entrance barrier has lowered by a mile
which led to similarity in styles
which led companies to pay 10x the price for agencies to make sure they'll help them to stand out
if before you needed to compete with thousands of people, now you compete with millions
AI has created a much bigger demand for designers than ever

SMALL MOCKUP TEST. BIG DIFFERENCE. 👀
Same AI Travel App UI.
I changed only the background.
Not the UX.
Not the flow.
Not the product logic.
Just the visual context.
And the darker version instantly made the app feel more premium, focused, and easier to read.
That is why presentation matters in mobile app design.A weak frame can make good UI look average.
A strong frame can make the product feel more valuable before the user even taps anything.Expected impact:`
+35-45% first-screen engagement
+25-30% trip card interaction
+20-28% faster package discovery
+30-40% perceived product value
Sometimes design is not about adding more.Sometimes it is about removing what steals attention.

Love this approach. It's fascinating how design can completely change how people feel while using a product.
I built an anonymous corner for the internet. It's called the Fruit Market. 🍊🍓
Every visitor leaves behind a unique fruit that represents them.
You choose a fruit, give it a label, add a few pieces of identity, and answer a prompt about something you're carrying, longing for, or wishing someone understood.
Then you place it on the shelf.
The result is a market full of anonymous human artifacts:
A mango who is missing home.
A peach who is terrified of graduating.
A dragon fruit who is searching for purpose.
The idea came from a question:
How deeply can we understand each other when names are removed?
Built with Figma and Figma Make on my humble phone and tablet. My goal was to create a whimsical, imperfect, yet vulnerable space that feels somewhere between a community bulletin board, a missed-connections page, and a message in a bottle.
Please, if you’re willing, leave a piece of yourself at the Fruit Market. <3

Wonderful and worth th build
Should brands be beautiful, or impossible to ignore?
When I designed the identity for Sandwich, an advertising agency, I quickly realized that a polished, predictable brand would be the wrong answer.
Inspired by the tight structure of a sandwich, I knew the identity had to feel bold, loud, and unapologetic. The logo and overall identity needed to grab attention.
That is what I find interesting about Neo Brutalism. It strips away the filters and lets the message hit harder with high contrast type and bold colors.
As it's hard to replicate with AI, do you think Neo Brutalism is a lasting design direction?
Neat!
