AI in Textile Design – Your Experience and Perspective

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the creative industries, and textile design is no exception. From inspiring new ideas to streamlining workflows, AI tools open new possibilities and important new questions for designers, buyers, and agents alike.

Today, we’re excited to announce that the AI in Textile Design Survey is officially live, and we need your voice!

This short survey is designed to gather real-world experiences, insights, and concerns directly from textile designers, art buyers, and agents. Whether you’re actively using AI tools, cautiously exploring them, or wondering how they fit into the buying and selling art, your input is critical.

Why participate?

This is more than just a survey; it’s part of our effort to empower textile industry professionals with real, community-driven knowledge. By participating, you’ll help us create a clearer picture of how AI is being used, how it is perceived, and what opportunities and challenges it presents.

The final report will help you:

  • Understand how peers, buyers, and agents are navigating AI.
  • Make more informed decisions about integrating (or not integrating) AI into your workflow.
  • Stay ahead of evolving industry expectations and conversations.
  • Feel more confident discussing AI with clients, brands, and colleagues.
  • Identify new opportunities for growth, creativity, and innovation.

What’s included in the survey?

In about 5–8 minutes, you’ll answer questions such as:

  • Are you currently using AI in your design or marketing work?
  • Which platforms or tools are you using? (Midjourney, ChatGPT, Canva, etc.)
  • How do you feel about AI-created artwork?
  • As a buyer or agent, do you feel comfortable purchasing or licensing AI-generated designs?
  • What feedback are you hearing from clients or customers regarding AI?

The survey closes on May 18, 2025, so don’t miss your chance to participate.
