This is the home of the creativity coach DESIGNZERO.ai, known as DZ/AI or DZ for short. DZ is the AI clone of professional creative Marcus Baumgart.

Meet the Coach: a Life of Creativity

Marcus teaches creativity to select clients. He has graduate qualifications in Design and Architecture, and a Bachelor of Applied Science in Sustainability & Environmental Design. He has completed post-graduate study in Digital Communications Strategy and has a Certificate in Business Coaching. He is currently completing an MBA in Design Thinking at RMIT.

Marcus taught design at RMIT University and the University of Melbourne for more than 10 years and jointly ran successful design firm BCBA Studio for 12 years. Marcus has worked with non-profits across Australia and the United Kingdom, in particular tackling homelessness and the housing crisis with creativity, empathy & insight. Marcus is currently writing a book entitled “How to Write About Design (and Why You Should)”.

Marcus created DZ as a curated chatbot to share his teaching insights and methodology of creativity, creative productivity, and inspired playfulness.

While DZ isn’t live yet, soon you will be able to subscribe to the full member’s coaching experience.

In the meantime, explore the free version of DZ here.

Having a guide and a companion to coach you through creative challenges is invaluable. Marcus has invested hundreds of hours and more than 175,000 words of custom training data to make DZ as much like having Marcus on hand as possible.
