About
I'm Sebastian—a digital designer, coder, and co-founder who loves merging creative vision with technical skill. I've been lucky to work on some amazing things, ranging from projects for independents to collaborations with agencies like CōLab. I also co-founded Studio Nordost in 2021, which focuses on crafting brand identities, digital experiences, and content that help forward-thinking companies and founders grow. I'm also happy to have earned a few awards along the way (TDC Young Ones, ADC Talent Award, and an Honorable Mention at Awwwards).

The Founders Toolkit
Hi everyone,
I'm a co-founder of a design studio, and we're working on two free offers for early-stage founders to kickstart their brand:
Founder Toolbox: A compact guide on essentials like logo tips, free fonts, color schemes, and pitch deck tips. https://guides.studio-nordost.co...
Founder Feedback: Personalized feedback via Loom video on a key asset (e.g., landing page or pitch deck). https://tally.so/r/wggxqd
Beyond prompts: how are you really integrating AI into your creative workflow?
Like many here, I'm constantly experimenting with AI tools in my workflow. They're incredible for generating ideas, drafting content, coding snippets, etc. the efficiency gains are undeniable.
But I've been thinking about the deeper integration. Beyond using AI for specific outputs, how is it really changing your core process for creating something significant or achieving substantial growth?
Is originality becoming a remix game?
Lately, I ve been reflecting on how AI s training on the past shapes what it creates and how that might be shaping us, too.
It feels worth questioning because:
AI thrives on patterns,
It s built to remix what already exists,
New ideas now often start with a prompt, not a blank slate,
And we re all starting to think in templates.
I wonder:
What does original even mean when everything is built on everything else?
