According to a study by gig platform Upwork, more than half (52%) of Gen Z professionals surveyed worked as freelancers in 2023. Gig work puts flexibility at the forefront, replacing functions traditionally performed in-house with technology tools such as AI. But there are two sides to this: some freelancers are thriving with the work they love and the schedule they want, while others are being left behind.

But as the climate warms, city dwellers suffer more extreme heat than their rural counterparts as a result of a phenomenon called the urban heat…
Interior design is steeped in nostalgia. Most of us can recall how familiar places once looked, like the layout of our grandma’s living room or the arrangement of posters in our childhood bedroom. In doing so, we can feel connected to who we once were.

Everything old can be new again, especially in the home. As tastes evolve, it’s no surprise that certain design choices…
