Welcome to the More Than Graphics podcast! We're thrilled to kick off the year with an amazing episode featuring a special guest who embodies our theme of "shine"—Kia Perry. Kia Perry is an AI Spatial Visionary & Cultural Innovator bringing wild ideas to life through AI-powered visionary design and immersive spatial experiences. After 10+ years of bringing brands to life, she found her sweet spot: transforming abstract concepts into breathtaking digital environments that challenge what's possible. Kia specializes in crafting AI-generated spaces that exist at the intersection of imagination and technology - whether that's conceptualizing spaces that tell your story in ways traditional design never could. She blends machine learning with human intuition to push the boundaries of spatial design. Taking those brilliant-but-fuzzy concepts floating around in your head and transforming them into striking visual experiences that leave people speechless excites her. Kia is a nerd for emerging AI design tools and techniques, but what truly drives her is her passion for empowering Black women entrepreneurs and creators to dream bigger and bolder. She uses her expertise in AI and spatial design to help transform her clients' visionary ideas into tangible, awe-inspiring realities. [00:03:44] Shiny and immersive design.
