Nobody Has Ever Called Me a Fermenter
A coach asked who I am outside my title. I’ve been failing to answer ever since.

Trust is the new UX. When AI hides the question, the answer is just 42. I wrote about explainability, agency, and patterns that earn belief—preview, provenance, undo. Read the essay: [girayk.substack.com/p/trust-is-the-…] #AI #UX #DesignLeadership

Taste isn’t elitist. It’s the invisible craft that helps us say: “This one is worth building.” New post → #designleadership #creativity

📝Taste Is What Keeps Design Human
Taste isn’t a luxury—it’s a leadership skill. In a world of AI-generated design, our ability to judge what’s good, resonant, and meaningful is what keeps design human.

Is world getting crazy or has it been always crazy and we are cognitively bombarded with the cacophony? Turn the volume down. Breathe. Mute the non-sense

Journaling helps me to process my life. Helps me understand certain emotions coming above the surface on certain events. Why I am being triggered? I dig deep or I do sense make them. What is your experience with journaling? Is it an analog or digital experience for you?

Last year I start daily journaling. I was not sure when I start. Isn’t it something we used to when we were kids? Now I think about the traumas, events, feelings, thought spirals I have not captured. Writing on a paper, putting abstract thoughts into words. What a powerful tool for mental health.

I am lost with all these productivity tools, AI products. I think I am going back to fully analogue pen and paper only. Feels more mindful, less screaming on my face.

The 5 steps of the design process are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and whiteboarding

Every evening, I check my 100 euro worth crypto wallet to see if I get rich. This is worse than waiting for my Amazon deliveries.

It is very hard to implement new process changes, activating new initiatives in the organisation. Is there a shorter cut I am not aware?

I am still having difficulty in getting into routines, focusing on goals for 2025. Is it because of the foggy weather outside?

How do you find time and energy at the same time for the things you like to do? If these three would be a Venn Diagram, they would like 3 circles minding their own business.

I am jealous of people starting conversations with strangers easily. I wonder what kind of life I would have if I have that skill.

Sometimes I love video editing. Reminds me the moments I took the shots when traveling. Sometimes I hate because it is so damn time consuming. When premiere pro will have AI-assisted video editing? 👀

I thought when I start over with a new social media platform, I would magically be an influencer. I forgot about the effort and frequency of articulation you need to bring on. Oh well…
