Craft & AI

I'm Christine — a designer with 15+ years of craft across motion, video, and print. I've spent that time making 2D animations, VFX, and live-action videos for brands and agencies in finance and tech. Colorworks is my practice: where that work lives, and where I integrate AI as a daily collaborator.

I'm less interested in whether AI belongs in creative work than in how it actually fits — day to day, inside an established process. The honest version isn't tidy. I generated 3,621 patterns and kept thirty. The generating was easy; the curation was the design. That gap — between what a tool can produce and what's actually worth making — is what I'm most curious about.

This is where I share what I'm making: hand-drawn patterns, patterns set in motion, illustration, apps, and personal projects, alongside experiments with AI. Craft leads; AI joins in. The perspective stays mine.
