Simone Giertz

Simone Giertz describes how building humorous robots on YouTube grew into a creative career and a product design business. She explains how setting boundaries, staying flexible about content, and letting herself experiment helped her avoid being trapped by one format. After brain surgery, sharing parts of her experience brought practical and emotional support, and helped her reassess work, health, and relationships. Her advice is to ask for help, make room for play, and be kinder to yourself instead of measuring your life by constant output.
