Designing with AI: My Studio Workflow
Published September 10, 2025
In 2025, AI tools have become integral to my creative process. This post walks through how I blend generative AI with traditional design methodologies to enhance - not replace - human creativity. From concept ideation to final delivery, let's explore my modern digital studio workflow.
The Human+AI Collaboration
I start every project with a creative brief using Notion, then feed key elements into AI tools. Midjourney generates moodboards while Jasper drafts early text versions. The real magic happens when I refine these outputs with Figma for UI/UX and After Effects for motion design, maintaining the human touchpoints that make design unique.
My AI Toolkit
- Midjourney (concept generation)
- DALL·E 3 (custom image creation)
- Copy.ai (content ideation)
- Canva (rapid prototyping)
- Adobe Firefly (asset enhancements)
The 7-Step Workflow
- Client brief & goal analysis
- Keyword research + AI prompt engineering
- Generate initial concepts and variations
- Human refinement & emotional filtering
- Prototyping in design tools
- Usability testing with real users
- Delivery with AI attribution
Ethical Considerations
Crucial to my workflow is the creative oversight principle. Every AI-generated element undergoes three human reviews for: - Originality validation - Cultural sensitivity checks - Brand alignment review
