Predict your success AND 10× your next home reno
Nov 24, 2025
New week, new iPad + AI hack for ANY of your home reno or design projects, plus a huge dose of inspiration on why our secretly dreamed-of, long-awaited success is actually predictable.
In other words: THE newsletter on how art paired with modern tools can make your projects and life CREATIVELY LIMITLESS.
First, take a look at these images: a fully hand-drawn, from-scratch, TO-SCALE sketch followed by… an AI render created in SECONDS based on that quick iPad drawing.
Tools used: Procreate + ChatGPT.
Why do some people think you must use paid AI subscriptions? PLEASE. We’re here to make life easier, not overcomplicate it. And the reason ChatGPT works SO WELL is because we give it the template (a truly genius description) for the AI render.
This works for ANY space and with ANY level of drawing experience. It makes you feel like an artist without the mess of materials or the pressure to create a masterpiece every time you pick up a pencil. This is exactly why I’ve been pitching this method for ALMOST 9 YEARS. Imagine that. (Okay, AI arrived this year, but the foundation was built on my own struggles!)
I know I’m not the only one who was SO frustrated with how long it took to learn those computer render programs. And even if you somehow found the time, the results looked SO FLAT, average, and inflexible! Gosh, it’s been almost a decade, and I still get frustrated just thinking about them!
Why should you waste your PRECIOUS time learning how to stare at a screen and follow someone else’s idea of how creativity “should” work instead of taking back control and bringing YOUR ideas to life with a method that blends the charm of traditional drawing with the flexibility, speed, and ease of modern tools?
And let’s be honest, even drawing on paper isn’t the most flexible approach. I used to draw all my designs by hand until I realized that testing new ideas meant re-drawing the entire space, which wasn’t much more efficient than those computer renders...
And this is where the iPad comes in.
Draw your space ONCE, then test-test-test, just like in today’s example of my home office. Draw it once, and then create storage options on separate layers for maximum flexibility. And I don’t even need to mention how practical it is to carry around 200+ colors and brush types in ONE single digital pen.
This actually has A LOT to do with mindset. And before I dive deep into that, I want you to know that I’m here to show you how to do ALL of this.
That’s why I don’t want you to miss the latest update about my signature drawing program - THE one where you learn EVERYTHING about designing and drawing on the iPad before it retires FOREVER. 
I explained the “why” and “what’s next” in THIS NEWSLETTER, but you still have exactly one week to learn how to draw your ideas just like I do:

And now… THE insight of all insights:
You can predict your future. Your success at work. EVERYTHING!
Even with computer renders - this is what we were taught, right? So we automatically use them for our home renos without considering there might be an alternative. But when we open our energy to exploring life beyond what we know - THAT is where magic happens.
Here, you're open to testing a new method because you know it will bring you closer to your desired results: standing out in your field, saving time and money (not to mention how expensive 3D renders are and how long all the revisions and back-and-forth with a designer take).
When you believe there’s a better way… well, Anna writes you this newsletter lol. You get the idea :D
I want to remind us of this once again, especially for the start of a new week:
People project their own fears and unfulfilled dreams onto us.
Because in THEIR world, that’s the limit of what they’re capable of and they don’t even see that limitation. They think what they tell us is TRUTH. But the real truth is… your own belief. That’s the truth that matters.
Want to build a powerful name in the design world? Know deep inside that you already ARE that person. Do the work, and it will work.
IT WILL WORK.
If you’re still reading this, it means my message resonates with you, and that means you’re absolutely on the right path with your creative endeavors.
With big drawing energy,
Anna at @andshedrawsbig
