2025. Make it your boldest prototype yet. Make something that makes people feel seen, heard, and connected.

This year,

Write the case study you’ve been avoiding.
Forgive the design that never shipped.
Forgive the deadline you missed,
Forgive the client who didn’t get it,
Quit the layout that steals your joy.
And above all,
Be unapologetically creative.

This year isn’t about perfection.
It’s about connection.
The kind that bridges
Data and dreams.
Logic and love.
Systems and souls.
Let your grids misalign.
Let your colors clash.
Because brilliance is born
Where perfection ends.

Yes, AI can generate designs, write content,
and probably create a logo
Faster than you can say “Helvetica.”
And here’s the thing:
The algorithm can design a grid,
but it can’t design goosebumps.

AI can spit out ten logo variations,
But it doesn’t know why
Comic Sans makes us cry.
