AI as Your Thinking Partner

AI isn’t just for tech professionals, it’s a powerful ally for interior designers who want to work more efficiently, creatively, and confidently. In this hands-on, design-specific session, you’ll discover how to use AI as a thinking partner to support and elevate your studio practice.

Learn how AI can simplify daily admin, improve client communication, and generate impactful marketing content, all while maintaining your personal design voice. Real-world case studies will show how fellow interior designers are already integrating AI into their workflow to save time and add value.

• Confidence to start experimenting with AI in your own business
• A downloadable prompt guide to keep and use after the session
