The Genesis Story: Part 4 ⛓️
Visual creatives need visual solutions. Using a Gemini chat to create and edit art is like trying to paint through a keyhole. By moving the workflow from the chat window into a node graph, the “big picture” is finally visible.
What makes Genesis different?
• BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): Designed to avoid monthly credit caps and expirations. You pay for what you use, directly via Google API.
• Smart Inheritance: Prompts and references flow downstream automatically.
• Identity Lock: Solves the “consistency problem.”
• Style Lock: Avoids uploading multiple references repeatedly.
• The Create Button: Automate the entire workflow.
It’s about reducing the time from “initial spark” to “production-ready asset.”

That keyhole analogy is spot on. Node-based workflows really change how you think about iteration and control.
Absolutely! I know they are intimidating at first but they really unlocked things for me in a way that was missing. I need to SEE things connected. I need to see the flow.

The Genesis Story: Part 3 🧠 If you told me two months ago that I’d be a software designer, I would have laughed.
I’ve always been drawn to creative technology. I started learning Adobe Creative Suite before it was CS. I made art with AI before most knew it could be done. But there is a massive difference between using software and building it from scratch!
The last 6 weeks were a total crash course in software creation. I went from being a generative AI power user to a software designer via vibe-coding. I’d never actually coded, just followed specific tutorials.
Making any program would have been an accomplishment. But making THIS program—a tool that solves the exact workflow frustrations I’ve had—is an indescribable feeling pride.

There’s a massive mindset shift between consuming tools and creating them. You didn’t just learn software you built something meaningful from your own lived experience. That’s real growth.

Quest Dashboard That Makes $
This client runs a gamified neighborhood app. When I joined the project, people loved the idea but skipped most events, so sponsor and ticket revenue stayed flat.
I began with a simple UX review of the sign‑in flow and first screen. The key issue: actions were hidden under icons.
I redesigned the layout with large event cards and direct “Join Event” buttons. UX point: clear visual hierarchy so eyes go from stats to events to chat. Early numbers show more event joins.

Wow this is very amazing
