[OH Updates] user-based innovation?

[Catarina Mota]

Thanks Leah! Can you share any info on how the project was developed, i.e.
what prompted Kate and Rob to design it, how it went from idea to design to
manufacturing, etc.?

I'm also mentioning botanicalls on my thesis and already got the story of
how it came to be from Tom Igoe :)
