Generative Design Workshops

Designers set the rules; the machine draws

A hands-on workshop that flips the designer's job — instead of making the artwork, you set the rules and let the system generate it.

Co-created and taught the workshop with Moby Digg.

01

Premise

As tools automate more of design, the craft moves upstream — from drawing the output to designing the system that draws it. The designer becomes a curator: set the style, the rules and the constraints, then let the machine explore.

02

Format

A hands-on session — participants define rules and frameworks, then use generative, code-driven tools to make visual output they couldn't have drawn by hand, and take it home printed on a T-shirt.

03

On the road

Run at creative festivals across four cities — ADC Europe Festival in Barcelona, Forward Festival in Hamburg and Munich, and Ad Black Sea in Tbilisi — under the banner 'Generative Design, Processing the Future.'

04

Why it matters

Roomfuls of designers left thinking in systems, not just artboards — a hands-on nudge toward the shift the whole field is now living through.
