I think the best part of working remote and online is getting to meet people from all over the world 🥹
Playing with logo animations for heyerika.design
Claude + @SVGatorApp MCP makes experimenting with ideas so fast and easy.
For the @SVGatorApp and @contra challenge, I created this Match & Screenshot template. I love finding ways to make content more fun and interactive.
I decided to make this template because most sale videos or ads get scrolled past. A game gives people a reason to stop, try again, and post their screenshot in the comments.
I connected SVGator to Claude with the SVGator MCP, explained my idea, tweaked my prompt, and Claude brought the animation to life right inside SVGator.
Try to screenshot the tag right when it lines up :)
You can customize the text, colors, logo and branding. It's perfect for Black Friday, holiday sales, or your next social media campaign.

I’m helping a client find a designer for an exciting opportunity in the AI design tooling space.
The work is hands-on: taking AI-generated designs and bringing the craft, judgment, and finishing touches that make them feel considered. Looking for someone with strong visual instincts and an interest in how AI is changing design.
Contract to start, ideally full-time, though part-time could work. Reach out or send someone my way!
I always draft, plan and then prompt in claude. Do you do too? Or do you just ask and wish for the best?

This report is a must-read to see where creative work is heading. Loved the 8 AI-native jobs listed, and I'm definitely taking notes on what I can offer in the coming weeks.
My bet for what's next? The AI fixer. I’ve worked with enough founders one on one and corporate teams asking for 20+ changes to know AI alone won’t cut it.
I'm already getting request from people who can't get their brand voice to not sound ai or they send me their designs made in Claude that they don't know how to change, implement or edit with some custom code for specific requests. When I dig deeper I usually get the same response they just don't have the time to learn how to do it.
AI is making creativity more valuable than ever before and..
we have 3 years of data to prove it.
Introducing the Creative Intelligence 2026 report from @contralabs.

It's Space Week so I asked Claude to make a little Y2K spaceship I can drag around. What did you build or experiment this week?
Your next opportunity might come from:
- A project you almost didn't publish
- A post you were nervous to share
- A person you finally messaged
- A skill you decided to learn
An application you nearly skipped.
You can't control every outcome.
But you can increase the number of opportunities you create. 💛
