You need to know one thing: will this new technology make your work better, faster, and more profitable, or is it a distraction?... read more →

Your online presence is your most critical business asset. The debate of how to build it often boils down to two heavyweights: Squarespace and Webflow. Both are dominant forces in the web design space, but they represent fundamentally different philosophies and are built for different types of creative professionals. This isn't a simple question of which one is "better." That’s the wrong frame. The right question is: which platform is the superior tool for your specific... read more ›

The two biggest names in the game are Squarespace and WordPress. They both offer paths to a professional-looking website, but they are fundamentally different tools designed for different types of users and goals. Making the wrong choice can lead to hours of frustration and a final product that doesn't truly represent the quality of your work. This isn't about which platform is "better" in a vacuum. It's about which platform is the right strategic asset... read more ›

The conversation around AI and creative work is deafening. It’s a mix of doomsday predictions and utopian fantasies, with most of it missing the point entirely. The real shift isn't about replacement; it's about a fundamental change in our role as creative professionals. Nowhere is this more apparent than inside Adobe Photoshop. For decades, it’s been the undisputed hub of our digital craft, a tool for meticulous, hands-on manipulation. But that's changing. Photoshop is evolving... read more ›

ChatGPT came out in November of 2022, but it didn’t really catch on until GPT 4 in 2024. But the viral “Studio Ghibli” moment in May of 2025 was when AI became truly mainstream, and creatives could no longer ignore it. We’re now on the heels of ChatGPT 5.1, and it’s more clear than ever: there are very real concerns about AI (replacing creatives, ethical issues, etc), but the fact of the matter is that... read more ›

If you saw the recent news about Figma acquiring Weavy (renamed Figma Weave) and thought, "OK but WTF is Weavy?" you're not alone! It's a relatively new, but incredible app. Weavy is a node-based platform engineered for creative teams and enterprises. Think of it less as a single AI model and more as a central hub or workbench that connects various AI models and editing tools into one unified workflow. Instead of jumping between Nano... read more ›

Higgsfield AI is a generative video model and platform designed for creating high-fidelity, controllable, and stylistically consistent video content from text and image prompts. Unlike many early-generation AI video tools that produce short, often disjointed clips, Higgsfield focuses on solving one of the biggest problems for professional use: consistency. It aims to give creators the ability to maintain the same character, aesthetic, and environment across multiple shots, making it a viable tool for narrative and... read more ›

Should photographers, designers and other creative pros be on TikTok as a marketing platform? The answer is maybe - and it largely depends on your mindset. The biggest hurdle for experienced professionals on TikTok is their experience. The habits and best practices learned from years of building a presence on Instagram, Behance, or a personal website don't apply here. In fact, they are often a liability. You have to unlearn the "portfolio mindset" to win.... read more ›

The creative landscape is flooded with AI tools that promise instant art at the push of a button. You type a sentence, you get an image. It's a neat trick, but for a working professional, it's often an incomplete solution. The lack of fine-grained control, the inability to replicate a style consistently, and the "black box" nature of these simple generators make them novelties, not reliable production tools. The real potential of generative AI isn't... read more ›

You've probably seen people talk about "vibe coding." It was original coined by Andrej Karpathy as a tongue-in-cheek term, but it's caught on as a way to refer to the new style of software development where you let AI take the wheel. Essentially, you tell the AI what you want ("an app where I can upload a photo, it adds my watermark, and emails it to my client") and it will do the rest -... read more ›
