Every time I sit down to create something — whether it’s a design, a blog, or even a random idea I want to sketch — one thought keeps creeping in: is AI helping me grow, or is it slowly killing my creativity?Maybe you’ve asked yourself the same thing. AI is everywhere. Whether you’re designing a poster, writing an email, or generating social captions, chances are you’ve used some AI tool. The truth isn’t black and white. AI can be both a blessing and a curse, depending on how we use it. So here’s my honest take on the AI and…
When I’m choosing a laptop for design work, I always start with the screen and end with the workflow. If a display isn’t color-accurate, it’s a hard pass. If the machine chokes on big Photoshop/Illustrator files, 4K timelines, or 3D renders, it won’t last on my desk. In 2025, the good news is we have some incredible options—OLEDs with wide color, mini-LED HDR panels, and chips that chew through creative apps.Below are my top 10 picks this year, with quick reasons, display notes, and who I think each one suits best. 1) Apple MacBook Pro 14″/16″ (M4 Pro / M4…

Whenever I pack my bag for a workday, I ask myself: is this going to help me create faster, or is it just extra weight? If it doesn’t remove friction, it stays at home. If it helps me get into flow, it earns a permanent spot. You probably feel the same way. In 2025, the gadgets that actually matter aren’t flashy toys—they’re the ones that save us time, protect our sanity, and make our work look better.So, let me share the five gadgets I think every creative (including you and me) should have this year. 1) A Creator Tablet with…

I’ll walk you through the paths, the skills, the projects, and a simple plan you can start this week. You’ll leave knowing exactly how to build a career in design without getting overwhelmed.

When deadlines pile up, I don’t look for “more hours.” I look for better tools and cleaner workflows. Over the years, I’ve tested a ridiculous number of apps and gadgets. Some were shiny distractions. A few became non-negotiables that genuinely make me faster, calmer, and more consistent.Below is my personal stack of productivity tools designers (and creative folks in general) can use to plan, design, collaborate, and ship work without burning out. I’ll share what I use each tool for, what to look for, and a couple of quick workflows you can steal. 1) Planning & Project Clarity Why it…
Whenever I’m stuck on a packaging brief, I don’t hunt for one perfect example—I look for patterns that work across categories and countries. The best packaging design inspirations aren’t just pretty boxes; they’re ideas that travel: clarity, story, sustainability, and shelf impact. Below are ten global brand playbooks I keep coming back to, plus quick ways you can borrow (and remix) those ideas for your next project. 1) Apple — Radical Restraint & Finish Quality Apple’s packaging reminds me that confidence can be quiet. White or soft neutrals, tight grids, minimal copy, and obsessive material choices create an “unboxing ritual”…
If you’ve ever streamed a movie, stored photos online, or used Google Docs, you’ve already used cloud computing. But what exactly does it mean? In this beginner-friendly guide, I’ll break it down in simple terms—no jargon, just the basics you actually need to understand. What Is Cloud Computing? At its core, cloud computing means using the internet to access computing resources—like storage, servers, databases, software, or networks—without having to own or maintain them yourself. Instead of running everything on your personal computer or company’s data center, you “rent” what you need from a cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services…
We all use the internet every day—for chatting, streaming, shopping, or working. But have you ever stopped and asked yourself: how does the internet work? Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a tech wizard to understand it. In this beginner-friendly guide, I’ll explain it in simple terms so anyone—even an 8th grader—can follow along. Step 1: Think of the Internet as a Giant Network The internet is basically billions of computers, phones, and servers connected together. Imagine a huge spider web—each point on the web is a device, and the lines are the connections between them. These connections can…
Everywhere you look, people are talking about AI, machine learning, and deep learning. But these terms are often used interchangeably, which can be confusing if you’re new to the field. In this beginner-friendly guide, I’ll explain the differences in simple terms, give examples, and show how they’re connected. What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the broadest concept. It refers to machines or systems that are designed to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence—like problem-solving, decision-making, or understanding natural language. Examples: Virtual assistants like Siri or Alexa, spam filters in email, or recommendation systems on Netflix. Think…
