Become a multi-skilled designer, now!

Why the times of the I-shaped designer is over, launching the new Canvas Supply with an All-Access Pass and more in today's letter of Creative Prosperity!

I must admit, being a designer in these crazy times is wild – in a good and bad way. On the one hand, we can do more than ever with the right tools and technologies, but on the other hand, it's extremely dangerous if you rely on one skill only. Like UX design, or just graphic design.

While we've been perfecting our craft, the world has moved on. AI cranks out images and code in seconds. No-code tools let anyone build websites. Clients stopped caring about pixel-perfect mockups and started demanding business results (nothing wrong about that tbh.).

But here's the twist: This is our biggest opportunity yet. The designers thriving right now aren't the deepest specialists. They're the ones connecting dots across disciplines. I know a web designer who learned AI and no-code web development and now charges $15k+ for projects that used to pay $3k. Because she can design AND build the solution. This is also exactly what I do at my agency.

The secret is becoming T-shaped: deep in your core skill, but competent across multiple areas. The UX designer who understands business metrics. The graphic designer who writes compelling copy or creates amazing AI imagery. The developer who gets user psychology, interaction design, and UX writing.

Pick one adjacent skill this week that would make your expertise more valuable. Here are some to get you started:

• Coding

• Image + video prompting

• Vibe coding

• NoCode web development

• Storytelling

• UX Writing

• Visual design

• Branding

• Marketing

• CRO

• SEO

• 3D visualization

• Sales

• Automation

The market rewards problem-solvers, not pixel-pushers. Expand your skills before your competition (and AI) does.

Hard to start? Yes. But, try building side projects with these new skills, and you will see that you will get better over time. Brick by brick.

New Canvas Site & All-Access Pass

For a few months, I have been working on a new website for my Framer template store, as well as some additional offerings. I’m very happy to introduce you to the new All-Access Pass. It gets you:

• All my Framer templates & custom components packaged for a fixed fee

• No subscriptions, no recurring charges

• Future launches are included with no extra charge

But here's the thing: the price of this All-Access Pass won't last long. I’m increasing it soon, so you're saving at least 30% by acting now. Additionally, every future template or component we launch will automatically be added to your access pass. Think of it as locking in today's price for tomorrow's entire library!
