🧠✨ Calling Our Gen AI Experts — Can You Share Your Guidance on Breaking Into Creative AI?
We had a thoughtful question come through from someone who’s been self-teaching AI tools and wants to understand how to enter the industry more formally. I’d love to open this up to our community — especially those of you working in GenAI, creative tech, AI media, or innovation roles.
Here’s their questions:
“I’ve been teaching myself generative tools—AI music, AI video workflows, creative prototyping, and some basic LLM web work—to build small campaigns and fictional AI artist worlds. I’m now trying to understand how to translate that into a more formal role in the industry. I’d love to ask:
1. From your experience, what skills or types of projects matter most for someone entering generative AI / creative tech professionally?
2. Can a strong portfolio of experiments and self-initiated work compensate for a non-traditional background (no classic degree/agency path)?
3. For someone like me, what kinds of roles, teams, or environments would you recommend targeting first?
💬 Your insight could make a real difference for someone stepping into this world. Please share:
  • Skills you found most valuable
  • What you look for in a portfolio
  • Mistakes to avoid
  • Early-career roles worth targeting
  • Pathways that don’t require a traditional degree
Let’s help shape the next wave of talent with generosity, clarity, and real-world wisdom.
💛 Thank you to everyone who shares. This is what SHE IS AI is all about.
