My workflow is constantly evolving — it shifts depending on what I’m creating or exploring at a given time. There are core elements that remain steady, like preparing lectures or delivering presentations, but around them, I’m always experimenting with new tools and features that might enhance what I do. When I decide whether something is worth adding, I look at timing and value. Some tools, like the studio feature, aren’t essential for my regular teaching or social media work, but there are moments when they become crucial — when a project or idea calls for that extra capability.
In those cases, I might use such a feature for a short period, say two weeks or a month, because it adds real, time-specific value. I also create YouTube videos and educational use cases, and experimentation is a big part of that process. Often, I don’t know in advance what I’ll need until I reach a certain point in a project. For example, I recently used the studio feature to create something visually compelling. When I showed it to a colleague, he immediately asked how I’d done it — the image and concept resonated. That’s exactly the kind of moment that confirms a tool’s value to me: when it helps me translate an idea into something that inspires others or opens new possibilities.

For me, knowing when something is “right” is more of a feeling than a fixed process. I don’t have strict brand guidelines to follow — and I actually like that freedom. It allows me to keep experimenting rather than getting stuck in one visual style. When I create something, I’m usually guided by two things: meaning and emotional impact. The visual side matters, of course, but only insofar as it amplifies the message or evokes a reaction. In teaching, that often means designing moments with a “wow” factor — not for spectacle’s sake, but to draw my students in and make them curious.
When I use Gamma in my lectures, I know something works when I see my students’ reactions. That engagement tells me I’ve hit the mark. With colleagues, it’s slightly different — I aim for clarity and resonance rather than surprise. Over time, I’ve noticed that the more I use Gamma, the fewer iterations I need, as my intuition sharpens with experience. Still, some projects take longer. For example, I recently created a one-page visual with smart layouts and diagrams, and it took several rounds of refinement before it felt right. That sense of alignment — when the design and the message finally come together — is what tells me I’ve reached the result I want.

For me, the ideal setup would allow more flexibility — the ability to upgrade or access certain features only when I need them. My workflow isn’t static, so there are moments when a feature like Gamma Ultra would be invaluable, but others when I don’t need that level of functionality. I completely understand the difference between private firms and individual educators like me. For entrepreneurs, content creation can be their main source of income, which makes premium plans easier to justify. In education, however, the situation is different.
I use Gamma to experiment with educational applications and to demonstrate possibilities to others, but it’s difficult to justify the full cost of Ultra on a personal level, even though I clearly see its value. What would help is a flexible model — for example, the option to purchase a feature or an upgrade for a limited time, such as seven days or a month. Even being able to temporarily switch to Ultra while keeping an annual plan for the base tier would make a big difference. It would allow educators like me to use premium features strategically for specific projects or teaching moments without needing to commit to a full subscription year-round. Flexible access could encourage more educators to explore, create, and integrate Gamma into their work — and in the long run, that benefits both sides. I hope this helps 💜
