Hi there, I’m Austin Light, a dedicated AI Engineer focused on AI image generation for print applications. Over the past eight years I’ve built production-ready workflows that translate complex prompts into high-resolution visuals suitable for packaging, branding, and editorial use. I enjoy solving challenging problems at the intersection of AI and print production, delivering outputs that meet strict bleed, trim, and color standards. Currently at Dentsu International, I lead end-to-end AI image workflows, collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate requirements into scalable pipelines, document proprietary processes, and mentor junior developers. I stay on the cutting edge of AI technologies to continuously improve efficiency, quality, and user-centric design.
