Hi, I'm Daniel. I run BrightStudios and design brand... identity systems and build the websites to match. The throughline isn't industry It's the moment: companies at fundraise, launch, rebrand, or going upmarket. My work spans across SaaS, consumer, hospitality, education, marketplace, and a few that don't fit a category. Started designing at 18. Top 1% on Contra. Framer Partner, Webflow Partner most importantly a Barca fan. A few names you might recognize: DAZN, Contra, Daydream, Hypernative, Marcura, Averi AI, SupaHumans. I put together a reel of recent work, here it is:show more

i tried Framer Agent to build a brand guidelines... website template, something i've meant to do for a while. a site i can swap a logo, nudge a colour, update the type, and send a link instead of re-exporting a pdf nobody opens. a few observations on the AI process: - i started with references. pulled together a handful of minimalist grid layouts and had Claude describe the visual style back to me. you can do the same inside Framer, feeding it the references directly. - from there i had it write a detailed prompt aimed at that exact style, then asked it to break it into a few smaller steps. then i fed those into the agent, one at a time. - the scaffolding stage is the satisfying part. for something this grid-driven (the columns, the spans, the whole underlying structure) watching it land in seconds is hard to look away from. - but then i still have to sweat the details: text alignment, line-heights, image sizes. i don't mind it at all; it's the part i like, making these design decisions. the strength of the agent is the mundane work. point it at the stuff that eats your time: cleaning up the build, adding responsiveness, dropping in small effects, checking text and colour styles stay consistent, writing alt text for every image. then i get the time back for the parts of web design that are actually fun. 🤝show more

Life update 👀 Today is my last day Webflow.... I'm beyond proud of the work I did during my 3 years here, everything from designing & building Webflow University, helping create designs & visuals for our course lessons, making tons of illustrations for our keynotes, contributing to the new logo + rebrand & new designer UI last year, early explorations of AI in the product, and so much more. I truly leveled up my design/dev/illustration skills over the past few years, a big part in thanks to Sara Lundberg & McGuire Brannon constantly pushing me & my work, as well as getting to work along side of some of the most talented people I've ever met. I'm definitely going to miss my coworkers, but I'm also excited to explore some new projects I've been wanting to start. Here's a look back of just some of my favorite work I did at Webflow (but there's so much more I wish I could show 😉)show more

I'm very proud to launch and introduce my design... studio: Antitype. I've been convinced for several years that design will be the work of my life, and this studio is the starting point. A few days ago, a well-known designer publicly announced he was quitting design, overwhelmed by what AI is now capable of producing. A lot of designers share that feeling right now. I don't share it at all. I actually believe it's never been more important to create, to innovate on your product, your interfaces, your art direction. Differentiation has become key for ambitious companies looking to escape the standardisation that AI can generate. That's exactly what Antitype is built on: turning brand and product into a competitive advantage for those who want to stand out. This studio is a solid foundation for what I want to build long-term, and I'm really excited to share it with you!show more

I'm a very anxious bean and because of that... I work out at home. Well, I've started going to a public gym with my best friend and it's been amazing. The environment is super chill and I had a guy encourage me to jump up on the pullup bar and crank out some pullups.show more

its me, blank - i'm starting a new company... called S7RX and im going to do what i've never done before - sharing it all here you probably know me as the founder of openpurpose but in short - i'm a designer turned founder - i started my studio 17 years ago called 3drops in stockholm which i rebranded to openpurpose a couple of years ago and grew it to over 70 members globally working with leading tech companies in us besides running the agency, over the past decade i took on a few personal projects that meant something to me - like leading the digitization of the global visa system for over 65 countries and working with a few enterprise founders to launch daring projects to future proof their organizations along the way i experimented with dozens of ideas which some turned into ventures and a few became companies with their own dedicated teams but for as long as i can remember i only had one dream - to launch a brand that earns like a tech company but feels like a lifestyle brand so now at the age of 36, i'm doing just that and calling it S7RX my first product is launching next week and with that we are officially starting this new journey so follow on IG to see the stories and say hi : ) this will be differentshow more

People still want soreness to mean something. You wake... two days after a session barely able to sit down, and a voice at the back of your mind says good, that one's going to grow. It isn't. Soreness is the receipt for damage you haven't finished repairing. While the body patches torn tissue, it isn't building new muscle on top. The ache marks the days the work is paused. A sore muscle is a weaker one too. Force production drops while it's tender, so the next session runs at a discount, lighter loads, poorer stimulus. And the swelling you read as size? Fluid. It does nothing for growth and drains away in days. If you're sore all the time, that isn't a badge. It's a message. Drop some volume and put a few more rest days in. The muscle grows on the days you can walk.show more

I spent a day playing with GPT-5.6-Sol, and I... can now say with much more confidence that it hasn’t improved at design tasks. I haven’t noticed any meaningful improvement in its coding capabilities, either. Maybe it's just in the tasks I gave it. However, I finished an app we started building on a stream yesterday and brought it close to the original idea I had in mind. It’s incredibly easy to build tools like this these days. I basically gave Codex a batch of editorial grid examples, then combined those layouts with formula-based pattern generation. A few prompts and some polishing, and you have something that can serve as a basic brand identity system.show more

For a long time, small brands ran forgettable ads... for one boring reason, and it had nothing to do with taste. Good creative was just expensive. You needed a designer, or an agency, or at minimum a friend who owed you a favour. You needed a brief, a few rounds of edits, a week of back and forth, and a few hundred dollars you weren't sure you'd make back. So most small brands did the sensible thing and made nothing. A logo on a coloured background, maybe. Then straight back to work. That math is quietly breaking, and I don't think most people have noticed yet. Goose the Growth Guy does something that sounds small and isn't. You paste a brand's website and get finished ad creatives back. These are built from templates that already performed for real brands, rebuilt around whatever brand you point it at. Your colours, your product, your words. It runs in the browser, and there's no designer anywhere in the loop. The cost of producing something that genuinely looks like a real ad has dropped close to zero. If you have a product and want ads that actually work, try Goose now. If you signup from the link below, you’ll get 1000 credits for free.show more

After half a decade of creating templates for the... Webflow marketplace, I'm incredibly grateful for this program, which has allowed me to support my family and pursue my dream job for a significant part of my career. I've seen many companies using my templates to speed up their development process. My work has inspired some designers and I've got good and loyal clients. However, not sure why, the marketplace team has suddenly delisted all my main templates, which has decreased my monthly income by 80%. It was a shock. I remain confused about the reason, as I have been a strong supporter of the company since day one, which has given me many negative thoughts, feelings of disappointment, frustration, and anger. I stopped creating templates for them for a while. In the meantime, I created my own marketplace and learn something powerful: If something can go wrong, everything will go wrong. Lost clients, no money, no team, no income, but nothing to lose, since I've lost almost everything already. Even so, I managed to launch an honest MVP, and after reviewing all my templates, those that were living in a limbo, I've decided to offer full access at a huge discount. Now, anyone can get everything I've created all at once, from the top sellers to my favorite out-of-the-box templates. Buy once, build forever. I'm back to Webflow and the Framer templates. Stronger than never.show more

This is just one of the parts of my... secret sauce that makes up ⚡️ Hyper Realism on Photo AI and Interior AI Really high definition crispy details at up to 24 megapixels and very fast too and the most detailed upscaler out there now Kinda obvious but just going super high in resolution solves most of the problems of AI photos because every tiny detail (like a tiny hair on a skin) becomes a 640x480 block that can be generated by AI much more accurately than trying to do it as a few pixels It's made by my old AI dev philz1337x and for everyone to use at clarityai .co, I'm not affiliated but he's my friend and I use it!show more

i'd have to disagree here the problem isn't AI... UGC. the problem is most of what people are posting is slop when the quality is there, AI UGC beats real creators we've built the best system for realistic AI UGC videos right now: > realistic visuals > realistic voice > realistic quality > optimized movements and hooks for virality also way cheaper than a real creator and built for scale. mass automation across thousands of posts and multiple accounts. the standard AI tools and templates people are using will never work on organic. it's going to get terrible reach because people can instantly tell it's slop. especially on tiktok where the audience is much younger... you need high quality AI UGC systems that took actual effort to put together these videos can be used at scale across ecom, consumer apps, software etc.. example below:show more

If you own a tree business doing $2M to... $5M in revenue, I want to pay for 30 minutes of your time. I’m 20 years old and on track to hit $1M in revenue with my land clearing business in 2026. I’ve started the process of bringing on a certified arborist to help me expand into residential tree work in 2027. I started climbing when I was 14 and worked for a few tree companies before I started clearing land. I'm so pumped to get back into tree work and have a ton of questions. DM or comment if you’re open to a Zoom. I’m happy to pay whatever rate you think is fair.show more

I'm seeing a lot of people saying it is... just a bad upscaling instead of Gen AI, but it is indeed Gen AI animation. There are things going on in it that just don't make any sense for puppet animation. Here are some parts that make it clear, I slowed down the video so it's easier to notice the chunky parts. I checked the past ADs and it's possible to notice details (from an animator's POV) that are common and make sense for human work, so it was definitely a choice to use AI on this new ADshow more

gpt-6 astra + higgsfield api can now run a... fiverr business on autopilot there are 1000's of orders everyday for simple video work, and most of it is just a model's job now, so the bot picks the ones it can deliver and does them > finds clients who need launch videos, motion design or ugc ads > reads the brief and picks the jobs it can deliver accurately > higgsfield api generates the footage, animations or clips > delivers the files and handles the client feedback > quotes extra work for any revisions at $350 an order, 30 to 40 a month is $10k before fees and production reply "FIVERR" + RT and i'll send you the build plan (must be following so i can dm)show more

There's a huge problem in the trucking industry that... nobody likes to talk about. I don't mind talking about it, though. I'm not going to hold back now. The FMCSA is a failure. They're allowing inexperienced drivers on our roads with your families. Some are here on work visas, and some are US citizens. How many people have to be injured or die before they start listening to us? Will you or a loved one be the next victim? I hope not. Trucking Across America with the Schmitts and I can fix this if you advocate for us.show more

Just did my first MOTS-c pin today and started... conservative at 2mg. Felt absolutely nothing right away, no energy surge or noticeable change yet. Did the pin at 5:00am and worked out at 6:30am. A few of you mentioned getting a pretty quick boost. For those who’ve run it (especially at lower doses like 2-5mg): How long did it take for you to notice energy, stamina, or “more in the tank” effects? Same day? Few days? Or does it build slower over 1–2 weeks? Am i on the right track with low-dose and let it build slowly, or crank this shit up? Reminder that MOTS-c is for research use only / not for human consumption. LFGshow more

I still see regular people have no clue how... we use AI to code They think it's like AI Agents and lots of hype bs But for me most of it isn't very difficult or deep or fancy but it's simply A LOT of autocompleting and prediction now Small things like this a few mins ago: Nomad List's weather API robot that pulls the weather every day to show on the site, sometimes it hits an error on the API side, and it sends that to my Telegram Then I wanna know "ok for what city is it erroring?" The moment I just put my cursor on "Bad API reply" it already knows what I want and autocompletes to "Bad API reply for city $city['name']" which will tell me for example "Bad API reply for Bangkok" Basic stuff like that saves me a lot of seconds and minutes in a day and it adds up!show more

4am. Tea is going cold. The house is quiet.... Everyone else is sleeping. Outside still dark through the window. 𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘪𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘐 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦 𝘮𝘺𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧. I lead product engineering by day. I manage 3 teams. I support 4M active users. I build iOS & Android apps and AI systems. I teach team members how to use Codex & Claude in their daily work to build things that move the business. But before any of that starts, I'm building. Agentic systems for AI-native businesses. Agents that think, route, and act without me holding their hand. The brain that remembers the whole business. AI automations that run while I sleep. A startup I'm growing with my partners in Bali. This 4am window is the only one that fully belongs to me. No Slack. No meetings. No one needs anything yet. Just me, a hot tea, and a problem worth solving. I'm 53. I spent 12 years in management. Good work, real impact and solving complex problems. But somewhere in there I stopped building with my own hands. Returning to code has been the most fun I've had in years. I think a lot of people have a version of this hunger. They just haven't found the window yet. Everybody has a window like this somewhere. Maybe it's 4am. Maybe it's a lunch break. Maybe it's the 45 minutes after the kids go to bed. What is the window that belongs to you?show more
