I’ve recently begun integrating AI into my design workflow, particularly during early-stage ideation to expand creative exploration. In a restaurant branding project, I used AI tools to generate and iterate on mascot design, typography directions, and illustration styles. This allowed me to quickly explore multiple visual approaches before selecting and refining a final direction. The final assets were then developed and executed manually, ensuring consistency, scalability, and alignment with the brand vision. Below is a case study demonstrating this AI-assisted process and how it supports my overall design workflow.
