The web design industry adores buzzwords. We use them to describe everything from design fads (hello, Claymorphism ) to build technologies (nice to know you, headless ). It makes sense, as there needs to be a common way to refer to these entities. But sometimes these terms end up being incredibly abstract. And that can lead some unscrupulous people to leverage a buzzword for profit – even if there’s nothing much to sell just yet.

From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.

I spend an abnormal amount of time in my bathroom, mostly curating my shelves and applying toners, serums, and moisturizers (in that order). And if there was ever a spot in my apartment that could use a makeover (trust that there are plenty), the bathroom is at the top of the list. Sadly, retiling the floor and swapping out the vanity were all out of the question lest I kiss my security deposit goodbye, so I embarked on a mission to transform my bathroom through decor alone.
