From Machine To Muse: The Role of Generative AI in Design

Join us for an engaging talk with Damian Classens, Executive Creative Director U.S. at Gravity Global, as we explore the evolving role of Generative AI in the creative process.

From enhancing ideation to pushing the boundaries of design, AI is reshaping how artists, designers, and creatives work. This session will dive into real-world applications, debunk common misconceptions, and discuss how AI can be a powerful collaborator rather than a replacement. Whether you’re an AI skeptic or an enthusiast, this conversation will offer insights into the future of creativity in an AI-driven world. Don’t miss this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve!

Bonus! Our host, Houston’s Largest XR Stage and film Studio, Captiv Studios, will demo their Unreal skills in their XR space.

AIGA Houston is grateful to for sponsoring the event in partnership with .
