What others have said

  • “As a CD I focus on conceptual proposals and the process laid out in this course brought to light some pieces, like a concept video, that I would never had thought I would be able to develop to help tell a more complete story. There are so many AI tool options (paid and free) that I didn’t know where to begin. It felt overwhelming. What surprised me most was how much I enjoyed the process. Marlene was fun to watch and engage with and explained things in a way that were easy to follow and understand. Now I’ve been able to have more intelligent conversations with colleagues and even recommend tools they might want to bring into their project work. My current focus has been on the creative brief and using AI has cut down on the research time considerably. This course truly gave me empowerment.”

  • “I am truly grateful to Marlene for this remarkable program! It took us on a transformative journey - from crafting a creative profile to deep research, developing a concept’s look and feel, and finally bringing ideas to life through image creation and a stunning concept film. Every step was explained in detail, with engaging examples that made the process clear and inspiring. A heartfelt thank you for this incredible learning experience! I highly recommend it to anyone looking to master creative control in the AI era.”

  • "Your course taught me a process for holding the structure of a creative project from start to finish. The biggest surprise was discovering where AI is most valuable. Previously, I thought of it as something that produces a finished product, with minimal input from the operator. I realize now that I had it backwards. Your AI process taught me to turn my thinking into a reference so that my most salient thoughts become the pillars of my projects. I am walking away with an overall better workflow, organization, and front end design process. You hit the nail right on the head. I learned a professional creative process by which I can easily cross-check my work with my intention, and make organized revisions when they aren't in sync. I would say, suspend your judgement about AI and take the course. Regardless of the tool (it could be AI, CAD, CAM, or something else) Marlene's approach to creative thinking is elevating. And when paired with AI, it's accelerating. Creative Control in the Age of AI gave me a jumpstart on a tool that I didn't understand and wouldn't have known how to learn.”

  • “I would describe what I gained as an a-z learning curve. It's fun & offers quick and hands-on learning on how to use AI. I have more courage. I’m walking away with a video I can use for promo and the ability to create more. This course truly gave me a way to sway with AI (wish that would rhyme😁).”

  • "Thank you for your fantastic and very inspiring course! What impressed me most was the diversity you delivered so professionally and structured in such a short time! There were so many – for me – new, valuable, and inspiring tips, like a colorful bouquet of tulips you gave me! (Insights into various AI tools, from text to images to video, as well as working methods, how to prompt, and lots of side information on what works best where and how...) I hadn't delved into AI that deeply before, but now I'm really keen for MORE! I'm very happy with what I've learned and, of course, also with my results."

  • “You’ve made complex tech feel accessible. Your practical examples have turned my AI overwhelm into excitement. It’s been a creative awakening. Thank you Marlene! I completely fell in love with the creative process. This course has opened up a whole new world for me. I've gone from fearing AI to fully embracing it as a creative process. I was amazed by how much I learned in just four weeks! Coming in with no experience, I never imagined I'd be creating content so quickly. While I don't have a formal design background, I'm preparing for a career in coaching and education. This course helped me develop creative skills that will be valuable for creating engaging educational content and marketing materials in my future work. I'm walking away with real confidence in using these tools. Most exciting is knowing how to incorporate AI into creating marketing materials, for my future work in coaching and education. This course turned my AI anxiety into excitement. Now I actually enjoy creating marketing content instead of dreading it. This course gave me the confidence and skills to turn ideas into professional-looking content effortlessly, and completely changed how I view working with AI. I went from zero AI skills to creating full concept films, something I never thought possible in just four weeks. More importantly, I feel I have overcome my fear of AI, it’s now an exciting part of my creative toolkit instead of something intimidating.”

  • “I have always been intimidated by technology and mystified by how these tools work and I was really curious to see how other creatives navigate these challenges. As the current climate regarding AI can be rather divisive, it is eye opening to see how to adopt these tools. Personally I am not a tech savvy person so it has been a joy to get the opportunity to learn from an expert creative in this field. I learnt how to research, generate concepts, prototype ideas quickly and understand the challenges in regards to ethics surrounding this emerging field and learn and align the tools to my values. Marlene has done a great job in demystifying AI. It was also really rewarding to learn about her process and see how other students approach adopting these tools!”
