An Unfiltered Chat About Life as a Designer Right Now
No script, no plan, just a real sit down chat. 🤍
My new motto lately is to just show up, so today I’m sharing what’s been going on behind the scenes. We bought a house (!!), I’m stepping into a new season of life, and I’m sharing my honest thoughts on the news that Meta can now scan our artwork on Instagram. I talk about how I’m protecting my work, why I’m leaning even harder into YouTube, and why I think human-made design is about to matter more than ever.
Grab a coffee and let’s chat. I’d love to hear where you’re at in the comments. ☕️
