Make money doing the work you believe in
A little note on Explorecore, one of the trends I forecasted for Canva’s 2026 Design Trends.
It reflects a collective shift towards taking more care and more agency over what we consume and how we consume it. How we find things, how we explore media and how much of ourselves we give to the act of paying attention.
This shift of course resulted in the rise of personal websites and Substack, alongside web design with interactive scroll-based storytelling and hover-to-reveal content that asks you to slow down rather than skim.
Discernment is key, but discernment can’t exist without exploration first.
Personally, I’m excited to rediscover website based discovery (over social media one) ... those “early internet” vibes. Falling into niche rabbit holes. Discovering things you’d never know existed unless you took the time to wander, page by page.
