Designed by Debz AI Art Policy
Our approach to AI and artwork
At Designed by Debz, we value real creativity, real artists, and intentional design.
We primarily work with:
- Hand-drawn artwork
- Original digital illustration
- Commissioned artists
- Debz’s own designs
Every design is chosen with care and artistic integrity.
Do you use AI?
We do not knowingly sell AI-generated artwork as original illustration.
When working with collaborators, we:
- Commission artists directly
- Review the creation process where possible
- Communicate expectations clearly
Protecting real artists matters to us.
Why this matters
The creative landscape is changing quickly.
AI tools are becoming more common, and conversations around art ownership are evolving.
As a small independent brand, we are committed to:
- Respecting creative labour
- Paying artists fairly
- Being transparent with our community
Our responsibility as a brand
We take reasonable steps to verify artwork before release.
However, like many brands working with external artists, we rely on honesty and transparency from collaborators.
If concerns are ever raised, we take them seriously and review them thoughtfully.
Supporting artists
Designed by Debz was built on creativity and storytelling.
We will always prioritise:
- Human-made art
- Ethical collaboration
- Respect for the creative process
Because behind every design should be a real person.
Questions or concerns
If you have genuine concerns about artwork, you’re welcome to contact us directly.
We believe respectful conversations protect both artists and small businesses.
