Automate the boring part

The kind of automation that's actually worth building.

I like making things by hand when the decisions actually matter. I don't like repeating the exact same setup, export, cleanup, or file-management steps for the hundredth time.

That's why I keep looking at creative automation. Photoshop cleanup and halftone steps. Batch exports. Repetitive Illustrator work. Editing existing motion templates without digging through fifty comps just to swap the right assets.

Some of these workflows are still ideas or tests. I'm not going to pretend there's a finished Photoshop or After Effects automation product sitting on my desktop.

The goal isn't to replace the creative part. It's to stop wasting time getting to it.
