designers, remember; you don't convince clients to pay for design. you show them what bad design is already costing them. different conversation entirely.

designers, you do not have to keep up with every ai tool, every ai model, every ai news, every ai ... just pick one. claude or codex is fine. i @claudeai be blind to whatever fancy feature the other one comes up with. yours is gonna have the same in no time anyways. and make the things you actually want to make. as you do, you'll get new ideas. have fun with it. don't let the panic run your life.

Building apps has never been easier. With Sites, Codex can turn your work, ideas, and plans into an interactive website or app your team can explore, use, and share with a URL. Rolling out to Business and Enterprise plans, before expanding more broadly.

some founders hire a designer. some hire someone to validate what they've already decided. not the same engagement.

Most designers on Design X compete with AI on pricing. You're not gonna win that.

One thing I love about what we do as designers. Spontaneous trips with the family. Not just the time freedom. The financial freedom too. I hope you all are making the most of it as well.

I wish creating such gorgeous visuals was enough to earn multi six figures as a designer. The reality is that, you gotta understand the “business side of design”. I’m sharing everything I have ever learned since 1998 at DesignerMindset.net in that topic. Btw, it’s FREE 🎁
