“I look for beauty even inside the fracture.” Yes. Yes! What else? I’m a mother as well, also grieving the world I thought I could give my kids that doesn’t exist anymore. But surely this, teaching them to find beauty no matter what, is a skill that will help carry them, whatever the future brings.
Your mindset shift to focus on hope, being creative and seeking out the good with the immense technological changes we are going through is encouraging!! This approach resonates with me because it's so easy to choose the negative, victimhood and disempowering mindsets that don't serve our greater selves or the world. We are creative beings and we can choose to use AI or any technology for that matter, in a fun, empowering way! Thanks!
Thank you for your kind message. 👋 We’re living in strange times. Sometimes I feel like I’m in a bubble of my own. When I look at people on the bus, for example, I feel isolated with this angst. Same with my friends and the people closest to me. So many have no idea what’s going on. Not saying I do either... Every now and then, I’m oddly pleased when AI fails to deliver... 😆
this was so moving to read. i really felt that shift you described, especially as a designer. i know many creators who are boycotting anything to do with ai. but yeah, the disorientation, the grief almost, and then how you’ve chosen to alchemize it into art. there’s something really powerful about naming the fear but also refusing to let it be the whole story.
Thank you, Hannah, for your empathetic words. It really feels like a kind of mourning for what we thought the future would be, and suddenly it isn’t.
I took my time with dark thoughts, but since I realized there’s not much I personally can do about it, I might as well try to find an optimistic future vision. No matter how imaginary…
So here I am, working on it. I want to see past these upcoming years and gaze to the other side with optimistic intention.
Turning that fear into something creative has been my way of not getting stuck. That’s the my way forward, I acknowledge the loss, but also keep building something out of it.

Yes! I believe there’s so much to learn and so much to teach our children.
It also takes some unlearning and a bit of grieving for whatever we’ve lost or are about to lose.
Personally, I’ve stepped away from the business mindset toward more community and connection, more art and creation.
Thanks for reflecting on this Hannah! 🙌
Feelin’ it.
Thanks Kathy! I appreciate it. 🖤

You're saying things for real...
Let's hope for all those who wish everyone's well to find wellness (starting at ourselves)!
Well said. We need to look out for ourselves and our loved ones. ☀️
I like that seeking out of hope!
Thank you for commenting on this. 👋 It’s very personal to me, and I’m trying to look at it from a new perspective.
