advice from designers in the industry for junior product designers in the age of AI <3

after speaking with a lot of designers, I've realized it's not just juniors but even the most senior designers are trying to find their ground right now. find what makes you uniquely YOU and build with that.

fun fact: I nod my head about 20,000 times throughout this video :3 😂

I asked designers at @figma's config how much they loved AI. On a scale from 1-10, what would you give it?

Light Mode or Dark Mode? You heard it from the pros at @figma's Config 2026.

That’s a wrap on #config2026 I’ve realized there is a way to attend a conference and come home fully refreshed. Find the balance between learning, exploring, and forming deep friendships. See ya next year 🫡

It’s been exactly one year since I incorporated ManuVision Inc. on my birthday, a symbolic start to what became a transformational year.
This carousel captures 2025: the stages, the partnerships, the creative projects, the personal milestones. But if you make it to slides 19 and 20, you’ll see what I’m actually most grateful for.
To my community who’s supported this work: thank you for being here.
To my friends and family who’ve shown up through everything, the wins and the hard days that don’t make it online: thank you for being my foundation.
None of this happens alone. Every opportunity, every project, every moment of growth was made possible by people who believed in the vision and held space for the journey.
Here’s to the future, built with intention and the people who matter most. 🙏🏾

I’m still here reminiscing! @adobe TAKE US BACK!

The “Creative Park” at the Adobe Max main event was 💯 my favorite!

@adobefirefly Unfinished Film booth was epic and I love finding out my creative personality type - hello fellow Luminaries!

Reliving @adobe MAX in Los Angeles from what feels like yesterday. What a week of being around my ambassador friends, creatives from around the world and people who bring these communities together. Thanks for having me @adobeexpress @katecommunity @kelsie_community @lizign & @heidicreativecommunity 💜

Starting off strong at the @adobeexpress Ambassador Summit learning about new features, then customising my very own @cocacola can and hanging out with so many creators under one roof. And this was just Day 0 😅

The keynotes and talks were the highlight where not just new features were announced but I got to hear from creatives like @ptrani @fugstrator @jordandeneellis @markrober @brandonb and also my favorite youtubers @colinandsamir 👀

It’s the small updates that is giving me life and being able to hang out with my creator friends in person. Thanks for having me @adobeexpress - cant wait for next year and for us to meet again 🥳🤝
