LadyAshBorg · x · 2026-11-06
The author argues it's a great time for design, branding and storytelling: AI will trigger an explosion of these services with an entirely new aesthetic replacing the boring blue/purple SaaS era. Teams aren't being laid off because there's no work, but because the bar for a solid team has fundamentally changed—and the post-AI era will need far more such teams. Advice: double down on new skills, and she's recruiting AI-pilled designers and brand storytellers.
