I’m seeing a lot of AI-generated visuals lately.
But most creatives never hold a camera in their hands. And that’s a real problem.
Using a camera develops taste. It gives you a sense of balance and teaches you how to translate emotion through the lens. You start to understand color on a totally different level.
If you don’t have a camera yet, get one. It will change you as a creative forever.
That’s how I practiced yesterday 👇
Yes for sure, nothing compares to the real thing. I love also about cinema and even run and go shooting, is the "happy accidents". Sometimes the best shots are just capturing life happen in real time. With that said, I've been using AI a lot as I don't have the time or budget to...
You’re absolutely right!

AI didn't take my job. It became my business partner.
Every designer I know is asking the same question right now: what's left for us when AI can make something pretty in 10 seconds?
Here's my honest answer, from branding and from product.
The way I work has completely changed. Moodboards, variations, mockups, even clickable prototypes: what used to take days now takes hours.
But here's what nobody says out loud: people are making a lot of pretty things. And pretty doesn't build a brand.
Pretty doesn't tell a stranger why they should trust you.
Pretty doesn't make your offer clear in 5 seconds.
Pretty doesn't fix the screen where users give up.
That part is still on me. It's actually most of my job now.
So I stopped seeing AI as a competitor. It does the drafts, I do the thinking, and my clients get both, faster.
Designers, how has AI changed the way you work this year?
Wonderful presentation and I like your thought you shared
Weekly filming makes consistent video hard. Generic scripts can make your expertise sound interchangeable.
Here's how to turn your ideas into regular videos without filming every week.
My process:
1. AI agents help with ideas and research
2. AI first-draft scripting. Make sure you shape the message around your expertise and voice.
3. Review and approve the script before the avatar video is produced.
4. Schedule or hit publish!
The clip below is one finished example from my own socials. I use the same process with clients.
If you’re camera shy or too busy to film, book a call and bring one topic you’re thinking about sharing. Let's chat!
