Invite only
The Inner Circle.
A small group of designers shaping the Designer Portal before the rest of the world gets it — and keeping a painting for the trouble.
Hi — I’m Chloë. I started Acrylic to put art direction back in designers’ hands, and we’ve just built the tool that does it. Before we open the doors, I want a handful of designers I trust to get in, push on everything, and tell me what’s wonderful and what’s broken.
You’d design a piece in the portal — for your own home, a gift, or a project you’ve been dreaming about. Our studio paints it and ships it to you, and it’s yours to keep. All I ask in return is fifteen honest minutes: what worked, what didn’t, and what you’d need before you’d trust a real project to it.
We’re inviting a few people at a time, so I can give everyone real attention. If an invite code brought you here, you’re already in — come say hi.
Thank you for being part of the Acrylic story.

How it goes.
- 01
Use your invite code
It skips the portal waitlist — your seat is already approved.
- 02
Book fifteen minutes with me
I’ll walk you through the portal myself and we’ll say a proper hello. Grab a slot on my calendar.
- 03
Get designing
A piece for your home, a gift, or a space from one of your projects — tell the portal about the room it will live in.
- 04
Send it to us, not to checkout
Your piece doesn't go through billing. When it feels right, submit it to our team — we'll check it's paintable and fine-tune the details with you.
- 05
Approve it for production
You sign off before a brush moves. Then our studio gets to work.
- 06
The feedback call
Fifteen minutes: what you loved, what fought you, what you’d need before running a client project through it. Same calendar.
- 07
Hang it, and send me a photo
I would love to see where it ends up living. And if you're happy for us to share the reveal, we'd be thrilled.
The nuts and bolts.
Once you’re in, here’s exactly where to go. It takes about a minute to learn.
- 01
Log in and enter your code
It carries you straight past the waitlist — no application, no waiting.
- 02
Start a project, then pick the right door
You’ll see two paths. Choose Craft Your Artwork — the single-piece flow. (The other, Build a Story, plans a whole project’s art direction. Lovely, but save it for a real project — you’re here for one great piece.)
- 03
Answer three quick questions
Where the project is, what kind of space it is, and what you’re picturing — upload a reference image if you have one, or just describe it. Then Craft mockup, and your first piece appears about thirty seconds later.
- 04
Then play
Edit Piece changes one region and leaves the rest alone. Try again reworks the prompt and regenerates. New piecestarts fresh. Make as many as you like — your run of the portal is unlimited, so design to your heart’s content. And jot down anything that feels confusing or slow as you go; those notes are half the gift.
- 05
Land on the one
When a piece feels right, hit Claim my painting — that sends it to our team, not to a checkout. Then book your feedback call with me: you’ll show me the piece, tell me everything, and my team checks it’s paintable, paints it, and ships it to you.
The questions people ask.
Is it really free?+
Really. The painting is yours — designed by you, painted by our studio, shipped to your door. All we hope for is the feedback chat and a photo of it at home on your wall (and we'll always ask before sharing it anywhere).
Does it have to be for my home?+
No — home, office, a gift, or a piece for a live project all work. Wherever it's going, tell the portal about the space; the piece comes out better when it's designed for a real wall.
I don't have a code. Can I get in?+
We’re looking for interior designers who choose art for real spaces — hospitality, commercial, residential. If that’s you, tell me a little about yourself and what you’re working on: chloe@acrylicrobotics.ca.
What happens after my painting arrives?+
You stay in. Inner Circle members keep portal access, see new features first, and have my ear — and when you're ready to run a real project through it, you already know the way.
If a code found its way to you, come on in.
We add a few designers at a time — and if you write, it’s me who answers.
