A live intensive · June/July 2026

For creatives who want to direct AI.

Every AI course teaches tools. Human Directed™ is the only intensive built on a creative direction framework — so your output reflects your eye, not the model's defaults.

Request a call to apply

You already know good creative, but struggle with:

Generic output

You aren't translating your creative eye into the work — AI defaults to its own decisions

Can't articulate your taste

You know what looks right. You just can't get AI to see it too

No consistency

You can generate something good once. Recreating it — or building on it — is another story

Tool confusion

You don't know which model serves your intention — so you default to whatever everyone else is using

The Methodology

As Creatives, we show.
We pull references, build moodboards, know what looks right.

But AI requires us to articulate —
with the precision of a director giving notes to a crew.

That gap is exactly what Human Directed™ was built to close.
It doesn't start with tools. It starts with human direction.

The Human Layer

Creatives recognize taste, but fewer can articulate it. This is where you do that work — and learn to direct AI with it.

The Machine Layer

The models, platforms, and techniques that bend to your vision. Knowing which tool serves your style.

Post Production

Taking AI output to campaign-ready finish. Editing and upscaling for professional delivery.

Video & Motion

Extending your creative direction practice into AI-generated motion by thinking like a film director.

The Outcome

The framework to find and direct your creative eye

Most creatives sense their taste but can't fully name it. This program gives you the structure to start that work — so every creative decision becomes more intentional and distinctly yours.

The ability to command AI with creative intention

Move beyond prompts. Direct AI through your own visual language — so the work feels authored, not generated.

A directed body of work

Built live during the intensive around your own creative direction. Work you can show clients and collaborators the moment the program ends.

About the Instructor

Grace Liu is a Creative Director based in New York City. For the last 13 years, she has worked at Calvin Klein, David Yurman, and Laura Mercier — directing image and motion for brands where the standards for both visual and narrative execution are uncompromising.

Since turning her practice toward AI, her work has accumulated over 6.5M organic views on Instagram — combining luxury creative direction with cinematic storytelling.

She created Human Directed™ because the gap she kept seeing with AI creative couldn’t be solved through tool onboarding alone. Creatives already have the eye. What was missing was a framework for directing AI with the same intentionality as photography and filmmaking.

For creatives who want authorship in the AI age

This is for you if

You've led campaigns or content creative for brands
You're experimenting with AI but the work isn't landing at the standard you hold yourself to
You want a repeatable framework to unlock your authorship with AI
You want to pitch AI-powered creative confidently to clients

This is not for you if

You haven't worked professionally on brand creative yet.
You're just casually experimenting with what AI can do
You want a beginner's tools overview or prompt tutorial
You're not ready to challenge your pre-existing way of working and unlock the possibilities

Grace's approach fills the gap that's currently missing in the AI creative education market — a method to control AI through translating creative and directorial taste.
