🎨✨ Navigating license agreements as an artist can feel like a maze. Too often, we’re faced with contracts that lean heavily in favor of clients, leaving us with little protection.
For artists like Zeynep Alpay, finding a way to make these agreements fair and transparent has been a true game changer. Now she can focus on what she does best, creating art, while the details are handled with Yuify.

HOME. by @mahnoorahmad9 🏠☁️🪁📺
What do you see when you close your eyes and you dream of home?
For Mahnoor it`s the home she spent the 90s and early 2000s in.
The rooms brimming with stories and memories of aromas, anecdotes, routines, cozy moments, and a whole lot of love.
Mahnoor drew this from memory, looking at no pictures, because those special moments are forever ingrained as home.
