Brella is reimagining childcare in every dimension: from its gorgeous physical spaces to its fully-flexible booking process. Meeting the needs of modern parents in a way no other childcare centers are and innovating in a crucial industry that hasn’t been reconsidered virtually since its inception, this recognition is well-deserved.

When was the last time you read a really compelling book about changing some aspect of your life - let’s say your diet and nutrition - and then you actually did the work to implement whatever change that book was touting? 

As a designer I love understanding what’s happening in my field. I devour blogs and articles for best practices when it comes to design, and I’m constantly curious about what other designers are thinking…

It’s always exciting when a project we’re passionate about gets recognized. This month, Women’s Health magazine, which reaches over 36 million readers each month, named MyFLO as one of the top period tracking apps in the FemTech awards, for both its function and innovation.
