Launching a Wedding Design Studio with AI

Launching a Wedding Design Studio with AI

Part of AIGA Portland Design Month

I’m pulling back the curtain on how I built my boutique brand studio for weddings, from painting late at night to discovering AI tools like Midjourney and ChatGPT that helped me create a business I truly love.

First, we'll start the evening with some light refreshments and mingling, move into my presentation with time for questions, and then enjoy some more casual networking before we end our evening together.

I’ll share how I utilize Midjourney as my artist assistant in my workflow (spoiler: it’s not scary and actually pretty magical), and how ChatGPT supports me with brand writing, editing, business advice, captions, and more.

Whether you’re curious about creative entrepreneurship or exploring how tech can support your process, this one’s for you. Let’s hang out, talk shop, and leave with fresh ideas and inspirations for your own path.

Hi, I’m Michelle Roberts :) Artist, designer, and founder of Fior Design Studio.

I create custom wedding stationery and signage that tells a couple’s story through thoughtful design and tactile beauty. From invitation suites to welcome signs, bar menus, ceremony programs, and every printed detail in between, I treat each piece as part of a cohesive visual experience—one that’s both deeply personal and beautifully polished.

If you’re a designer or artist who loves print design and might be wondering what it takes to start your own business, or just what in the world a wedding designer works on day-to-day, I think you'll enjoy this.

Hope to see you there!
