How to brief a creative workflow

Start with the last time the work got stuck. A description of what happened between two people or two tools tells us more than a list of features.

Study 05 / Where a decision changes hands

Trace a real handoff

An artist approves a new canvas size with a client. The note lives in a message, the price is elsewhere, and the person preparing the support still has the old dimensions. Write down who needs the decision next and what they should see.

Separate the decision from the tool

What has to stay attached to the work: a reference, a version, a date or an approval? Is there information a collaborator should never see? These questions help distinguish a recordkeeping problem from a presentation problem.

Bring one example

A short description with names and private details removed is enough for a first enquiry. The Systems page identifies which ideas are in development. If you are looking to commission an artwork yourself, the public painting Lab is a separate experience.
