“My career and life’s work has totally gone through a reset and I am now back where I started at in my early twenties.”

AI has completely changed the expectations and the perception of designers, it’s always been a fight to show our relevance and worth in the industry, AI has just made it even worse by giving it away for free and making it seem like it was always so easy, as though it was only the mastery of the software that stood in the way.

Years of hard work and fighting for what, only to get screwed over in the end.

In many ways I feel like my career and life’s work has totally gone through a reset and I am now back where I started at in my early twenties.

I feel defeated and depressed, and honestly am unsure of where I fit in, in this new world.
