Dear Designer

Freelancers, agencies, and AI—where do designers go from here?

It's time to let designers and creative small businesses off the hook

Conscious and creative entrepreneurship as a force for liberation

AI may accelerate, but it cannot replace the depth of true communications

Learning from Hitchcock how resistance shapes resilience

As algorithms shape reality and institutions waver, we can reclaim our role as creators of trust

Hook or by crook, largely by crook, and arm in arm, to designers who doubt

Making art in age of upheaval, plus what would Copernicus do

Plus how design portfolios matter in an age of templates, standardization and AI

Navigating climate change, impermanence, AI mania, and shifting political tides with and through design

How designers can navigate big social, personal creativity, and ethical and spiritual challenges in a world gone batty

Kind machines make for wonderful overlords; also why Univers always looks fabulous

Graphic designers can still sharpen skills and adapt to a rapidly changing professional landscape

And why reclaiming intuition in graphic design is a fearsome act of faith
