“I had the pleasure of working with Andy on CPOS, and honestly, Andy is the dream Creative Director—he's got all of the best values you could possibly want from someone managing a creative team, and he has this ability to extract all the best juice from everyone around him. What sets Andy apart is how he inspired our team when he joined. We had such an amazing time aligning on our team's creative strategy and goals for the year under his leadership, and it wasn't just inspiring, it was productive—everyone was doing their best work, feeling motivated, and genuinely excited about what we were building together. That's rare, and it speaks to Andy's ability to not just lead, but to bring out the best in people. Andy creates an environment where creativity thrives, where people feel supported and challenged in the best way, and where the work genuinely improves because of his direction and vision. He's thoughtful, strategic, collaborative, and just genuinely great to work with, which made every project under his leadership feel meaningful and well-executed. I would enthusiastically recommend Andy for any role requiring exceptional creative leadership, team inspiration, strategic vision, and the ability to elevate both the work and the people around him.”

I’ve heard a lot of talk about the Affinity versus Adobe debate. When the going gets tough and you really need to get some design work done, people tend to gravitate back to Adobe. I’ve heard this rhetoric before and respectfully disagree. Unfortunately, in our industry, many designers are proficient in using software but lack the essential design skills. I’ve had the privilege of designing for the world’s largest companies for over 25 years and have been in the industry for nearly three decades. Throughout my career, I’ve observed the rise and fall of various software tools, but ultimately, they’re just tools. The true skill lies in the designers’ understanding of the fundamental principles of design. I’ve faced numerous deadlines, and the software I use has never seemed to matter. What truly matters is the designer behind the tools. In the past five years, I’ve used Affinity (and Figma ) for most of my projects and have never considered switching back to Adobe. However, if your workflow or company requires a specific plug-in or workflow that only Adobe offers, then it’s understandable to stay with Adobe. But for independent designers who have the freedom to design as they please, I believe Affinity has made significant strides in recent years. I hope this innovation pushes our industry forward and elevates the creative craft.

Attention all creative leaders. The time is nigh. The age of unbridled creation is upon us. Combining applications like Wispr Flow into my current product workflow is the first time I have seen a technology that can so closely take what is in my head and turn it into a digitally interactive playground. There is no excuse not to be building, testing, learning, and building again. That innovation roadmap we spent years drawing in design thinking workshops is fully tangible. "Oh, this is a problem?!" "KABOOM!" - Keef Slertner

Design is evolving fast. We’re no longer just shipping artifacts, rather, we’re shaping intelligent systems that learn, adapt, and co-create with us. This next era asks more of us: more judgment, orchestration, contextual intelligence, and the ability to guide systems that won’t stay static. Our work now is to design conditions for emergence and to keep humanity in the loop. Here’s my take on what’s ahead: https://lnkd.in/gjbey3nZ #designexcellence #designleadership #humancentereddesign #designingwithAI #enterprisedesign
