We’ve officially reached the point where it’s easier & takes less time to deliver a fully coded app to a client than it does to design it by hand in Figma.

Getting good at world building will make you better at branding by default.

When you look back, you’ll wish you’d just done the long-term version of everything.

AI is making it much easier for amateur designers to find references, imitate them quickly, and look talented on social. It’s never been easier to look good without being good. Best of luck to clients out there

Conduct an experiment: Pretend. Pretend that you’re capable of more. Pretend that you’re destined for greatness. Pretend that everything you do will work out perfectly for you, with or without your conscious effort applied. Pretend that every single thing in the universe is coordinating together for your maximal growth and enjoyment. Just pretend.

Taste isn't "does it look good." It's "does this serve the user, the product, and the business at the same time?" That's the skill AI can't replicate. And most designers don't invest in building it.

something has changed where the bottleneck is now almost solely design, which is where the time gained from coding agents should be spent less time coding = more time perfecting

2026 branding: IN / OUT IN Warmth + optimism Being a little weird Painterly backgrounds Fun mascots Playfulness Nostalgia Imperfection Boldness Off-white backgrounds One color that feels wrong Asymmetry Light mode Type with a little funk Visible grain Natural texture Analog references OUT Ultra-polish Purple Predictable gradients Hyper-futurism Fitting in Minimalism Cold palettes Dark mode + one color First-letter logos Safe sans serifs Node/network graphics Photos of people UI-led identity Slickness over emotion ————— 2026 isn’t about looking modern. It’s about looking ALIVE.

Freedom in design is being hired for your style and taste and not what the industry dictates.

Most senior+ designers don’t share client work because they’re too busy working on shit.

Life in front of the screen is the worst way to live but it's the best way to make a living. Spend too much time online and you lose yourself. Spend too much time offline and the future runs away from you. Challenging balance to strike. Requires active testing to find your groove
