In this episode, I sit down with my friend and fellow AI aficionado, Lauren DeVane (a.k.a. your “AI Auntie”). We’ve both got deep roots in design, marketing, and creative industries, and we’re here to dish about how we’ve seen AI transform the way we work, think, and interact with clients. Think of it as your breezy, coffee-chat primer on what’s good, what’s new, and what’s coming down the pipeline in AI for creative pros. We get real about what tools we’re currently obsessed with—like Visual Electric, which basically blows our minds for photorealistic images, or Perplexity, a research “answers engine” that leaves old-school Googling in the dust. We laugh over the fact that we now rely on ChatGPT and Claude daily, sometimes without even remembering what life was like without them (hello, 2019—was that even real?!). We’re also talking honestly about common fears and misconceptions: No, you don’t have to have an AI clone design your entire project for you. Just use these tools where they feel natural—maybe for note-taking, brainstorming content, or leveling up your brand’s vibe. But let’s not gloss over the big-picture stuff.

This episode is about more than just fancy new features. It’s about understanding how humans talk to machines, how AI can supercharge your workflow if you let it, and why staying curious is more important than staying rigid. We share our love for continuous learning, adapting to changes in the blink of an eye, and supporting other women who are paving their way in this evolving tech landscape. So, grab a mug of something warm, settle in, and join us for a down-to-earth convo that’ll leave you feeling both inspired and informed—without any of that robotic, soulless tech talk. If you’re a creative looking to keep up with the pace of change (without losing your mind), you’re in the right place!
