It’s a new year and the time when teams look to the months ahead with unblinking optimism. Maybe you’ve already planned a strategy to delight your core customer and focus on product innovation. Or perhaps you’re still working toward alignment on high-level goals. No matter which stage you’re in — goal-setting, planning, or execution — it’s all hard work.
It’s been a couple months since Miro’s acquisition of Freehand, and I want to give you an update on where we’re heading with the combination of Freehand and Miro.

Many of you might only know Miro as the visual collaboration workspace, but we also have a Developer Platform, an ecosystem of tools and services that supports and accelerates app development on top of Miro.
As 2023 winds down, you might already be thinking about setting goals and resolutions for the new year. But to grow, learn, and improve, you must first take time for reflection.

Becca Grischow can outline an entire novel in just under an hour. You might be thinking, well that’s probably because she’s had a lot of practice. That’s true. Grischow is a Chicago-based author who has worked on more than 50 written and ghostwritten books. But there’s one other factor that makes her a storyboarding whiz: Miro.
