I do. AI doesn’t retain rights to the work. Every piece is conceived, directed, and finalized by me—and ownership is passed to the client according to our agreement.

Yes. AI is simply one of my tools, like a camera or brush. The creative decisions, the soul of the piece, come from me.

AI has been trained on millions of public and licensed images to learn patterns, not to store or copy them. It generates new art based on what it’s learned, much like a student painter interpreting what they've studied.

Never. I use licensed platforms and never replicate another artist’s style. My designs are original, guided by symbolism, archetypes, and brand narrative.

That’s a great question, and as a classically trained illustrator myself, I deeply understand the concerns that artists raise about AI. I still offer traditional hand-illustration services for clients who want that level of craftsmanship, and those projects are priced accordingly. However, I’ve chosen to embrace AI as a creative ally because it allows me to scale visionary projects that would otherwise take teams of people and years of time. By combining my artistic eye, symbolic storytelling, and design experience with AI tools, I can produce high-quality, emotionally intelligent visuals faster and more accessibly, especially for small businesses, educators, and changemakers who need meaningful design but don’t have massive budgets. Think of it not as replacing artists, but as expanding what’s possible for creators like me who want to bring more soul-aligned work into the world.

Every project begins with deep story and symbolic insight. Then I use AI tools to visualize, followed by hand editing and layout in Photoshop. The final work is entirely curated by me.

I view AI as my digital atelier, like the great master artists of old who directed skilled studios to help realize their vision. I am the architect. AI is the brush.
