KICKSTARTER 📢 — AI Ideation Cards

Image

We are super excited (and a little nervous) to share with you that the Kickstarter for the AI Ideation Cards is now live!

After releasing its prequel in 2019, reworking a new and improved version in 2020, and sharing previews of the cards these past weeks, we'd love to make the AI Ideation Cards come to life. But we can't do it on our own so we decided to launch this to raise the funds for printing costs 🎴

If you pledge, you will receive this proven valuable and colorful card deck, while also supporting what we're doing over at AIxDesign. Check out the campaign page for more info about the cards, the backstory, and the rewards! We hope you will join us and we look forward to seeing what we can make happen together! ⚡️

Let's do this!
