THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CRAZY ENOUGH TO THINK THEY CAN CHANGE THE WORLD, ARE THE ONES WHO DO.

@sama Design

what problem do you most hope AI will solve in the future? maybe we can help!

JUST IN: OpenAI is reportedly preparing to file for an IPO as early as Friday.

@sketch 🤣🤣

@sketch are you still alive? 😂 I think your own designers are using Figma as well 😂

Apple just dropped a new WWDC26 logo animation 👀

This could be the end of WordPress, Joomla, and other CMSs. It could also be the end of traditional drag-and-drop web design platforms. I believe @Lovable is currently the best web design platform.

Apple’s Liquid Glass won 4 awards at the ADC Annual Awards, including: 🥇 Gold in Interactive / UX / UI 🥈 Silver in Experiential Design / Digital Experiences 🥉 Bronze in Experiential Design / Consumer Experience 🥉 Bronze in Innovation

Wise man said only fools rush in… But…

USA has ChatGPT USA has Grok USA has Claude USA has Gemini USA has Llama USA has Copilot China has DeepSeek China has Qwen China has Ernie China has GLM China has Kimi China has MiniMax Europe has?

Now we’re on the App Store 🤘🤘

@TTrimoreau $200 Cursor is far more useful than $200 Claude or $200 Codex.

Hot take: $200 Claude Pro is way more useful than $200 Codex Plus

There are a thousand no’s for every yes.

“We simplify We perfect We start over Until every thing we touch Enhances each life It touches. Only then do we sign our work. Designed by Apple in California” WWDC13

“There are a thousand no’s for every yes.” If we truly understand just this one sentence, it’s enough.

Designing something requires focus the first thing we ask is what do we want people to feel? Delight Surprise Love Connection then we begin to craft around our intention it takes time. WWDC13

“If everyone is busy making everything, how can anyone perfect anything?” WWDC13. Need to remind myself of this once in a while.

Human Creativity, Amplified by AI Artificial Intelligence has become one of the most important creative and professional tools of our time. Yet strangely, many people still hesitate to openly admit they use it. Designers avoid mentioning that AI helped them develop concepts. Managers hide the fact that AI assisted in writing reports or analyzing data. Developers quietly use AI-generated code while pretending every line came from hours of manual effort. Even writers often avoid admitting that AI helped organize, refine, or expand their ideas. As if using modern tools somehow reduces the value of human intelligence. Humanity really does have a strange habit of worshipping efficiency only after resisting it first. This mindset needs to change. Using AI should not be viewed as cheating, laziness, or a shortcut. It should be seen as intelligence in action. Every major technological advancement in history was initially criticized before becoming standard. Calculators did not destroy mathematics. Cameras did not destroy art. Computers did not destroy creativity. Instead, they expanded human potential and allowed people to work faster, think bigger, and focus more deeply on innovation. AI is simply the next evolution of that process. As a web designer, I see AI as an amplifier of creativity rather than a replacement for it. The true value of a designer has never been the physical act of moving pixels or typing code line by line. The real value lies in vision, taste, decision-making, problem-solving, storytelling, and understanding human behavior. AI cannot replace those qualities. What it can do is eliminate unnecessary friction between an idea and its execution. When repetitive tasks are automated, creative people gain something extremely valuable: time. And time changes everything. A designer who spends less time on technical repetition can spend more time refining user experience, improving branding, experimenting with ideas, and building more meaningful products. A manager who uses AI for analysis can focus more on strategy and leadership. A writer who uses AI assistance can explore more concepts and communicate more effectively. The people who openly embrace AI are not “less creative.” In many cases, they are maximizing their creativity by removing limitations that once slowed them down. There is also an honesty problem in modern industries. Many professionals already rely heavily on AI but avoid admitting it because they fear judgment. Ironically, the companies and individuals achieving the fastest growth today are often the ones integrating AI deeply into their workflows. The stigma exists mostly because society is still emotionally adjusting to the speed of technological change. Humans do this every time. First denial, then fear, then acceptance, then dependency. Civilization basically runs on delayed reactions and coffee. The future will not belong to people who avoid AI. It will belong to people who know how to direct it intelligently. AI is not replacing creativity. It is exposing who actually has it. Proudly written with AI assistance.

It feels like you’re using a Surface Book or something…

Today I went to the Apple Store to take another look at the MacBook Neo. Honestly, it doesn’t feel like something Apple made… MAGA Make Apple Great Again!
