Lucía has been a freelance graphic designer for over 5 years in Seville, Spain. Before AI generation tools, her pace was: spend a whole day creating 3 proposals for clients to choose from.
Now? "In two hours, I can produce something really solid."
She uses Midjourney for inspiration exploration, Photoshop's AI features for quick composites, and ChatGPT to write copy descriptions. Time for repetitive tasks dropped by more than half. This means she can take on more projects per month without burning out.
"AI isn't designing for me. It gives me inspiration, helps me visualize ideas, removes work that has no value. What matters is still the designer's judgment."
Her monthly income is a stable 1,400 euros — for a Spanish freelance designer, that's a real increase thanks to AI. "If you know how to use it, AI won't steal your job — it multiplies you."
