Summary
How can we communicate research and design insights to leadership in a way that drives action? This session shows how creatives can communicate real-world observations into compelling, story-driven solutions. We’ll share how to visualize problem sets and present designs that engage stakeholders and demonstrate clear value. Through project examples and live demos, attendees will learn how to generate better ideas, explore new ways of pitching work, and use visual storytelling to make problems and solutions instantly understandable.
Key Insights
-
•
Generative AI tools can reduce manual workload in animation and design by about one-third when integrated thoughtfully.
-
•
3D modeling backgrounds early in a project allows for reusable assets and flexible scene composition.
-
•
Training AI tools like Midjourney on a studio’s own visual style ensures consistency and unique output.
-
•
Creating AI-driven conversational characters enhances accessibility and empathy in storytelling, especially in healthcare.
-
•
Use of AI voice generators (like 11 Labs) helps produce realistic dialogues from patient interviews quickly.
-
•
AI coding assistants like Cursor enable rapid transformation of static designs into interactive prototypes.
-
•
Clients initially surprised by AI-driven presentations quickly embrace them when involved transparently in the process.
-
•
Generative AI expands design exploration and enables faster iteration but requires designer curation to maintain quality.
-
•
AI democratization can increase client involvement early, accelerating design decision-making and co-design.
-
•
Despite speed gains, designers must showcase the iterative process to manage client expectations and maintain strategic focus.
