May in Germany: Logging Off, Woods & Museums
I spent the entire month of May in Germany.
I will spare you the why I was there and concentrate more on what I did during those weeks, because life is also made of these moments and they play a big role in mine. And I feel like you also might get some inspiration from this post to go the fuck out and do things too.
You don’t need a motto to be successful
There were a few times when I’ve been personally asked: what is your personal motto?
My first thought was: the fuck I know? The one about lemons, I guess? The second thought led to a blank page. Error 404. Tabula rasa. The more I thought about it, the more I realised that there is no “one and only” motivational phrase that would pull me and my life towards a better future.
(…) Does it make me a bad person? A failure? Absolutely not.
Moving away from bad habits and toxic patterns as a designer
If I had to list every single bad habit or toxic patterns as a designer and creative person… it would be longer than your monthly Costco receipt.
But this time I’m actively changing things that no longer serve me and my creative process.
The good, the bad and the guilty
In the previous entry I got very passionate about creativity and how it became some sort of an endangered species in the era of raising AI. I still stand by that, however today I would like to bring the perspective of a designer (me, hello!) that worked in tech and was forced to adapt.
Human-to-human approach in design (and not only in that)
Whenever greed and profit for the already wealthy become more important than anything else… creativity dies and the majority of us are left with an empty bucket.
But we can still do something about it.
Are you still a gadget?
We have reached a point where our lives are almost permanently dependent on machines, on bits, and on any device capable of simplifying daily routines and tasks. We move faster, appear smarter, and juggle multiple tasks all at once, yet this constant acceleration and sensory overload may also be blinding us, making it harder to distinguish the real from the artificial. But how did we arrive here?
Your workstation impacts your creative thinking
Some of you might have already noticed, or maybe not, that the room and your workstation have a massive impact on your performance. It’s not just about noise, people yelling and being obnoxious (if you work in the office, of course). It’s mostly about what you are surrounding yourself with.
Let me introduce myself (again)
Reintroducing myself in 2026 might be a bold move. Not because I don’t believe in myself, but because the market and the world wide web are so overly saturated by designers, creative thinkers and hag-ridden AI enthusiasts that I think it takes another kind of bravery to show yourself for who you really are, and not for what ChatGPT wants you to be.
