Lujo | Product designer

“I no longer use figma or adobe” can never be a flex to me. Where’s the craftsmanship? Where’s the passion? I understand the need to get things done faster but I feel like we’re gradually losing the human touch that makes design special. At some point, you have to ask yourself: why did you choose this career path as a brand/graphic designer in the first place? I’ve spent over $1k on AI credits this year alone. I actively use AI, experiment with new tools, and keep up with the latest trends in our industry. So this isn’t coming from someone who’s against AI. But I can tell you one thing: I still feel alive pushing those rectangles around, one pixel at a time whether in figma, adobe, or whatever creative tool gets me there. There’s a certain joy I feel in actually making things and obsessing over the little details, while putting a piece of myself into my work. Efficiency is great, but I never want to lose the feeling of being a designer.
