AI removed a lot of the repetitive work I used to do manually. At some point I realized I wasn’t “creating” in the traditional sense anymore — instead, I was reviewing, comparing, choosing, and refining. And surprisingly, that shift made my work feel more focused and intentional.
AI made it easier to explore different ideas quickly, compare directions, and understand which option truly works better. I spend less time getting stuck on one path and more time evaluating the whole picture. It feels like having an extra pair of eyes that helps me see the logic behind decisions faster.
I no longer waste energy on mechanical steps that don’t impact the outcome. Instead, I focus on the essence: how something should feel, how it behaves, and whether it actually solves the problem. The technical part became lighter — and the creative part became sharper.
It wasn’t about speed after all. AI didn’t turn me into a faster designer — it turned me into a more thoughtful, reflective one. I make decisions differently now: slower where it matters, faster where it doesn’t.
