Exploring the intersection of AI innovation and editorial craft – reimagining workflows, expanding creative possibilities, and keeping human artistry at the center.
🧠 ⚙️ AI Agents & Automated Workflows – prototyping intelligent tools for creative operations
Researched and developed early use cases for intelligent systems within the photo ecosystem, exploring how autonomous tools could streamline editorial workflows and enhance collaboration. Piloted a photo AI Agent built with Cassidy, integrating Canto and WordPress to automate archival image retrieval – improving efficiency while maintaining editorial oversight (keeping humans in the loop).
Goal: Identify how intelligent systems could expand – not replace – editorial creativity.
✨ AI Image Upscaling – reviving legacy assets with clarity
Utilized Topaz Photo AI to restore low-resolution legacy assets, enabling them to be repurposed for new digital formats. This process helped to preserve valuable editorial content while aligning with modern quality standards.
Result: Extended the lifespan of archival imagery and reduced production costs.
