When on IMVU I love spending time with my family & friends and developing & reading up on helpful tips on developing in the forum.
I started The House Of Designs back in 2008. I was motivated to start developing because I could never find a outfit that had matching shoes back then. I started teaching myself by reading the very helpful tutorials in the IMVU forum & the helpful video located on youtube. In the beginning I only made rooms because that was what I started learning on & moved to furniture. My goal was to one day make clothing. My 1st few attempts at making clothing was horrifying & it made me almost give up more than once because I didn't understand the clothing maps. Once I was told by a good friend to color each part of the map in using a different color it became easier. The rest came with trial & error & ALOT of patience :)
