What if you could go from brand assets to a full ad set in under 5 minutes?
I tested Canva Grow 2.0 from a client's perspective, using the brand identity and website we built for Dulce Oro, a premium agave spirits brand, as the foundation.
The idea was simple: could a client take their existing brand assets and spin up social ad creative without starting from scratch every time?
The output was honestly impressive. On-brand visuals, solid layouts, a full ad set in minutes. For a freelancer, this is the kind of tool that could genuinely expand what you offer clients without adding hours to your workflow.
But here's where I think it still needs work:
The website link sharing didn't pull any context for the AI. PDFs can't be uploaded, so I had to work with images instead. Also, it would have been just the perfect system within canva if they could upload custom fonts, so that brand-specific typography won't get lost in translation.
For clients with strong brand identities, these gaps can be filled to make Canva Grow the ultimate choice. Because the creative is only as good as the brand inputs it's working with.
The walkthrough is in the video above, including where it surprised me and where I had to work around it.
Are you building ad creative for clients inside a single tool yet, or are you still juggling five different platforms to get there?
GREAT pointers Chhavi! If Canva gets the upload fonts feature, it would be a game changer.
What if getting a tattoo felt more like collaborating on a design project than sending messages back and forth on WhatsApp?
That's exactly what I built.
For the @Base44 Glow Up Challenge, I chose a real tattoo studio in Toronto that creates incredible artwork—but whose digital experience didn't match the quality of their craft.
So I rebuilt everything.
🎨 A complete visual redesign
🤖 AI-powered tattoo ideation
💬 Built-in collaboration between artist and client
📅 Integrated scheduling and booking
✨ One platform from first idea to final appointment
I like to describe it as "Figma for tattoo studios."
Instead of scattered conversations across multiple apps, every design, revision, approval, and booking happens in one workspace.

Nice 🔥
For the #Base44GiveItAGlowChallenge, I gave BRKFST & CO.’s original website a complete glow-up using Base44.
The previous Wix site introduced the café, its menu, story, location, and contact details, but it mainly worked as an informational website.
For the new version, I kept BRKFST & CO.’s warm and welcoming personality while transforming the site into a more modern, responsive, and interactive café experience.
What gave it a glow-up?
I redesigned the website using a warm cream, coffee-brown, and golden-yellow visual style, with cleaner layouts, responsive pages, subtle animations, improved menu categories, customer reviews, and a dedicated Visit Us page.
I also added an animated featured-food carousel. Customers can click the food currently displayed and be taken directly to that exact product on the Menu page, where they can choose available options and add it to their cart.
Automations and features I added:
🛒 Dynamic Cart and Checkout
Items added from the Menu automatically appear on the Orders page, where customers can adjust quantities and choose between pickup or delivery.
📦 Automated Order Management
After checkout, the order is automatically saved and displayed in a private Admin Dashboard, where the café team can review order details and update order and payment statuses.
📧 Automatic New-Order Notification
The café admin automatically receives an email notification whenever a new order is successfully submitted.
🤖 Ask BRKFST AI Superagent
I implemented an AI assistant that can help customers with menu questions, store hours, location, ordering, GrabFood, and table reservations.
💳 Flexible Ordering Options
Customers can choose cash or online payment and view a clear breakdown of their order total and delivery fee.
The automated workflow helps reduce the need to manually collect order details from separate messages. Orders are organized in one dashboard, while the café admin is immediately notified whenever a new order is placed.
I also reached out to the café team to verify important business information, including their updated opening hours and reservation availability, so the final app provides more accurate information to customers.
The biggest change is that the website is no longer only a place to view the café. Customers can now explore the menu, interact with featured products, place orders, ask questions, request reservations, and connect with the café all in one experience.
