Episode 162 - Creating a Future for AI in Decor, With Royce Dodds, Dekor8
In this episode, Marcus talks with Royce Dodds from Dekor8. Although we have known one another for a while, we reconnected at the Seiko Open Week back in the summer '23 and I discovered more about the fascinating work that Royce is doing with AI for Decor and Design. Royce delivered a very interesting talk at FuturePrint TECH in Cambridge Nov '23, why not view it here?
Following that he joined a webinar I hosted on Dec 19, again, why not view that here?
Anyway, now to the podcast! Royce is a respected expert in decor and for sure a pioneer, innovator and connector. He has an interesting mind and a passionate enthusiasm for the work he does. While talks at events are great, the long-form nature of a podcast permits more time and scope for a deeper and broader chat, and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation!
