FutureFabU

About Us

FutureFabU was born out of the frustration my daughter and I felt while navigating the college admissions journey for 3+ years.

We realized there were no personal, customizable systems available to centralize and streamline the college application process across many schools (aside from hiring an expensive College Planner) that were digital, shareable, & mobile.

Even though we were quite tech-savvy & organized, 3 years of college research, planning, and prep became very overwhelming.

And getting accepted is just part of the process.

  • Nothing was centralized in one location: even with helpful college admissions websites

  • Spent 100s of hours researching & writing notes from various sources in post-its & notebooks

  • Trouble keeping up with deadlines : each college application has a million "to-do's"

  • Applying to schools is a marathon, not a sprint : being disorganized without a system or strategy does not help

  • Unless you're willing to spend thousands on hiring a professional college planner, you're on your own

  • Exhausting process : I knew we had to repeat this in 2 years with her younger brother

So I decided to do something about this college app mess....

1. NOTION

I've been using Notion for work for a year and have been absolutely blown away with what it can do. Since using it, my photography business content creation, workflows, and time management have skyrocketed. A light bulb went off when I realized creating a Notion database for college planning could transform the entire process for my family.

2. TEMPLATE CREATION

Being fresh off of getting our daughter settled onto her new college campus, I gathered all my notes and reviewed our family calendar, to-do lists, and college planning resources. I got to work creating a Notion database to house all the information, processes, links, and deadlines in one spot. My son & I will be organized & ready for graduation 2026.

3. MARKET RESEARCH

Putting the new database to use, I started wondering if this could help others. Besides hiring an expensive college planner, researching higher education websites, trying to meet with overworked public HS counselors, there were ZERO PERSONAL DIGITAL SYSTEMS available to help families navigate one of the most important milestones in your teen's life.

4. HELP FAMILIES
