Discover, Define, and Personalize with AI Mood Boarding

Mathias Verheijden

The project illustrates how we can move from using “off the shelf” AI applications, and instead identify and combine their strengths into novel and more effective experiences with real-world value. The features and experiences are shaped in such a way that they extend the human skillset, instead of trying to replace human (tasks) altogether. It illustrates how AI can be used to improve and support human-human collaboration, instead of focusing only on the ‘industry standard’ human-AI collaboration.

How can humans and AI complement each other?


“If the flow of creativity between human and AI becomes bi-directional, we unlock unprecedented potential.”

How can you be creative, even if you’re not? Designers sometimes face tunnel vision or have trouble defining what they’re looking for. A lack of time and skills can discourage designers from visually exploring or communicating ideas.

Current visual AI tools are very compartmentalized and only offer features to perform a very specific task. They lack the diversity and creative agency to meaningfully support designers’ workflows. But with the vast number of AI developments, why not identify their strengths and combine them to move beyond a single tool – a means to an end – and instead extend our skillset and creativity. The best AI solutions will then not replace humans, but complement them.


Meet Visionairy, the innovative AI mood boarding tool, revolutionizing design ideation.

Discover an endless source of inspiration through its infinite image feed. Just like your Instagram page, it dynamically changes its content based on the material you select to stay relevant and up to date.

Define your mood board with AI-generated keywords that not only describe your current mood board, but also provide alternative directions to broaden or pivot your exploration. You can even chat with images to reach unprecedented levels of understanding, for example, “what material is this made of”?

Finally, personalize your mood board with simple sketching and generative AI for targeted image adjustments, image merging, or bringing your doodles to life. In short, turn your sketches into advanced visuals at the click of a button.

Get ready to amplify your creativity and engage in an immersive journey of inspiration. Be creative. Be a Visionairy!


Visionairy illustrates how we can move from using “off the shelf” AI applications towards novel and more effective experiences with real-world value. It does this by identifying and creatively combining the strengths of five different cutting-edge AI models into a coherent and intricate experience.

Visionairy’s design extends the human skillset instead of trying to replace the human (tasks) altogether. Instead of simply transforming input, Visionairy also provides alternative directions of inspiration, truly broadening your horizon and creativity.

This allows designers to better express themselves in creative sessions, illustrating how AI can be used to improve and support human-human collaboration, instead of focusing only on the ‘industry standard’ human-AI collaboration.

“Perhaps what we dislike about AI is that it’s a badly needed mirror, reflecting our own behaviour”
