Motion designer and artist Ryan Selvy joins Able Heads for a candid, wide-ranging conversation on AI, creativity, and what it means to be a working designer in 2026. Ryan who specializes in motion design and does contract work with Adobe Live — breaks down exactly how he uses AI tools day-to-day, why he'd never use AI for a final output, and what the industry is getting wrong about replacing human craft.

This episode is packed with honest takes and practical wisdom. Ryan also opens up about the anxiety many creatives are feeling about job security, and offers a grounding reminder: the best antidote to uncertainty is curiosity, adaptability, and making stuff you genuinely love.
