The truth about getting seen in 2025

Can we just admit it?

It’s 2025, and sometimes it feels like everyone is doing what we’re doing.

Designers. Artists. Creatives. Architects. AI-generated portfolios. Perfect content. EVERYWHERE.

It’s beautiful… but also A LOT.

And if you’ve ever had that quiet little thought -
"Is there even space for me anymore?"
You’re not alone. And that’s exactly what I want to talk about today.

Because we’re not here to blend in.

👇
Let me start with a slightly controversial, but very real truth:

Right now is actually the BEST time to build something bold.

To start. Re-start. Reclaim. Launch. Finally show up.

Why?

Because we are DROWNING in distractions, repetitive trends, and generic content.
And the wild thing is - AI is one of the tools that can actually help you rise above that noise (I’ll get to that in a sec).

Most people are doom-scrolling.

They're afraid to take initiative.

They think it’s too late - that if they didn’t start in 2012, it’s over.

Spoiler: it’s not.

You think I’m some super-organized creative now?
Let me remind you - before my current Instagram account existed, I did all my marketing via email outreach.

I wrote a pitch, found people I wanted to work with, and landed my first dream volunteer projects abroad - all before studying interior design.

Then, my unique outreach technique led to a job in a hotel,
then a dream studio role designing for celebrities and big brands,
then high-end clients.

And then… Instagram. And I got lazy.

And now, I’m FINALLY going back to my roots.

→ Putting social media second.
→ Rebuilding visibility and opportunity outside the algorithm.

And before I dive into AI, I want to tell you something REALLY exciting:

I’m hosting a super exclusive marketing live session for creatives who are DONE with waiting to be “discovered.”

I’ll show you:

•  My exact outreach strategies
•  Copy that actually grabs attention
•  How to position yourself to be seen

You can access it when you join my new AI Mastermind.

Now, let’s talk AI.

It’s your new secret ticket to success - especially if you’re short on time and big on ideas.

We, creatives, don’t have hours or days for content plans, renders, or writing copy.

AI does the heavy lifting - so you can stay in your creative flow.

Rendering? AI can do it.

Stuck on ideas? AI has them.

Need a fresh concept, a layout, a mockup?

Let me show you how: 

But remember: YOU are the brain.
You’re the soul behind the screen.

AI doesn’t replace your creativity - it responds to it.
The input, the vision, the spark - THIS IS YOU!

If you need proof, here’s what was shared at Europe’s largest real estate event:

That realistic render from the sketch I showed you earlier in this newsletter, it started as an iPad sketch.

That’s the power of learning how to draw quickly and direct AI creatively.

iPad + AI = your new creative workflow.

It’s fast. Flexible. And way more fun than waiting days on a software render.

So if you want to build your creative career on YOUR terms - with real tools and REAL RESULTS,
→ join the AI Mastermind.
Only 22 seats left before doors close.

And if I could recommend just two skills to master right now? DEFINITELY

iPad drawing + smart use of AI.
They’ll give you speed, direction, confidence - and the kind of creative freedom that’s seriously hard to ignore.

Remember ⬇️

The tools don’t make you replaceable.
The noise doesn’t make you invisible.
You’re still the one driving it all.

You're good 😉
