With Canoa, we love that we can replicate the collaborative in-person design process online. A shared design board centralizes all project information, allowing us to focus fully on the design. Canoa's integrated features keep our inspiration, drawings, and design collateral easily accessible. This seamless integration not only enhances communication but also streamlines decision-making, enabling faster iterations and more cohesive design outcomes. By keeping the entire team aligned and up-to-date in real-time, we can ensure a smoother workflow from concept to completion, improving both efficiency and creativity. - Daisy Hook

Canoa's integrated product tool has made our specification process much easier. We can quickly add products to our designs without worrying about coordinating every little detail, which saves us a lot of time. It's especially useful for projects, where clients are more involved in the process. The tool makes it simple to manage updates and navigate through design options. Plus, with features like Pinterest and AutoCAD integration, everything flows smoothly into our presentations and product lists, making collaboration effortless. - Amanda Swain
