Wavve Design of the Week
I really like the concept of this wavve video. It has plenty of space to understand the details, uses color to pop off the background, and uses the photo as a textured background as well as a reinforcement of the theme. Nicely done!👏

- Would you buy a podcast if you had $16M? Do you plan on ever selling your show?
