1110: NEW SHOW: Jenna Gaidusek: Mastering AI Tools for a Streamlined Design Business

Today With Jenna Gaidusek:

The world of AI is moving at lightning speed, and it’s easy to feel left behind. But what if you could ignore the noise and focus on a few core tools that could fundamentally change your workflow for the better?

This week on the podcast, I invited AI expert and industry guide Jenna Gaidusek back to the show to do just that. She walks us through the foundational AI strategies that are here to stay. Learn how to leverage AI note-takers to automate your meeting summaries and to-do lists, understand the key differences between powerhouse platforms like ChatGPT and Perplexity, and discover the practical ways to use visual AI to close sales faster—while staying ethical along the way. This episode is your practical starting guide to making AI work for you.

LuAnn Nigara and Jenna Gaidusek’s Ah-Ha Moments:

“I do not take other designers’ work and run them through my models… Just because you can, because you can, should you? There has to be these ethical boundaries that we have to set for ourself.” – Jenna Gaidusek

“My huge aha was you need a trained interior design professional to translate your pedestrian conversation and description of what you want to what you really want… AI isn’t feeling anything.” – LuAnn Nigara

More About Jenna Gaidusek

Jenna is a talented visual communicator and interior designer with a passion for creating beautiful and functional spaces.
