How We Use AI
How We Use AI
Not every project calls for AI. Some work is best done entirely by hand — a brand identity that needs pure human intuition, a campaign concept that starts and ends with a creative director’s instinct. We assess every project individually and scope it based on what it actually needs, not what’s trending.
When AI is the right tool, these are the rules we follow.
How we use AI.
We start with strategy.
We map out every detail — the mood, the tone, the palette, the framing, the story. By the time we touch any AI tool, we already know exactly what we’re making. AI doesn’t decide anything. We decide everything. AI just moves faster than a render farm.
We build from our own library.
We built a creative library over 20 years. We train local models and feed every tool from that library — on our own hardware, with our own work. Not stock. Not scraped images. Not other artists’ work. Ours.
Every piece gets human review.
AI generates. Humans decide. Nothing ships without a creative director reviewing it, refining it, and signing off on it. The AI proposes. We dispose. Always.
We don’t fake what’s real.
We use AI to create, not to deceive. When a client has licensed photography and existing model imagery, we use it to extend what’s possible. No fake testimonials. No fake endorsements. No fabricating trust. AI should expand creative possibilities, not manufacture false ones.
We credit the process.
We tell clients when AI is part of the workflow. We tell them when it isn’t. If your process embarrasses you, your process is the problem.
We pay attention to what’s changing.
The ethics of AI aren’t settled. When the right answer changes, we change with it. Principles mean nothing if you won’t update them.
