Carla White created her first successful iPhone app Gratitude Journal (iTunes link) during the hours of 5 - 7am before going to her day job. Because it was so successful, she created another app, Vision Board (iTunes link).
She is not an iPhone developer, yet one day she decided to create an app, and she discovered a way of doing it with just $500.
Gratitude Journal was released on December 12, 2008 and shot up to #2 in the Lifestyles category within it's first week. It remains in the top ten and more importantly, has received nearly all five star reviews. It also received top reviews from Macworld, AppCraver, and many other sites. Recently, Apple requested the rights to feature it in their advertising.
Carla does all the designs, manages the development, created Happytapper.com, and does all the promotion herself. She is a one person show.
Combining her iPhone development experience together with her design and project management knowledge, Carla has created a successful process to bring app ideas to market faster. Using this process, Carla continues to create more iPhone apps while sharing everything she learns along the way.
