Dōjō.

Creative intelligence

For the AI age.

Taste training for the machine era.
In a world optimised for speed, the Dōjō is optimised for presence.
We train the invisible craft behind human brands, so you can work with AI without losing your voice, your taste, or your edge.

Not tips. A practice.

Signal, not noise. Openings and dates first.

What we train.

  • Narrative architecture.

    Story systems that scale. Myths, roles, and rituals that make brands coherent.

  • Vibe coding.

    What you build with language. Systems and prototypes with intent and restraint.

  • Promptcraft.

    How you ask. Precision and poetry. Less noise, more signal.

  • Felt experience.

    Design that lands in the body: trust, tension, relief, meaning. Not just usability.

  • Creative sovereignty.

    Keep authorship. Keep standards. Use AI without becoming its accent.

  • Taste calibration.

    Spot slop fast. Raise the bar without slowing the work.

The approach
We teach like martial arts are taught: repetition, feedback, and presence. You don’t just learn techniques. You develop taste.
Small groups, high signal. Real prompts. Real work. Real critique. Taste over templates. Voice before volume.

Pathways.
  • For individuals.

    Small group training.

    For designers, writers, and creative leaders. Practice, critique, standards, voice.

Most companies do “AI enablement”.
They end up with faster output and flatter work.
Dōjō sessions focus on what actually protects quality: voice, taste, coherence, and decision-making.


What we do with you
  • Define how you use AI (and where you don’t).
  • Protect brand voice across humans + machines.
  • Calibrate taste so quality doesn’t collapse into average.
  • Build a prompt-and-review practice that survives real deadlines.

You leave with
  • A one-page Creative AI stance (principles + boundaries).
  • A prompt library tuned to your tone and standards.
  • A simple critique system (what “good” means here).
  • Examples built from your real work, not generic demos.

Formats.

  • Keynote

    (45–60 mins)

    A provocation + a framework people actually remember.

  • Workshop.

    (2–4 hours)

    Hands-on practice: prompts, critique, standards.

  • Sprint.
    (1–2 days)
    Apply the method to a live project. Ship a first system.
  • Intensive.
    (3–6 weeks)
    For teams building a durable creative AI practice.
Who It’s For.
Designers seeking depth over speed. Writers watching their voice dissolve. Leaders who know craft matters but can’t protect it. If you’ve looked at your work and thought this could be anyone, the Dojo is for you.
