“but does it solve anyone’s problem?”

my husband asked me this yesterday while clicking through the Christmas movie advent calendar I’m building 🎄

It started as a template. Then I got carried away, and now I want to launch it, promote it, maybe submit it to Awwwards. Who’s going to stop me? I’m having fun with it 🫠

For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. Then I realised: yes, it does. Mine.

I wanted to make something of my own. Something I could design, build, get attached to, and actually put out into the world.

I’ve heard “a product should solve someone’s problem” so many times that I almost forgot my own reasons count too.

When was the last time you made something just because you wanted to? Before wondering whether anyone would like it, use it, or think it was worth making?

Keeping up with how fast technology moves can feel overwhelming. But these tools have also made it possible for me to finally bring an idea like this to life — and that means a lot to me, both as a designer and as a person.

Maybe it’s a small thing. I’m still really happy I’m making it 🤎

i need this in december
