This design software empowers you to create beautiful concept boards, manage your product library (with the option to add your own using their convenient product clipper), generate shopping lists, streamline client communication through a private portal, and so much more! I'm a huge advocate for this software; their customer service is truly unmatched. Fun fact: I've accumulated over 7,000 products in my library! 🤯
Meet your ultimate social media planner: Planoly. This user-friendly platform allows you to schedule, save, and organize your content seamlessly. I've relied on Planoly for years to schedule my Instagram posts, and its auto-posting feature is a game-changer for batch content creation and visualizing your feed's aesthetics.
Canva is a staple in my toolkit, and for good reason—it's incredibly versatile! Whether you're using the free or pro version, you don't need a background in graphic design to create stunning visuals. I utilize the pro version for everything from social media posts to client presentations and branded documents. I love consistent branding, and that’s how I achieve it using Canva.
I was looking for a website template that wasn’t breaking the bank, and I’m so glad I found GoLive. I purchased my SquareSpace template in 2020, and I couldn't be happier! They have so many beautiful semi-custom options available for multiple industries. Use code ARIANEDESIGNCO10 for 10% off your order.
Streamline your discovery call bookings with Calendly—it's a breeze to use! Not only does it make your business look more professional, but you also have the option to include pre-meeting questions to better understand your potential clients. I've been using the free version since the beginning, and it's never let me down. Trust me, Calendly is a must-have!
Prioritizing your mental health is paramount, especially as an interior design professional. Enter Peloton—my go-to for daily workouts and mindfulness sessions. My favourite workouts are pilates, full-body strength training, spin classes, and meditation. Find me on the app, AloYVR, and let’s workout together!
