This whole project is and will always be one of my favorite projects I've done so far not only for the scale of the project but also for how uplifting and positive the whole vibe is. I still pinch myself with joy when I suddenly spot a deck out in the wild or when someone tags me on their Instagram stories saying how much they love the designs. Seeing the designs come to life from my iPad screen and journey into the hands of people all over the world, fills me with immense happiness and makes me fall in love with my craft all over again.
