Where ideas are born
Your craft projects deserve a space as creative as you are. Design Wall is the simple, friendly planning app I created with my husband—helping you gather inspiration, organise your thoughts, and bring your ideas to life.
Free to use. No credit card. No complicated setup.
"Why isn't there something simpler?"
I've been crafting all my life. Whether I'm piecing together an intricate quilt, planning a room makeover, or learning a new technique, I love that moment when an idea starts to take shape.
But when it came to planning my projects—gathering images, jotting down notes, keeping track of supplies—nothing quite worked. Note-taking apps were either ridiculously complicated (who needs real-time collaboration for a sewing project?) or frustratingly rigid, forcing me to work their way instead of my way.
And the prices? Don't get me started.
So I asked my husband Harry, who happens to be a web developer, a simple question: "Can't you make something better?"
Together, we created Design Wall.
A space that works the way you think
Design Wall gives you a blank canvas—quite literally—where you can arrange everything for your project exactly how you want it.
Drop in inspiration
Drag photos straight from your folders. Grab images from the web. Keep all your visual ideas in one place where you can actually see them together.
Jot down thoughts
Quick notes, detailed plans, or just those middle-of-the-night ideas you don't want to forget. Write as much or as little as you need.
Keep track of tasks
Tick off your to-do lists as you go. Show or hide completed items. Change colours and sizes so the important stuff stands out.
Save useful websites
That tutorial you'll need later? The supplier with the perfect buttons? Drop the links straight onto your canvas—complete with little icons so you can find them instantly.
Organise information
Simple tables for comparing fabrics, tracking measurements, or listing materials. Not as complicated as a spreadsheet, but more structured than a note.
Make it yours
Move things around until they feel right. Resize cards. Overlap them. Change colours and fonts. There's no 'correct' way to use Design Wall—it adapts to you.
Made for crafters, not corporations
Simple enough to use right now
No tutorials to watch before you can start. No overwhelming menus. Just click or tap to add a card, then fill it with whatever you need. If you can use a tablet or computer, you can use Design Wall.
Works on whatever you're using
Prefer planning on your iPad whilst curled up on the sofa? Perfect. Like to spread things out on your desktop computer? Equally perfect. Design Wall works beautifully on both.
Your ideas stay private
No one can see your canvases unless you choose to share them. We're not mining your data or showing you adverts. This is your creative space.

A tool born from frustration
Design Wall came about because I was fed up with overcomplicated apps that cost the earth. I wanted something simple and affordable for planning my craft projects. Harry, my web developer husband, built it with me. Together, we're crafters first, tech people second.
We're not a faceless corporation. We're two people who believe your creative projects deserve better tools—tools that help rather than hinder, that get out of your way so you can focus on what matters: bringing your ideas to life.
