Epiphany Time!

Diary of a F̶r̶e̶e̶l̶a̶n̶c̶e̶ UX/UI Designer

Hey lads! You know what?! I had an epiphany!

Wait — actually, even better: I landed a full-time job as a Product Designer! Oh yes, my friends, I officially closed my freelance business, and told my clients:

“Heyoo, we had a great adventure together, but it’s time for a new chapter — and I won’t be able to help you anymore…” 

So here’s the thing. I started this blog to promote myself, share my knowledge, and reach more people. The goal was to find new clients. Heck, the name of the blog is Diary of a UX/UI Freelancer! And now? Well… the name stays. Don’t worry about it for now. I just realized — I love sharing my thoughts and experiences. So I’m gonna keep doing exactly that.

No U-turns here — Just an Azimuth Cut!

I realized I was writing the typical UX blog. You know the one — same topics, same advice. Except for my signature Fun Start™ (yup, that one’s all mine).

So it’s time to go full-on 100% original, 100% ME. That’s the Azimuth I’m talking about!

This whole epiphany hit me while listening to UXPodcast™ — a brilliant digital design podcast hosted by James Royal-Lawson and Per Axbom. The episode was UX for Business with Joel Marsh.

And oh boy, it struck a chord. There’s so much repetitive content out there. Joel nailed it when he said many people in UX are chasing expectations far from reality. A lot of focus goes to tools and “what skill should I learn?” instead of the actual why and how behind the work. People end up just executing tasks they’ve been handed — no room to challenge, question, or improve. (I’ve been there too)

So yeah, that was my big “AHA!” moment. From now on, this blog will get more spontaneous, more real, and way more me.

Weekly Assets — Here’s a little collection of things that blew my mind recently and might spark your creativity too!

Next Topic: A thought experiment — pushing the boundaries.

So if CRUD is the rational skeleton of digital systems — a logical matrix that defines how data behaves — then what’s its mythological reflection? What’s the soul layer behind the skeleton?

That’s for today, Cheers
