Creator's Block #49: 7 Creative Apps & Tools We’re Thankful For [Podcast]

While Jessie-Lee, Marcella, and I would love to pretend our moments of creative genius are an effortless and ever-flowing constant, that's not reality. 

Do we have talent in spades? Of course.

But, in addition to our education and experience, each of us calls upon a different set of applications and tools in our own creative toolboxes to execute, create, and deliver for our colleagues and clients. 

So, this week, in honor of Thanksgiving, we're pulling back the curtain on a few of the simple, yet powerful apps we're most thankful for. 

They help us with our day-to-day tasks, inspire us, and -- on occasion -- utterly transform how we do our jobs.

(And trust us when we say you don't need to be a creative professional to use them -- we have a sneaking suspicion many of you marketers out there will love a few of these, as well.)

Enjoy!
