Becoming great at anything

Using AI has really helped me explore a lot of ideas. It was fun being able to test this prototype directly on my device.👏

@thedennisobaro1 Right

If Mobbin is your only source of inspiration, AI will outdesign you. AI is trained on existing designs; it's the ultimate copycat. Your edge is sourcing inspiration from places it hasn't looked. The Bento grid everyone's slapping on landing pages? It came from a Japanese lunchbox. That's the skill to build, pulling references from architecture, nature, food systems, cultural artifacts, anything outside a screen. The designers who'll stay relevant aren't the ones with the biggest Figma component libraries. They're the ones who find design language in unexpected places. That's a skill AI can't replicate. Yet.

@_olsam @statsdesign Lovely

Check in on your people ☑️

@imuratalpay It gets better trust me and it would definitely Keep your heads up it would work out

@Designguymarv If work was my only problem, maybe I could handle it. But there are a lot of other things I’m dealing with too, and this is just one of the things weighing me down. That’s why I’ve honestly lost most of my hope and excitement for anything lately. Thank you for the support.

after 11 years working in product design, this might honestly be my last month in the industry. i didn’t want to write a post like this, but the last 6 months have been extremely difficult both financially and mentally. i lost clients to AI. potential freelance leads ghosted me. a client scammed me out of $6,000 and mocked my work afterward. i spent months building an app for Apple, and just when things started going well, my developer account was terminated after a small mistake and a complaint. the revenue inside the account was locked as well. despite all of this, i didn’t stop working. i kept learning, building, experimenting with AI products, coding, motion, and trying to adapt to where the industry is heading. but the reality is: i haven’t been able to secure a new client for months. if i can’t find a new opportunity within the next couple of weeks, i may have to leave the design industry entirely and start over in a different field. so if you know anyone hiring for product design, AI product work, creative direction, or vibe coding related roles, i’d genuinely appreciate a referral or even just a repost. thank you for reading 🤍

@darylginn @abdul_uxui 😂

@abdul_uxui It's a sure fire way to get blocked that's for sure.

Is this allowed? 👀 @darylginn

@orevbajohn_ Nice work 👏

Swap screen flow with set slippage rate - built with Claude code

Your bank is now linked to Abstrct.🎉

@nickbakeddesign @kemsdesigns Correct

left: what ai can do for you right: what i can do for your product left: ai helps you to ideate & test right: build products that win Everyone has AI. Very few have taste.

@leyeConnect It adds life basically

This is proof that motion design when done right makes things incredible better by restoring intent to an object, because most still images of this car looks like a scaled up version of a toy; very stiff and lacking in distinction, far removed from the visual DNA of a Ferrari.

@Atomthecreator Nice 👍

POV: A designer said “screw it, Vibecoding isn’t that hard. Result? This premium Aura landing page. Apple-level polish. Built with Figma + Antigravity + Claude and Higgsfield and pure vibes. The future isn’t coming, it’s already here.

@leyeConnect @elitethedev Horsepower leye 🔥

I want to run with horses and I want to overtake them.

Success State Confetti🎊

Linking a bank account on Abstrct.🛠️ I explored animated modals that grow in size as you progress through each step. The previous content slides off to the left side and the modal grows or reduces in size as the next step expands in .

@pixelbyayo Exactly and we're getting there 😃

@Designguymarv It’s now about how wild you can imagine

It’s crazy what you can do with LLMs now. At this point, everything comes down to ideas😃.

@leyeConnect Give me work and i will invest🤣

@Designguymarv Please invest don’t just inspect the app 😂

So much updates have been done, coming to an Hisa app near you. Keep your eyes peeled!
