweat. Up next is a task-tracking app that has made a huge difference at Wingnut Social, allowing everyone to see who needs to do what to keep a project moving. 

The third app Darla and Natalie recommend is Slack. If you’ve never used Slack, it’s like a group-text for work, where everyone can see what’s happening. It’s a really powerful tool that allows you to discuss projects even if some of your staff are remote, you can create different channels for different clients or topics. You can DM and you can have public conversations. It really does change how a workplace communicates. And the fourth app? Well, you’ll have to listen to find out what that is (and don’t scroll down any further).
