Ever wonder what it’s like to be part of a Creative AI team? At PicCollage, our Visual Design function is more than just a group of skilled artists—they work with innovative design and technology. From mastering AI-driven "Style Transfer" to diving into the latest 3D tools, our designers constantly learn what's possible in the world of visual content.

Check out this Q&A session where we learn about our Visual Design function. Whether you’re a seasoned designer, or simply curious about PicCollage, read on to discover how creativity meets technology at PicCollage.

Q1) Can you give us a picture of the Visual Design function’s structure and the diverse roles within?

Delphine Lin : Our Visual Design function currently consists of 9 people, it's separated into Visual and Design Ops, working across 3 different 'Efforts' in PicCollage App, Explore (New Products), and Company.

Q2) What are some of the projects you're particularly excited about?

Nina de Waal : My favorite project at the moment is style transfer. We use AI to transform photos into different styles, such as water color paintings and pencil sketches, with some really cool styles coming soon. I love researching and evaluating the results, and collaborating with developers to create artistic end products.

JJ Liou : I’m working on a style transfer video project. It involves using AI tools to transform the overall visual style of videos.

Tzu-Ming Chang : I love working on content research and try to connect pop culture and trends into it. I just made a mood board around the "corporate-core" visual trend. Thinking about how to incorporate trends into our content is a really exciting and a refreshing part of my job.

Solène Gaudois : I'm collaborating with Product Designers to redesign the landing page cards to increase user engagement for our stickers and backgrounds.

Q3) In the ever-evolving field of design, what new skills or tools have you learned recently?

Multiple Visual Designers: We learn something new everyday. The Visual Design function started learning 3D tools together. We learned to use Womp, which was super fun!

JJ Liou : Comfy UI, an innovative platform enabling people to create AI art, images, and animations.

Tzu-Ming Chang : In an internal workshop, we invited an independent brand designer to share her insights. One quote that stuck with me was, "As a brand designer, the relationship with clients/stakeholders should be a partnership, not a vendor.” This really reminds me that design work is a collaborative process with cycles of listening and iterations.

Q4) What makes working as a Visual Designer at PicCollage an unique experience?

JJ Liou : There are opportunities for visual designers to experiment with various projects, and not just limited to pure visual design. Depending on each designer’s skill set, we get to work on AI, animation, video, web, and even UI/UX projects.

Tzu-Ming Chang : I’ve not only worked on social ads, typography posters, and branding projects from scratch, but also honed my skills in creating cool image effects and understanding the logic behind a good video layout.

Winnie Wu , Delphine Lin : People around us are super talented, and we can learn from each other.

Solène Gaudois : We're able to discover new technologies and explore new skills with other functions.
