Gendo: AI as Your Explorative Design Partner. This interactive workshop will explore how AI can become an integral part of the design process - not just a one-shot image generator. Ismail Seleit and Will Jones will guide participants through Gendo, demonstrating how to collaborate with AI to uncover unexpected ideas, challenge assumptions, and unlock new design directions in real time. You’ll learn how to “spar” with AI to push your thinking further - then put it into practice in a live, fast-paced design challenge to finish the workshop (prizes up for grabs!).


Will Jones is the CTO and Co-founder of Gendo, with over a decade of experience building technical products, many rooted in machine learning.
Before founding Gendo, he spent many years exploring generative algorithms as a medium for creating art - both digital and physical. That curiosity around creativity and computation now informs his work, shaping Gendo’s approach to AI as a collaborator in the design process rather than just a tool for output.
Like Ismail, Will also produces music and scores for short films - and yes, they are planning to start a Gendo band.
Ismail Seleit is the Head of Applied AI at Gendo, operating at the sharp intersection of machine learning and architectural practice. After a 13-year career as an architect driving design technology at Foster + Partners, Ismail brings ruthless pragmatism to the generative AI space. He refuses to treat artificial intelligence as a gimmick. Instead, he builds high-level computational workflows that eliminate systemic friction across urban and product scales. By stripping away the tedious mechanics of the process, his objective is absolute: helping designers focus on what really matters, design.
Beyond his architectural mandate, Ismail is an ambient-electronic music producer and film composer. This synthesis of strict analytical logic and creative exploration defines his character, rigorously dismantling conventional design problems to build smarter, future-proof methodologies.
