It was a packed house for the October meetup! New faces and regular members came together to learn about each other’s projects, share updates, and network.

Guest speaker Destiny Sambulá shared her inspiring journey building the Lap Vanity, the world’s lightest and most portable vanity, created entirely without prior experience in product design or manufacturing.

Key takeaways from her talk included:

• The importance of believing in your vision even when the path feels unclear
• The power of social media & building in public and how it grew her following pre-launch
• How perseverance, resourcefulness, and continuous problem-solving helped her overcome major setbacks
• You don’t need to know everything up front. Learn what you need as you build.

The audience loved hearing her candid behind-the-scenes story and walked away motivated by her determination and creativity. We can’t wait to see what’s next for Destiny & Lap Vanity 🚀
