The design process,
from defining the brief to evaluating what shipped

How can we integrate AI meaningfully in a design process — without losing the designer's hand?

— Position

A research initiative at Howest University of Applied Sciences, exploring the role of AI across graphic design, mixed experience design & architecture.

— Method

We test AI inside real design workflows. Through experiments, proofs of concept and educational pilots, we document what works, what fails and where human expertise remains essential.

— Output

A practical design process library containing workflows, tools, lessons learned and proofs of concept for designers integrating AI into their practice.

Tested in practice.
