Most digital spaces today feel like they were assembled by an AI ghostworker—filled with sterile stock photos, generic templates, and automated feeds. I wanted Futureproof Meridian to feel different: one built by my own hand, all my art pieces, photos and ‘the look’’
Alongside the Algorithm
For the past 6 months I didn’t just write; I spent the days tussling with the back stage digital maze, hand-placing every gold button, calibrating the spaces and establishing the layout and feel of our Substack “Futureproof Meridian.”
To delegate this to an agency or a generic template engine would be to miss the point entirely. I wanted to learn how to build a mirror filing system on GDrive, and how to navigate and use Substack, Gamma, and Canva. I want to advocate for human-led spaces, using AI alongside us, as a partner, rather than letting the algorithm drive.
