Who Are We Now: Design Identity in the Wake of the Algorithm | ft. Petrula Vrontikis

Who Are We Now? Petrula Vrontikis on Design, Identity & Staying Human in the Algorithm Age -

Welcome to one of the most soul-shifting conversations we’ve ever had on the Developing Life Podcast.

What happens to authorship, intuition, and creative power when algorithms shape our every move?

Petrula Vrontikis—renowned educator, speaker, and creative coach—joins us for a powerful and poetic exploration of how designers can reclaim their identity, voice, and humanity in an increasingly automated world.

From teaching at ArtCenter for over 30 years to redefining what it means to thrive as a creative, Petrula shares:

💥 The hidden emotional toll of algorithmic design
💥 Why identity is no longer fixed—and that’s a good thing
💥 Her personal journey to becoming a creative authority
💥 The transformational tension between growth and anxiety
💥 How to rediscover your joy and your confidence

If you’ve ever felt lost in the noise, this episode is your compass.
If you’ve questioned your worth in the face of fast content, this is your permission slip.
If you’re craving honest, real talk about design, life, and meaning—you’ve found your people.
