Lee Mayer of Havenly for The New York Times

For a New York Times story on AI in design, I photographed founder Lee Mayer of Havenly . Lee and I had met nearly a decade ago after she started the company. It was a lot of fun to reconnect and learn about the ways the company is using AI to suggest design elements - both finding them and utilizing a chat interface to allow laypeople like me to "talk it out" with their design goals.
