Highlights from 2025, on the journey building Frameo.AI, a chat-first AI native storytelling tool.

The system that shaped your soul, what you make, how you feel, and what you believe wasn't just designed. What happens when it falls apart?
A designer with no ML background spent a week building a neural network that grows its own architecture from scratch, and documented exactly what worked, what didn't, and why it might matter anyway.

Your soul was manufactured. Reckoning with that is probably the most honest thing you've got
Taste isn't something you're born with — it's something you build. A practical breakdown of how designers develop, sharpen, and apply genuine creative judgment in an age where AI can make anything but can't decide what matters.

Your portfolio has the same problem mine did. Here's how I fixed mine — and why you can fix yours too.

A cosmic fidget spinner with 90s ambient audio simulating the feeling of being stuck in loops, with emergent behaviour.

Tool-making is an art practice. Not the things you make with tools, the tools themselves are objects of power that shape how we think and who we become. I've spent eight years making tools as both generative art and AI products, and the line between them was never as clear as I thought. Every tool carries a philosophy. This is about what I've learned, and the questions I'm still sitting with.

I am Ani and I used to write quite a bit when I was younger.
