Tbh, the person behind the branding for @blockfestafrica is GOATED big time 😭🔥
The backdrops, banners, and the entire event setup? Everything is so clean.
Whoever is behind those designs deserves their flowers. 🫡💙
Anthropic just introduced Claude Duet, and this could change how we work with AI.
It's a new app in research preview that turns Claude into a proactive agent rather than one that simply waits for your prompts.
It can:
→ Bring important tasks to your attention
→ Complete tasks you assign it
→ Keep working while you're away
→ Ask for your approval before taking certain actions
For designers, this could mean less time on repetitive tasks and more time creating.
But here's what I'm curious about.
How well can it make decisions on its own without needing us to supervise every step?
Because if we still have to watch its every move, how much time are we really saving?
For a long time, you've known me as Cryptic_P, and it's been an amazing ride. 💙
But it's time for a new chapter.
When I started building in the Web3/crypto space, I chose the name Cryptic_P. It became part of my journey, my growth, and the person I was becoming.
I'm grateful for everything that came with it: the people I've met, the opportunities I've received, and the lessons I've learned along the way.
But moving forward, I'm choosing to continue building under my real name: Precious Baridoosia.
I'm still the same designer, with the same vision and passion. Just a more personal identity and bigger goals ahead.
Honestly, I'm grateful for the opportunity that inspired this change. It was worth it, and I'm excited for what's ahead.
I prayed for times like this. 🥹
Cryptic_P was the name you knew. Precious is the person behind it. And now, Precious is the name you'll know. 💙
Here's to a new chapter. Cheers! 🥂
Reddit is a goldmine for anyone looking for remote jobs.
People share job openings, insider tips, valuable resources, and opportunities you won’t easily find elsewhere.
If you know how to use it, your next job or client could be one search away.
Here’s how to make Reddit work for you:
ElevenLabs shipped Recast and everyone's going to use it wrong
here's how to use I'd use it in paid work:
1. shoot one hero ad with the lighting and camera moves locked in
2. recast the talent for each market or audience the client sells to
3. keep the original audio, so it's still the same ad
can definitely see large brands using this
Shipping with Claude Code, Codex, or Antigravity? Season 4 is for you.
One loop. Every PR.
Week one: wire TestSprite into your repo so every pull request gets tested. Your proof is a PR that caught something and went green.

You don’t need to be a developer.
You don’t need a tech degree.
Companies literally pay people to use their apps and tell them what’s good, what’s confusing and what needs fixing.

Having a good reputation can open doors you didn't even know existed.
You might be wondering why I said that, right?
Now let me tell you.
I saw a founder looking for a designer.
I replied to his tweet and sent him my portfolio in DMs.
And he replied with this:
“Taking a look at it cos I saw Gratti vouch.”
Immediately I saw this, I smiled.
Because it showed me that the work I'm doing is building trust beyond my own audience.
And truth is, someone else's experience with your work can become someone else's reason to trust you.
This is why I'm big on doing good work and building genuine relationships, because these little things can open doors you didn't even know were there.
You never know who's watching, who's listening, or who's going to mention your name when an opportunity comes up.
Do good work, build genuine relationships.
And never forget to build a reputation that makes people confident enough to recommend you.
In as much as marketing your product is important, your brand is just as important too.
You can spend $70k getting attention for your launch.
But if people click through and your visuals look rough, generic, or like they came straight from a random Canva template, that attention can work against you.
Because people judge before they read.
Your visuals are often the first thing people experience.
They shape how professional, credible, and trustworthy your product feels before people even understand what you’re building.
That’s why branding shouldn’t be something you think about after the marketing strategy is already in place.
Your brand is part of the product experience, and a good one gives people a reason to stay, trust you, and take your product seriously.
So dear Web3 & AI founders, don’t spend thousands getting attention just to lose it because your brand doesn’t reflect the quality of what you’re building.

Repost for someone looking for online work
Happy weekend, fam 💙
Go outside and touch some grass.
Do something that has absolutely nothing to do with your laptop, deadlines, or work.
Just enjoy the weekend and give yourself a break.
There was a time when I thought becoming a better designer meant learning more design tools.
Don't get me wrong, learning how to use more tools is important too.
But the more I designed, the more I realized that wasn't the real problem.
Knowing how to make something doesn't mean you know what to make.
The biggest improvement in my work came when I started learning how to think before I design.
→ Understanding the brand.
→ Understanding the audience.
→ Understanding the message.
→ Understanding why a certain visual direction makes sense.
Now, before I start designing, I ask myself certain questions first.
Because tools can help you execute an idea.
But they can't give you a good idea.
And that's one of the biggest differences between a designer who can use design tools and a designer who can actually design.
