We are living in a time of great uncertainty. Lately, I’ve been feeling the weight of this heavily — both professionally and personally.

Sometimes, it just feels so hard to find your mark when the mark keeps moving — when jobs feel fragile, industries are constantly shifting, economies are in flux and users are fickle. What was true last year feels shaky at best today. As designers, I think we feel this especially deeply. We want to know where we stand, who we are in this space, and whether we’re building something that matters.

We spend much of our days trying to get to solid ground. We make plans, set goals, chase clarity — as if certainty will save us. But life, in its most honest form, doesn’t promise stability. It promises movement, change, flux instead.
