đź§Ş What I'm Building

in the works…

This week, most of my focus went into building my SaaS. It’s taking longer than planned, because the first version just wasn’t good enough. Instead of patching it up, we decided to rebuild from the ground up. It’s a slower road, but it will lead to a much stronger product.

On the positive side, the course I launched is already delivering great results. Students are using the workflow to design beautiful websites in just a few days proof that with the right system, web design can be faster and better. Check it out here

🚨Big News: Nano Banana Is Here

Google just dropped Nano Banana (codename for Gemini 2.5 Flash Image), its most advanced AI image editing model yet.

This isn’t another text to image toy. It’s an instant Photoshop replacement that lets you edit or generate images with plain English prompts while keeping characters, faces, and details consistent across edits.

Think: change a background, erase a crowd, swap outfits, or even drop yourself into a selfie with a celebrity. And it all happens in seconds, inside the Gemini app.

What It Means for Creators

We’re moving from manual design tools to natural language editing environments. In other words, visual workflows aren’t just faster they’re becoming conversational.

For freelancers, founders, and agencies, this matters:

  • Faster asset turnaround → No more waiting on Photoshop layers or contractors for simple edits.

  • Consistency unlocked → Character + brand visuals remain coherent across dozens of variations.

  • Accessibility spike → Anyone, even non-designers, can now tweak visuals like pros.

Why It’s a Big Deal

  • Design bottlenecks shrink: Campaigns, ads, thumbnails, mockups turnaround goes from days to minutes.

  • Brand control shifts: Marketing teams won’t just outsource design. They’ll edit in-house, in real time.

  • Freelancers need to adapt: The new value isn’t “clicking around in Photoshop” it’s knowing how to prompt, polish, and systemize AI-driven workflows.

My Take

Nano Banana isn’t just a fun codename it’s a signal. Google wants to own the creative pipeline the same way Adobe did for decades.

If you’re a freelancer or agency, don’t see this as a threat. See it as leverage. Clients will want speed and taste. The AI can generate infinite versions but it’s still humans who decide which version sells.

The winners? Those who blend prompt fluency + design sense into services that feel 10x faster and 10x more scalable.

Start experimenting. If you can master tools like Nano Banana now, you’ll be the one shaping what the future of design actually looks like.

🤖 Design Inspiration: Native Apps (Rork)

Tool Used: Rork
Take my current wall and redesign it using a realistic brick background. Keep the existing furniture, door, and decorations (the fans, framed art, and small colorful artwork) in place, but adjust their shadows and depth so they blend naturally with the new brick texture. Make the brick look authentic with visible mortar lines, realistic lighting, and slight surface imperfections. Ensure the overall room feels warm, modern, and inviting, as if the brick wall was actually built there. Keep the perspective and layout of the wall the same, just change the material to brick.
Tool Used: Apsy
A sleek, modern mobile app dashboard UI mockup with two side-by-side panels.

Left panel (Project Manager app): clean white background, minimal design, soft shadows. Sections labeled “Continue,” “Due & Overdue Tasks,” and “Recent Activity,” all showing empty states with light gray placeholder text. Bottom navigation bar with icons: Home, Bookmarks, Projects, Notes, Profile. A floating red circular “+” button in the lower right corner.

Right panel (AI Photo Editor app): dark background (matte black/charcoal) with vibrant accent elements. A top search bar with placeholder text “Type a prompt… e.g. Make me look like Harry Potter.” Three large buttons below: “Upload from Gallery,” “Take a Photo,” and “Paste Link,” all in minimal icon-button style with subtle glow. A section labeled “Suggested Styles” with pill-shaped buttons in bright colors: pink (Anime), teal (Cartoon), orange (Vintage). Floating orange “+” button overlaps slightly. Bottom navigation bar with icons: Create, Editor.

Overall style: futuristic, flat-minimalist with rounded corners, subtle gradients, and soft shadows. Balanced typography, clean sans serif fonts. Bright accent colors pop against the black/white panels. High-resolution UI/UX mockup in perspective, sharp details, realistic lighting, professional design system.

Render in 4K, ultra-clean, dribbble/behance style UI concept showcase.
Tool Used: Replit
