For someone experiencing chest pain or breathlessness in a remote village, getting an ECG can mean travelling several kilometres to the nearest hospital. By the time the test is done, precious minutes may already have been lost. It was this gap that led Rajat Jain and his co-founders to build Sunfox Technologies, a health-tech company in Dehradun, Uttarakhand. They launched Spandan, a pocket-sized ECG device that connects to a smartphone. The device can record a medical-grade ECG and generate a report within minutes, without needing a conventional ECG machine, an external battery or an internet connection. Today, more than 60,000 Spandan devices have been deployed across India, reaching over 20,000 villages across 28 states. The technology has been used to screen around five million patients, and over 2,00,000 lives have been saved. The journey to making cardiac testing more accessible, however, began with a personal tragedy that changed the course of Rajat's life. The personal loss that started it For Rajat, the idea for Sunfox began with a loss that was difficult to make sense of. At 21, he lost a close friend to a heart attack. The experience made him realise that cardiac emergencies can strike without warning and that, even when help is available, the first few minutes can make a crucial difference. At the time, Rajat was a mechanical engineer working in the automotive field. But the loss made him look towards a problem that felt far more urgent: “How could technology make basic cardiac diagnosis available when a hospital or specialist was not close by?” That question led him and his co-founders — Arpit Jain, Saurabh Badola, Nitin Chandola and Sabit Rawat — to start Sunfox Technologies in Dehradun in 2016. They began working on ways to make an ECG, one of the first tests doctors use when a patient shows signs of a heart problem, smaller, more affordable and easier to use. The prototype was developed in 2017, laying the groundwork for the company's effort to take cardiac screening into places where access to specialised care is limited. How a smartphone became an ECG machine An ECG, or electrocardiogram, records the tiny electrical signals the heart produces with every beat. Doctors use it to identify a heart attack, a blocked artery or an irregular heartbeat. Traditionally, it requires a large machine, a trained technician and a hospital room. Spandan changes that. It is a portable 12-lead ECG device that connects to a smartphone, records the heart's signals and produces a report in about two minutes. "The advantage of using Spandan is that anyone with or without medical education can use it," says Jain. "Spandan devices use ECG sensors, smartphone integration, and software to record and display ECGs. It uses AI and analytics for report generation," he explains. "Also, it does not need an external battery to work; it uses power from your smartphone to work." That design was a deliberate choice, made with rural India in mind. "These features were very important for us as the device had to work in remote locations in the country without a regular source of electricity or internet connection," says Rajat. While the devices range in price from Rs 6,900 to Rs 75,000, depending on the model, Sunfox says a significant share of its users come from smaller towns and rural areas. Around 60 per cent of its users are from rural or semi-urban locations, with more than 20,000 devices currently active in these regions. Small clinics are among the buyers, as they see value in the device even at the Rs 16,000–17,000 price point, says the company. For healthcare facilities with limited access to conventional ECG machines, a portable device that can generate reports within minutes offers another way to conduct cardiac screening. For Sunfox, the goal was to make a heart test as routine as other everyday health checks, without hurting the wallet. Making cardiac monitoring accessible at home The device is also being used by individuals who want to monitor their heart health between doctor visits. Sandip Deodhar, 52, an accountant assistant from Kolhapur, has been using Spandan for the past month. He is hypertensive and diabetic, and says he would often spend Rs 200–300 every other week on ECG tests recommended during his consultations. After discovering Spandan online, he discussed it with his doctor, who agreed that he could use the device to record ECGs at home. "For the first three-four days, I ran multiple tests to review the reports and become accustomed to the device. Now, he tells me to notify him only if there is an abnormal test; otherwise, he says there's no need to even show him the report," says Sandip. The pilot: Testing in a hospital Before Spandan could go to villages, it had to prove itself inside a hospital. "We did the pilot in Fortis Hospital in Uttarakhand in 2018-19 along with SELCO Foundation," shares Rajat. The team wanted answers to two questions. "We were trying to prove the validity and accuracy of our devices and wanted to know how user-friendly our devices are so that frontline health workers with minimal training could operate them." Then, in 2021, a study was conducted at Fortis Escorts Hospital in Dehradun under the supervision of cardiologists. The patients were first tested on the hospital's standard ECG machine. Within five minutes, the same patients were tested on Spandan, and a cardiologist reviewed the readings independently. Of the 153 patients enrolled, 110 were counted in the final results, and Spandan's reading matched that of the standard machine in 108 of those 110 cases. It was a small study, but it provided a base for what followed. Larger hospital studies came next, including a study of 2,799 patients, published in 2025 in the Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, and one in Meerut involving 184 patients with chest pain. The company says the count is now 30 studies. "We have compared the performance of Spandan with standard ECG devices in more than 30,000 patients and have achieved a 99.7% accuracy," says Rajat. How Sunfox found its footing Proving Spandan in a hospital was one step. Getting it into the field brought a different set of challenges. The first problem was money. "The biggest challenge for us was overcoming a funding crunch while developing a health device, which conventionally requires a large investment," says Rajat. In the early days, the founders paid for the work themselves. "When we first started, there was no funding or grant. We self-sponsored in most part and also did side-gigs to support the research and development of our devices," he recalls. The second problem was testing the device where it was meant to be used. A hospital in Dehradun is very different from a village clinic, and a device built for villages had to be tried in villages. "Secondly, we had difficulty in validating the results of our device in low-resource and rural areas because we couldn't get too many patients there," says Jain. There was also the matter of trust. Sunfox was entering India's medical device sector, which is known for high entry barriers, strict rules, heavy investment and a market crowded with imported products. Rajat says, “We faced constant doubts about whether medical technology built in India could be trusted.” Help arrived in stages. In 2017, the first prototype was ready, and the team moved into its first office at a technology incubator at Graphic Era University in Dehradun. Government funding followed. "Later, we received funding from the state government of Uttarakhand, from our university, and also from the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Government of India, to conduct the pilot tests," says Jain. Private money came next. “In 2022, Sunfox appeared on Shark Tank India, where we got funding of Rs 1 crore,” adds Rajat. Larger funding has followed since. In August 2024, Sunfox raised Rs 15 crore in a round led by Venture Catalysts. Inc42 also reports that the company had earlier received Rs 5 crore from USAID through its SAMRIDH Health programme and LetsVenture. In September 2026, Sunfox raised $7 million (INR 66 crore) in a Series A funding round led by renowned investor Ashish Kacholia, Lashit Sanghvi, Alchemy Capital and 3one4 Capital. The real-life challenge Now the product had to be tested in real-life settings. Government partnerships gave Sunfox access to rural clinics. In December 2020, the Government of India's biotech agency BIRAC and the industry body Nasscom launched JanCare, a challenge offering health-tech startups pilot test beds at rural health centres in partnership with state governments. Sunfox took part, deploying eight devices across six CHCs and PHCs in Nagaland and two CHCs in Uttar Pradesh. In July 2022, Sunfox also worked with the Uttarakhand government to set up a free screening camp at Sonprayag, where the Kedarnath trek begins. Trained local volunteers screened pilgrims with Spandan and sent abnormal readings over WhatsApp to a cardiologist in Dehradun. In the first month, the camp screened nearly 1,500 people and referred 59 to a local doctor. These pilots showed that health workers without specialist training could operate the device, and larger deployments followed. SAMRIDH, the USAID-backed programme, says its support helped place 1,551 Spandan units in public and private clinics across Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, and Delhi, screening 63,486 people. From a prototype to 60,000 devices What began as a self-funded lab in Dehradun has since grown into a nationwide deployment. More than 60,000 Spandan devices are now in use, covering over 20,000 villages. "We have deployed over 60,000 devices in the country, from Himalayan states like Uttarakhand to Nagaland in the North-east and heavily forested and remote areas in Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand," says Rajat. State governments have come on board. "We are working with the state governments of Uttarakhand and Haryana so that any patient with symptoms of heart ailments can get access to quick diagnosis and treatment," he says. The two-minute turnaround is particularly significant in these settings. "The healthcare worker, whether a nurse, technician or even doctor, puts the leads on the patient and receives an ECG within 3 minutes, with a clinician-reviewed diagnosis and prescription," Jain explains. The results show up in the numbers. Until October 2026, "In Uttarakhand, we have worked in CHCs and PHCs on the Char Dham Yatra route and have screened more than 13100 pilgrims and identified 463 critical patients who could receive treatment on time," he says. In Haryana, "We have deployed our devices in more than 597 PHCs and CHCs and conducted ECGs for 60,000 people and detected 2000 critical cases since June." The device can also flag the most dangerous kind of heart attack early. "We can detect the deadliest kind of heart attack, called STEMI, in less than an hour of it first occurring, saving thousands of lives," says Jain. The road ahead In August 2026, Sunfox marked 10 years with the opening of an innovation hub in Dehradun. Its next goal is to take Spandan beyond India. “We plan to expand in low- and middle-income countries, especially in Africa and South Asia, and we have already started.” According to SAMRIDH, more than 400 Spandan devices are in use across Africa. The mission has not changed since the day Jain lost his friend. "Most heart attacks in India are preventable if diagnosed early," he says. "Our vision is to take this portable ECG technology and make it so ubiquitous that everyone has access to it, just as they do for thermometers and BP machines." And if the numbers are anything to go by, Sunfox is surely on its way to success.

Last updated: 12 November 2026. Fees and platform rules change — check them at the time of publishing before you rely on a figure. By Hamza, Dawraan. If you freelance from Pakistan — writing, designing, editing video, doing virtual assistance, or building websites — AI tools can genuinely make your work faster and better. They can help you draft faster, polish your English, design a thumbnail in minutes instead of hours, transcribe a meeting, or organise a messy brief into a clear plan. What they cannot do is earn money for you on their own. There is no tool you can switch on and watch income arrive. Every rupee a freelancer earns still comes from a client paying for a finished service, and the AI is only the helper that lets you deliver that service faster, cheaper, or to a higher standard. That distinction matters, because a lot of the advice aimed at Pakistani beginners gets it backwards. You will see videos promising that one AI tool will replace a skill, or that you can sell AI output with no learning at all. Clients notice that kind of work quickly — generic text, wrong facts, images with mangled hands or misspelt words — and on platforms like Upwork and Fiverr, a few bad reviews can stall a new profile for months. The freelancers who actually benefit from AI are the ones who already have a service to sell and use AI to do the slow parts of it well. So this guide starts from that honest position: pick a service first, then pick the one or two tools that speed it up. Do not buy five subscriptions before you have a single client. This article is the pillar guide for AI tools on Dawraan. It covers the tools most useful to Pakistani freelancers in 2026, what each one actually does, what it costs, how to pay for it from Pakistan, and which free combination is enough to start. The detailed how-to guides linked at the end go deeper on ChatGPT, on writing Upwork proposals with AI, and on turning AI-assisted skills into paid work. Short answer The best AI tools for freelancers in Pakistan in 2026 are ChatGPT for writing and client messages, Canva Magic Studio for design, CapCut for video editing, and Grammarly. Most have a free tier that is enough to start. AI does not earn money by itself — it speeds up a service you already sell, and you must check its output. How do you choose an AI tool before you pay for anything? Before comparing names, answer three questions. First, what service are you selling? A writer needs a drafting and editing helper; a designer needs image and layout tools; a video editor needs transcription and captioning; a virtual assistant needs organisation and meeting notes. A tool that is perfect for one of those jobs is useless for another. Second, what is the slow, boring, or error-prone part of that service? That is where AI helps most — first drafts, proofreading, background removal, transcribing an hour-long call, or turning a long brief into a checklist. Third, what can you already do without AI? If you cannot write a clear paragraph, design a clean layout, or edit a video, AI will not fix that. It will only produce a faster version of the same weakness. Learn the skill, then add the tool. A good rule for beginners in Pakistan is to start free. Almost every tool in this guide has a free tier that is enough for your first few clients. Pay for a subscription only when you can point to a specific limit you keep hitting — for example, you run out of ChatGPT messages every day, or you need Canva's background remover several times a week. If you cannot name the limit, you do not need the paid plan yet. And never pay for a tool through a random reseller or a shared account sold on WhatsApp or Facebook. Shared accounts get banned, your work can disappear, and you may lose access in the middle of a client project. Pay the official provider, with your own account, even if it costs more. What are the best AI tools for freelancers in Pakistan? Tool Best for Free tier Paid price (checked Nov 2026) ChatGPT Writing, research, planning, client messages Yes — free plan with limits Plus about $20/month; Go about $8/month — check at the time of publishing Claude Long documents, careful editing, analysis Pro about $20/month — check at the time of publishing Google Gemini Research, Google Docs/Sheets help, summaries AI Pro about $19.99/month — check at the time of publishing Canva (Magic Studio) Social posts, thumbnails, presentations, CVs Yes — generous free tier Pro listed at about $18/month billed monthly or about $144/year in some checks, and about $180/year in others — check at the time of publishing Grammarly Grammar, tone, and clarity in English Yes — basic checks free Pro about $12/month billed annually or about $30/month billed monthly in different sources — check at the time of publishing Midjourney High-quality AI images for design work No free tier $10–$120/month (Basic to Mega) — check at the time of publishing Leonardo AI AI images with a free daily allowance Yes — free daily credits Paid plans from about $10/month — check at the time of publishing CapCut Video editing, captions, and short-form clips Yes — free version Pro price varies by region — check at the time of publishing Notion AI Notes, plans, client trackers, and wikis Limited free use Bundled in paid Notion plans — check at the time of publishing Otter.ai Transcribing meetings and interviews Yes — limited free minutes Prices are in US dollars, before tax, and they change. The table gives you a realistic budget, not a quote. Always check the price inside your own account before you pay. 1. ChatGPT — The All-Rounder Most Freelancers Should Learn First ChatGPT is the single most useful AI tool for most Pakistani freelancers, because it helps with so many parts of the job: drafting, rewriting, summarising, brainstorming, planning, answering client questions, and preparing proposals. The free plan is enough to learn with. It gives you everyday chat with usage limits, and for many beginners that is all they need for weeks. ChatGPT Plus, at about $20 a month (checked November 2026), adds higher limits, access to more advanced models, and extra features such as file uploads and image generation. There is also a cheaper Go plan at about $8 a month in some markets, with more than the free plan but less than Plus — check whether it is available on your account at the time of publishing, because availability and price vary by country. What makes ChatGPT valuable is not that it writes for you, but that it helps you think through the work. A freelance writer can ask it to outline an article from a client's brief, then write the article themselves using that structure. A virtual assistant can paste in a messy set of meeting notes and ask for a clean action list. A developer can ask it to explain an error message in plain language. The output is a starting point, never the finished product. You must check every fact it gives you, because ChatGPT can sound confident while being wrong — inventing statistics, links, or quotes that do not exist. Never paste a client's confidential information into it without thinking, and never send its first draft to a client untouched. Your job is to edit, verify, and add the judgement only you can provide. Our full guide explains this in detail: How to Use ChatGPT for Freelancing in Pakistan (2026). 2. Claude and Google Gemini — The Strong Alternatives You do not need three chatbots, but it helps to know the alternatives, because each has a strength. Claude, from Anthropic, is widely praised for long documents and careful, natural-sounding editing. If your work involves reading a long PDF, summarising a report, or rewriting a document so it reads smoothly, Claude is often the better choice. Its Pro plan is about $20 a month (checked November 2026). Google Gemini is the natural choice if you live in Google Docs, Sheets, or Gmail, because it connects with those tools and is strong at research-style questions with sources. Its AI Pro plan is listed at about $19.99 a month (checked November 2026). Both have free tiers. A practical approach is to use ChatGPT as your main tool and keep a free Claude or Gemini account as a second opinion. When a draft feels off, paste it into the other tool and ask what is weak or unclear. Comparing two drafts often shows you problems you would have missed alone. Do not pay for two $20 subscriptions until your freelance income comfortably covers them. 3. Canva — Design Work Without Being a Designer Canva is the tool that has done the most for beginner freelancers in Pakistan, because it lets someone with no design degree produce clean, professional-looking graphics: social media posts, YouTube thumbnails, presentations, CVs, business cards, and simple logos. Its free tier is genuinely generous — thousands of templates, fonts, and stock photos. Canva's AI features, under the name Magic Studio, can generate images, remove backgrounds, expand a picture, or rewrite text inside a design. Canva Pro adds the background remover, premium templates and stock, brand kits, and the ability to resize a design for every platform in one click. The price is where you must be careful: different checks in late 2026 list Pro at about $18 a month billed monthly, about $144 a year on annual billing, and about $180 a year in other listings. That conflict is exactly why this guide says to check at the time of publishing — do not rely on any single figure, including this one. Look at the price shown in your own Canva account before paying. The honest limit of Canva is that templates look like templates. If you sell design services, clients will eventually want original work, and Canva alone will not teach you layout, colour, or typography. Use it to deliver fast, clean work for small clients, and keep learning real design principles alongside it. And always check AI-generated images inside Canva for errors — misspelt words in a thumbnail are the most common giveaway, and a client will spot them before you do. 4. Grammarly — Polish Your English Before a Client Sees It For many Pakistani freelancers, English is the second language, and small grammar mistakes can cost work — especially in writing, customer support, and virtual assistance. Grammarly checks spelling, grammar, punctuation, and tone as you type, in your browser, in Google Docs, and in email. The free version catches basic errors and is enough for most beginners. The paid Pro plan adds tone suggestions, full-sentence rewrites, and plagiarism checks. Prices vary and conflict across sources: some list Pro at about $12 a month billed annually, others at about $30 a month billed monthly — check at the time of publishing. Grammarly is a checker, not a writer. Let it catch your mistakes, but do not accept every suggestion blindly; it sometimes flattens your voice or changes a meaning. Read each suggestion and decide. Over time, the best use of Grammarly is to learn from it — notice the mistakes it flags repeatedly, and stop making them. That is a skill that stays with you even if you cancel the subscription. 5. Midjourney and Leonardo AI — AI Images for Designers If you sell design, thumbnails, book covers, or social media content, AI image tools can be a real advantage. Midjourney produces some of the most striking AI images available, and many designers use it for concept art, backgrounds, and illustrations. It costs $10 a month for Basic, $30 for Standard, $60 for Pro, and $120 for Mega (checked November 2026), with no free tier and no free trial — so do not pay for it until you have a client who needs that kind of image work. Note also that on the cheaper plans your images are public by default, which matters if a client wants private work. Leonardo AI is a friendlier starting point: it gives free daily credits, so you can practise and even do small jobs without paying, and its paid plans start at about $10 a month — check at the time of publishing. For most beginners, Leonardo's free tier plus Canva is the sensible combination, and Midjourney is a later upgrade. Whoever generates the image, you are responsible for it. Check the image for distorted hands, extra fingers, garbled text, and wrong details. Read the tool's terms on commercial use, and tell your client the image is AI-assisted if they ask — honesty protects you if they later discover it themselves. 6. CapCut and Descript — Video and Audio Help Short video is one of the fastest-growing freelance services in Pakistan — Reels, TikToks, YouTube Shorts, and product videos for small businesses. CapCut is the most popular free editor for this work. Its free version handles cutting, captions, effects, and templates, and its AI features can generate automatic captions, remove a background, or suggest cuts. CapCut Pro adds more effects, templates, and cloud storage; its price varies by region and by whether you pay through the app store or the website, so check at the time of publishing. Descript is a different kind of tool: it transcribes your audio or video into text, lets you edit the video by editing the text, and can remove filler words such as "um" automatically. That is a huge time-saver for podcast editing, YouTube videos, and interview work. Both tools have free tiers worth trying before you pay. 7. Notion AI and Otter.ai — Organisation and Meeting Notes Freelancing is not only the work itself; it is also keeping track of clients, deadlines, invoices, and conversations. Notion is a free note-taking and planning app that many freelancers use as a simple client tracker: one page per client, with the brief, the deadline, the price, and the payment status. Notion AI can summarise long notes, turn a messy brainstorm into a plan, or draft a checklist from a brief. It is available in limited form for free and bundled into paid Notion plans — check the current terms at the time of publishing. Otter.ai records and transcribes meetings, so a virtual assistant or researcher can send a client a clean summary instead of rough notes. Its free plan covers a limited number of minutes a month, with paid plans from about $10 a month — check at the time of publishing. Always tell people you are recording or transcribing a meeting, and get their agreement first. How do you pay for AI tools from Pakistan? This is the practical part many guides skip, and it causes real problems for beginners. PayPal is not available for Pakistani residents — you cannot open a PayPal account with a Pakistani address or receive money through it, and trying to work around that with a foreign account can get funds frozen. That matters twice: you cannot pay for most AI tools with PayPal, and you cannot receive client payments through it either. The usual route for paying for AI subscriptions is an international debit card from a Pakistani bank — for example, a Visa or Mastercard debit card with international transactions enabled. Many freelancers use cards from banks such as Meezan, HBL, or UBL, or a fintech card from SadaPay or NayaPay, but whether a particular card works with a particular tool changes over time, and some banks block recurring international payments by default. Before you subscribe to anything, check three things at the time of publishing: whether the tool accepts your card, whether your bank allows international online payments (you may need to enable it in the app or by calling the bank), and what the rupee cost will be after the bank's exchange rate and any taxes or fees. A $20 subscription is not Rs. 5,600 exactly — the exchange rate, the bank's markup, and any tax can push it noticeably higher, so check the actual deduction on your first payment. If a payment fails, do not buy a shared account from a stranger on social media. Either fix the card issue with your bank or keep using the free tier until you can pay officially. What is in the free AI starter stack? If you are starting with no income, this combination covers most freelance work for free: ChatGPT free for drafting and planning, Gemini free for research, Canva free for design, Grammarly free for proofreading, CapCut free for video, and Leonardo free credits for images. Add Google Docs, Sheets, and Drive, which are free and are what most clients already use. That stack costs nothing and is enough to complete real paid jobs. Upgrade one tool at a time, only when a limit is costing you time or clients, and only when the income from freelancing covers the subscription with money left over. A good test is this: if the tool saves you at least two hours a month, or helps you win one extra job, it has paid for itself. If it does not, cancel it. AI Tools by Freelance Skill Content writing and blogging: ChatGPT or Claude for outlines and drafts, Grammarly for proofreading, Gemini for research. Your skill is still the writing — AI gives you a faster first draft, not a finished article. Graphic design and social media: Canva for layouts and posts, Leonardo for images, ChatGPT for captions and content ideas. Learn basic design principles so your work does not look like every other template. Video editing: CapCut for editing and captions, Descript for transcription and podcast work, ChatGPT for scripts and titles. Virtual assistance and data entry: Notion for tracking, Otter.ai for meeting notes, ChatGPT for drafting emails and summarising documents. Accuracy and reliability matter more than speed here. Web development and coding: ChatGPT or Claude for explaining errors, drafting code snippets, and writing documentation. You still need to understand the code you deliver — never hand a client code you cannot explain. SEO and digital marketing: ChatGPT for keyword ideas and outlines, Gemini for research, Canva for visuals, Google's own free tools (Search Console, Analytics) for measurement. AI cannot replace real SEO knowledge. Mistakes to Avoid First, do not sell raw AI output as your own finished work. Clients and platforms can tell, and on Upwork, dishonest or copy-paste proposals can hurt your account. Second, do not trust AI facts without checking them. If ChatGPT gives you a statistic, a price, or a link, verify it from the original source before you put it in a client's project. Third, do not put a client's private information — their business data, customer lists, or unpublished work — into a free AI tool without thinking about where that data goes. Fourth, do not buy every tool at once. One good tool you know deeply beats five subscriptions you barely use. And fifth, do not believe any video or post that promises a specific income from an AI tool. No tool can guarantee earnings, and anyone who promises that is selling you a course, not a career. Frequently Asked Questions What is the best free AI tool for freelancers in Pakistan? For most beginners, ChatGPT's free plan is the best starting point, because it helps with writing, planning, research, and client messages in one place. Pair it with Canva free for design and Grammarly free for proofreading, and you have a complete starter stack that costs nothing. Upgrade only when you hit a specific limit. Can I use ChatGPT for free in Pakistan? Yes. ChatGPT's free plan is available in Pakistan, with daily usage limits. You do not need a VPN or a foreign account. The paid Plus plan, at about $20 a month (checked November 2026), is optional and mainly buys higher limits and extra features. Start free and upgrade only when the free limits slow you down. How do I pay for ChatGPT Plus from Pakistan? PayPal cannot be used in Pakistan for this, so the usual route is an international debit card from a Pakistani bank, or a fintech card that supports international online payments. Check with your bank that international transactions are enabled, and check the price and the rupee deduction at the time of publishing, because exchange rates and bank charges change. Is it safe to use AI tools for client work? It is safe if you use them honestly and carefully. Use AI to draft, brainstorm, and polish, then edit and verify everything yourself. Do not paste a client's confidential data into an AI tool without considering the tool's privacy terms, do not present raw AI output as finished work, and tell the client the work is AI-assisted if they ask. Will AI tools replace freelancers? No — not the freelancers who use them well. AI replaces the slowest, most repetitive parts of freelance work, which means clients expect faster delivery and higher quality. Freelancers who learn to use AI as a helper, while keeping their judgement, creativity, and client skills, are more competitive, not less. The risk is for freelancers who refuse to learn the tools, or who rely on them so completely that their work becomes generic. Sources OpenAI — What is ChatGPT Plus?

Austin's new convention center, which started its ongoing construction in September of 2025, has revealed 10 local artists whose work it will incorporate in its final design. A press release says the works will be "will be architecturally integrated into the new Austin Convention Center." So far, we only know the artists selected, not what their designs are or even which areas, if any, they're working in. At least some fo them will be visible outside of the building. The final 10 were selected from a group of more than 80 nominees recommended by local arts and culture leaders, the release says. Included in the criteria were the artist's ability to represent the culture of Austin and their interest in working with design and construction teams already contributing to the project. The initiative is managed by Art in Public Places, the city's public art program. Guests to the center, which is scheduled to open in 2029, can expect to see monumental-scale works in a range of styles. One design objective is to place them where visitors will encounter them naturally while moving through the building. More, smaller works will also be commissioned in Phase II of construction, which should start in 2027. The selected artists for Phase I commissions are: Alejandra Almuelle — clay sculpture artist who focuses on the human form Rex Hamilton — muralist whose work of people with flower heads are visible from I-35 outside of Whole Foods Market and from North Lamar Boulevard underpass at Third Street. Tsz Kam — surrealist pattern and decoration artist who uses imagery from their birthplace, Hong Kong Dave McClinton — digital collage artist and graphic designer who explores Black identity Aaron Michalovic — wood and furniture artist who utilizes color and modern abstract shapes Diego Miró-Rivera — site-specific natural world artist whose "conversation stones" can be seen alongside the Ann and Roy Butler Hike-and-Bike Trail Manik Raj Nakra — muralist who paints colorful jungle scenes, including the one currently visible on the side of the Contemporary Austin Dawn Okoro — portraiture artist whose work features Black bodies against colorful backgrounds Carmen Rangel — painted and mosaic muralist whose work (spelling "Be Well") can be seen next to Hamilton's at the North Lamar underpass late artist Betelhem Makonnen (1972-2026) — multimedia artist originally from Ethiopia, who was a curator for the Fusebox Festival and whose team is continuing her work The works have a budget of $17.7 million, funded by the Hotel Occupancy Tax (HOT), Project Financing Zone revenues. “Art is an essential part of Austin’s identity, and we wanted the Convention Center to reflect that,” said the center's interim director, Katy Zamesnik, in a press release. “These artists bring unique perspectives and incredible originality to the project. Their work will help transform the Convention Center from a place people visit for an event into a place that tells the story of Austin. It invites global travelers to experience our city’s creative culture up close while they attend an event at the Center and allows Austinites to celebrate in that culture every day.”

The prevailing philosophy for 2027 hair design marks a departure from rigid architectural silhouettes and heavy lacquers. The industry is shifting toward a standard where the quality of the cut dictates the ease of the style, prioritizing the hair's innate behavior over the corrective power of styling tools. Rather than relying on indiscriminate thinning or haphazard layering, stylists are employing precise, targeted cuts to remove bulk and emphasize natural texture, allowing the hair to fall into place during a simple blow-dry. Short Forms and Textural Contrast For short hair, the "Mixie"-a hybrid of the pixie and the mullet-leverages a contrast between tight sides and elongated nape lengths. On fine hair, this specific distribution of mass creates an illusion of density; on coarser textures, the result is a deliberate, grunge-inspired edge, requiring only a texturizing paste to maintain movement. The French Garçonne is evolving toward a softer expression via an extended crown. Here, deep thinning is utilized to ensure the strands remain mobile and fluid. In contrast, the short blunt bob employs a dense, un-thinned perimeter cut above the chin. By eliminating the thinning of the ends, the cut achieves a graphic precision and a perceived thickness that serves both fine and dense hair types.

Summary adidas Originals and SP5DER have reunited for a head-to-toe collection featuring the hybrid F50 Formotion SP5DERThe release includes two neon footwear colorways alongside web-print tracksuits graphic tees Cordura backpacks and balaclavasThe capsule launches November 13 on KINGSPIDER CO followed by a global release November 14 on CONFIRMED adidas Originals and streetwear imprint SP5DER have reunited to introduce a full head-to-toe collection, headlined by two vibrant iterations of the F50 Formotion SP5DER. Following their initial summer capsule that fused punk aesthetics with football heritage, the new collaborative capsule bridges performance sport functionality with bold street-ready sensibilities. At the center of the drop is the hybrid F50 Formotion SP5DER, rendered in two high-contrast neon palettes: red with pink accents and green with black accents. Blending the archival design language of the Adizero F50 III football boot with modern adidas running tooling, the silhouette is constructed with zig-zag mesh uppers and structural leather overlays. The technical build is elevated by lenticular badges, SP5DER graphics along the heel counters, and custom metal hang tags. Accompanying the footwear is a complementary apparel and accessories capsule informed by SP5DER’s signature punk energy and web motifs. A matching tracksuit arrives in black and pink executions featuring a large web graphic on the reverse, flanked by two graphic t-shirts in white with red accents and black with green accents. The motif continues onto a utilitarian black nylon Cordura backpack with debossed web detailing, while co-branded balaclavas round out the range in three distinct color combinations: black with silver, pink with red, and red with pink.

TOKYO, Nov. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Casio Computer Co., Ltd. announced today the release of the latest addition to the family of G-SHOCK shock-resistant watches. The new GM-6900XG is the second collaboration timepiece created with XG, a seven-member artist group with a global presence. XG Consisting of JURIN, CHISA, HINATA, HARVEY, JURIA, MAYA, and COCONA, XG are pioneering X-POP as a new musical genre and creating a style all their own. Their boundary-pushing spirit closely aligns with G-SHOCK, a unique brand known for its shock resistance and distinctive design — making XG a natural choice as the brand's global ambassador in July 2025. The new GM-6900XG is a shock-resistant watch designed under the creative concept "TIME, INKED ON YOU." Incorporating XG's ideas and creative vision, the watch reflects the bond between XG and their fandom, known as ALPHAZ. Built on the 6900 style with its distinctive triple-graph dial, the watch pairs a silvery metal bezel with a translucent band. The metal symbolizes XG's journey and the strength they have gained along the way, while the translucent material evokes their potential as they continue into the future without fear of change. The band features the group's full name "Xtraordinary Genes" in a stylized graphic that creates the bold look of a tattoo on the wrist, expressing the limitless, boundary-defying possibilities that XG embodies. The front button bears an "X" mark, and when pressed, the backlight reveals a silhouette of a howling wolf, symbolizing ALPHAZ. The case back is engraved with the Japanese character 緒. Taken from hesonoo, the call XG members make during their pre-show huddle, the character symbolizes the strong bonds among them. The watch comes in special packaging featuring a graphic on the bottom with seven wolves representing the seven XG members. ■ Interview Video https://youtu.be/vTL_9BoevZk ■ Special Site https://gshock.casio.com/intl/contents/ambassador/xg/g-shock-xg-collab-vol2/ GM-6900XG

In a world facing environmental, social and economic challenges, how we manage changes to our natural and built environments will be crucial for our future. In our urbanised world, how we design and plan our cities impacts our environmental sustainability, health and even happiness. This programme will equip you with the skills to be part of making progressive changes in your place. In practice, there is a common tension between those developing and interpreting planning policy on the one hand, and the designers of cities on the other. This programme brings these groups together to engage in project-based learning. You will develop planning research, urban analysis and design skills before deciding whether to complete an urban design thesis or dissertation. Both of these options can be completed as work-based studies with opportunities for summer placements.

Opera Gallery Miami is pleased to present 'Face to Face', an exhibition bringing together the work of Alex Katz and Julian Opie around one of art's most persistent subjects: the human figure. Through paintings, sculptures and video works, the exhibition considers how each artist simplifies the figure to make it immediate and recognizable. Although their visual languages differ, both artists pare back descriptive detail to focus on the elements that make a figure legible—a face, a gesture, a posture or the outline of a body. Their approaches diverge, however, in what remains: Katz retains the individuality of his subjects, while Opie pushes the figure towards a more universal visual language. Alex Katz came of age in the New York art world when Abstract Expressionism dominated, yet remained committed to figuration throughout his career. Taking inspiration from film clo
Criminology focuses on the causes and consequences of crime, as well as how the criminal justice system responds to crime. Criminologists are interested in how activities come to be defined as criminal, and why definitions of crime vary across countries and over time. The subject includes a wide range of social and psychological theories that attempt to explain criminal behaviour and the effective operation of the criminal justice system. Social Policy is an applied and critical Social Sciences subject. Students learn how to identify, but also how to tackle, major policy problems and challenges that we face in our world today. They do this by applying core social sciences concepts to social problems such as gender, ethnic and other inequalities, eldercare, children's rights and sustainability. As Social Policy student you will gain knowledge of how governments and other sectors make policies, how they affect people’s welfare, and how to consider if these measures are fit for purpose and how they can be improved.

Marketing That Matters: Learning to Do Work That Makes a Difference [email protected] Wed, 11/11/2026 - 15:08 For Brian Scharp, marketing has never been just about convincing someone to buy something. He sees it as a way to help organizations solve problems, connect with people, and, in some cases, make a positive difference in the world. Scharp has taught marketing at Calvin as an adjunct professor for more than 16 years. About two years ago, he expanded his role with the university, joining the Calvin University School of Business (CUSB) staff in a part-time position while continuing his work in the marketing industry. He is also the owner and chief strategy officer of Grey Matter Group, a full-service marketing, design and communications agency based in downtown Grand Rapids. That combination of professional experience, educational background, and classroom teaching shapes the way Scharp teaches. His students don’t just learn marketing concepts from a textbook, they have opportunities to apply those concepts to real clients, real challenges, and the kinds of decisions they will encounter in their careers. “I’m very practitioner-focused,” Scharp said. “While I have almost four degrees in marketing, my primary goal is to help make the learning engagement practical for our business students.” From the classroom to the client Marketing students often wonder how the strategic frameworks and theories they encounter in a textbook will actually help them once they enter the workforce. Scharp tries to answer that question in the classroom. He regularly brings professionals and clients into his courses, giving students opportunities to apply what they're learning to actual marketing challenges. Because he continues to operate an active agency that serves clients at the local, national, and global level, he has a steady stream of real-world examples to draw from. Students aren't simply talking about how campaigns work. They are considering why certain approaches work, how organizations communicate with their audiences, and how strategic decisions affect real people and organizations. “Here's how” is often more powerful than simply explaining “what.” That approach also changes the classroom dynamic. Students are asked to take what they have learned and do something with it - to think strategically, work with others, and make decisions when the answer isn't already provided. Many of Scharp’s classes are built around client projects. Students work in teams throughout the semester to address a real client’s needs. But even forming those teams becomes part of the learning. Scharp encourages students not simply to work with their friends but to recognize the different strengths and weaknesses God has given each person. “If everyone in your group is an accounting major, but we have somebody in our class that's a graphic design major, you're going to want to invite someone that has some visual design skills on your team,” he said. Image The goal is to build teams whose strengths complement one another. That is a lesson that extends beyond a marketing class. It is the kind of experience students will encounter throughout their careers: working with people who think differently, bring different skills, and approach problems from different perspectives. When faith and work belong together For Scharp, connecting classroom learning with professional practice is only part of the story. He also wants students to see that their faith and their careers do not have to occupy separate parts of their lives. Scharp describes marketing as “redemptive work.” The idea challenges a common assumption that business success and Christian faith exist in separate worlds. Instead, he encourages students to consider how their skills can be used to serve others and contribute to something larger than themselves. He points to his agency’s work with faith-based organizations and nonprofits like Compassion International, Water for Good or Crossroads Prison Ministries -- organizations focused on reaching more people with the truth of God’s love. In those situations, marketing becomes a tool for helping an organization carry out its mission. But the lesson isn't limited to explicitly Christian organizations. Scharp wants students to understand that they can bring their faith, values, and character into whatever professional environment they enter. “You can be a believer and engage in actively pursuing your faith, and you can do world-class marketing at the same time,” he said. “Just as Jesus came not to be served but to serve, marketing at its core is about seeing the dignity of our audience and genuinely serving their needs.” That perspective becomes part of the way students think about their future, not simply what job they want, but how they want to approach the work they are called to do. Learning to step into the professional world Scharp has seen what happens when Calvin students make that transition. He currently employs one Calvin graduate and one Calvin intern at Grey Matter Group, and he said they have been ready to contribute with less of the additional training he has experienced with graduates and interns from other schools. One example stands out. A recent Calvin graduate, Myla (Kar) Triemstra had been working at the agency for about six months when she joined a team working with a major client from Los Angeles. After a large industry event in Chicago, Scharp watched as she naturally stepped into the conversation with the clients’ marketing executives, facilitating discussion, building relationships and contributing with confidence. She had been out of college for only months. For Scharp, that moment reflected something he sees in Calvin students: they have been challenged academically, given opportunities to practice their skills, and encouraged to understand their identity and values. “They hit the ground running,” he said. That preparation doesn't mean students leave Calvin knowing everything. Instead, they leave having practiced how to learn, how to work with others, and how to approach unfamiliar problems. The relationship doesn't end at graduation For Scharp, some of the most meaningful evidence of that preparation comes years later, when former students reach out. One former student contacted him after graduation while pursuing an opportunity at Stryker. She had made it through multiple rounds of interviews and had been given a final challenge: solve a problem and explain her approach to the company. She called Scharp because she remembered the strategic frameworks they had discussed in class. He didn't solve the problem for her. Instead, he helped her think through the process, reminding her of tools she had already learned and encouraging her to demonstrate how she could approach the problem even if she didn't have every answer. A few weeks later, she called with the news. She got the job. For Scharp, the significance wasn't simply that a former student landed a position at a highly regarded company. It was that she had remembered a Calvin business professor as someone she could call when she faced a challenge. “I thought that was really cool,” he said. Those relationships are intentional in Scharp’s classroom. He wants students to feel comfortable asking questions, admitting what they don't know, and seeking guidance. That might mean talking through a career question, helping an advisee think through a marketing plan for a summer job or simply listening. He also values the diversity of perspectives students bring to the classroom, particularly through Calvin's international student community. When discussing a campaign, he might ask students to consider how the message would be understood in Korea, India, Singapore or another cultural context. The classroom becomes a place where students learn not only marketing, but how to listen. A place to begin Scharp believes Grand Rapids provides students with a particularly rich environment for beginning a career in marketing. West Michigan offers opportunities across agencies, corporations, startups, nonprofits, higher education, manufacturing, and other industries. Students can explore different kinds of professional environments and discover where their skills and interests fit. His own daughter experienced that choice firsthand. After studying graphic design, she was offered a position with a company where she had completed an internship rather than joining her father's agency. Scharp was disappointed but also pleased. She had options. That, in many ways, is what he wants for his students. Not a predetermined career path, but the skills, experience, relationships, and confidence to recognize an opportunity and know what to do when it arrives. For Scharp, teaching at Calvin provides an opportunity to help students make that connection, to take what they are learning, test it against real-world challenges, consider how their faith shapes their work, and begin discovering where they can contribute. The next step belongs to them.

By MARVIE SERVANDE In the tattoo industry, establishing oneself as an artist takes more than technical precision. For Mia Gaspar, the artist behind Josephia Art and Tattoo, legitimacy is not measured by how closely she follows convention, but how faithfully she carves her own craft. What began with a foundation in visual arts eventually led her to a different canvas—one that allowed her to bring her illustrations to life through ink. “I was working as a graphic designer in Clark, Pampanga when the pandemic hit. I used my advance 13th-month pay to buy my first tattoo set, and it basically started everything for me,” she recounted. “With my background in fine arts and not much else to do during quarantine, I wanted to try [tattooing]. My first ever ‘clients’ were my friends and my partner!” What started as an experiment for Mia eventually led to her current profession. The 28-year-old artist has developed a practice rooted in the whimsical, departing from the conventional pursuit of photorealistic tattoos. Becoming one with the art style Long before she picked up a needle, Mia was already drawn to art that embraced the unusual and imaginative, developing a fascination with pop surrealism that would eventually become her forte as a tattoo artist. “I was never really an artist who specialized in realistic art. My influences came from Tim Burton-style drawings, and I began exploring that style through my self-portraits,” she shared in Taglish. “Over time, I delved more into the style and began incorporating it in my tattoo designs.” Pursuing her craft and exploring techniques similar to artist Mark Ryden’s dreamlike imagery and surreal, doll-like figures further shaped Mia’s artistic sensibilities, allowing her to bring the fantastical into her designs. This creative approach continues to shape how she expresses her artistic identity through her work. “It [tattooing] is an extension of my artistry,” she shared. “It allows me to bring the ideas in my mind to life…the ones that also reflect my style and identity.” Recognition beyond precision Her unique artistic identity, however, has not meant being free from other people’s judgements. Mia is no stranger to instances in which female artists are regarded as less capable than their male counterparts. “There were hints that female artists here were being excluded because the other tattoo artists had their own group, which consisted entirely of men,” she shared. She recalled a session during which she was subjected to comparison with other artists. “There was a time when I was tattooing a client, and someone accompanying them brought up another artist who participated in tattoo conventions. They pointed out that my art style was not suited for those kinds of gatherings,” she shared. “It felt like they did not consider me a real tattoo artist because my style was different from theirs.” Rather than abandoning her approach to meet expectations, Mia used the experience to fuel her drive to hone her craft even more. “I choose to not mind them and just focus on developing my art. I’d rather focus on what I think I do best than try to prove myself just to be recognized by them.” As Mia continued to refine her craft, her distinct artistic style opened doors beyond the local tattoo scene, allowing her work to reach a wider audience and her journey to speak for itself “My career got me to travel to different countries, meet new people, and do pop-up events in places I can’t believe I’d be invited to. That alone is already a success to me,” she shared. Among her proudest milestones was becoming a part of Siningtinta, an all-women art and tattoo space in Quezon City that brings female tattoo artists and creatives together. There, Mia found a community where her artistic identity was understood, celebrated, and encouraged to grow. “It felt like I was at the right place at the right time. [Siningtinta] had been advocating for women empowerment since the start, and I learned a lot about not just the technicalities of tattooing…it somehow shaped my views in the industry I am in.” Tracing beyond expectations Mia’s entry into tattooing was an unexpected turn in her career that had once seemed firmly rooted in graphic design. And yet, even in the seemingly limited space for women in her industry did not make her regret her path. “I have no regrets. Even when I was starting, during the pandemic, I was lucky enough to be supported by my friends and family,” shared Mia. In a field where recognition can sometimes be tied to convention, Mia found her solace with her fellow female artists, empowering one another in a male-dominated industry. “Up until today, the tattoo industry is more welcoming and accepting of male artists. But I have a community here where female artists are supporting each other,” she said. “We make our own space, but we do not limit it for ourselves…it is a community for everyone in the industry.” (Photos courtesy of Mia Gaspar)

Summary The Doctor Doom Statue Bucket turns the Marvel villain’s armored bust into a display-ready popcorn vesselThe collectible is sold as part of The Bundle of Doom alongside one ticket to see Avengers: Doomsday in theatersThe piece lands as the latest entry in Fandango’s growing lineup of film-themed collector buckets Doctor Doom is coming home in sculpted form with the Doctor Doom Statue Bucket, a collectible offered through The Bundle of Doom ahead of Avengers: Doomsday. Rather than a standard tub with a printed graphic, the piece takes the shape of the villain’s full armored bust, giving fans a souvenir built as much for display as for the theater. The design leans fully into Doom’s most recognizable traits. His metal mask and armored shoulders are sculpted in the round, with detailing carried across both the front and back so the bucket holds up from every angle. Glowing green eyes peer out from behind the faceplate, adding a menacing accent that sells the character even when the bucket sits empty. That emphasis on form makes the piece feel closer to a statue than to concession stand gear. It is sized and styled to command attention on a shelf long after the credits roll, a direction that has come to define the most sought-after movie buckets, with releases like a collector’s bucket for Dune: Part Three following the same playbook. The bundle structure keeps the experience tied to the film itself. Each purchase includes one movie ticket for Avengers: Doomsday, delivered as a promotional code by separate email and redeemable online for any format at participating US theaters. The timing taps directly into anticipation around Doom’s arrival as the central threat of the next Avengers chapter. Marvel has cast Robert Downey Jr. in the role, marking his return to the franchise in a new villainous turn. For fans who want a tangible piece of that moment, the statue bucket offers a way to claim the character before the film hits screens. The Bundle of Doom is available for pre-order now via the Fandango FanStore, with the Doctor Doom Statue Bucket shipping to US addresses beginning in November.
