[Self-Study] Creating the Improbable: Using Expressive Technologies like MidJourney

For her day job, Ruchi Mehta heads Product Design for India’s largest online ticketing portal. In her personal capacity, she is a single mother, who likes to dabble in different mediums to give voice to her creative side. From weaving to shibori, painting to sketching, lino cuts to ceramics, she has a deep interest in physical materials. More recently though, her explorations have led her to use software like Procreate and Figma to produce artwork. She recalls a solitary childhood, painfully shy and reticent, a little girl who used art to deal with the overwhelming world around her. As an adult, whenever life threw her some curveballs, she used it to catalyse more creative work. With the advent of generative art using AI, she has found a new way to express her inner life.
