AI + Design | Creating Design Innovations for the AI era

The NEXT Design Group drives innovation in design through technology, covering but not limited to education, manufacturing, and media creation. In design education, we promote the dissemination of design knowledge with products like the "Heritage Spark" toolkit, which integrates intangible cultural heritage with contemporary creativity, and the design textbook "Is It Design?" aimed at a general audience. In intelligent manufacturing, we combine technology and design to innovate traditional production methods, such as the personalized seal engraving machine "NEXTSEALER" and the modern salt jar "CoastalBam Jar," enhancing both the functionality and aesthetics of traditional craftsmanship. In intelligent media, we use AI to reconstruct the traditional media creation process, launching the AIGC video app "Ink Frames" and the "Life of Su Shi" series to digitally spread and creatively express traditional culture.
