In this episode of Monday Meeting, host EJ Brieva leads an open discussion about how motion designers recharge and find creative inspiration outside of screen time.

This episode covers:

  • Ways to recharge: From morning walks in nature to changing work environments, hear tips on how to rejuvenate without breaking the bank. 
  • The return to physical crafts: Designers are picking up bookbinding, leather work, origami, and other hands-on hobbies as a break from digital work.
  • Creative trends and pressures: How spaces are becoming more personal and colorful (moving away from minimalism), plus dealing with the pressure to document every project on social media.
  • Decision-making insights: Why limiting choices and committing to decisions leads to greater satisfaction.
  • Market predictions: How AI might drive increased demand for handmade items on platforms like Etsy.
