AI AS A SKETCH BOOK
Generative AI for design-led teams
Generative AI can be a powerful sketchbook and thinking partner when it’s grounded in design and ethics. Tracy helps teams experiment with AI in practical, human-first ways—using it to explore ideas, see patterns, and support creative work, while people stay in charge of the story, standards, and decisions.
AI as Sketchbook
Explore Options, Fast
Treat AI as a rough sketch space—not the final voice of your organization.
Use generative AI to rough out language, concepts, and scenarios before you invest full design time.
Create quick variations your team can react to, refine, or reject—keeping humans in charge of the final call.
Pattern Finding & Synthesis
Make Sense of Inputs
Let AI help with the heavy lift of synthesis while you focus on judgment and nuance.
Turn research, notes, and stakeholder input into first-pass themes and clusters.
Use AI to accelerate the “messy middle” of synthesis so you can spend more time on higher-level decisions.
Guardrails
Aligned With Your Values
Set clear boundaries so experimentation stays aligned with your values, voice, and obligations.
Define values-aligned guidelines for when, how, and where your team uses AI.
Develop simple habits, prompt patterns, and checkpoints your team can follow with confidence.
This is for you if…
You want to use generative AI but aren’t sure where to start—or how to keep it aligned with your values and voice.
Your team is stretched and needs ways to explore options, synthesize input, or draft content faster without losing craft.
What you walk away with
A basic AI playbook: principles, do/don’ts, and example use cases for your team.
Prompt patterns and workflows tailored to your work (e.g., synthesis, drafting, idea exploration).
More confident, informed use of AI that supports your design and communication practice instead of undermining it.
