Okay, I have to share this because it's been a total game-changer for my client meetings lately.
As a consultant, you know the drill: you're in a discovery call or a strategy session, and you need to visualize a concept *right then*. Maybe it's a quick flowchart, a dashboard wireframe, or a social post idea. Before, I'd fumble with a whiteboard tool or scribble in a notebook and promise to "send something polished later." Not anymore.
I've been using Recraft to build client-branded assets **live** during the meeting. Here's my quick workflow:
* I have a few key client brand elements pre-loaded (their logo, primary brand colors, font names). I set these up before the call in a dedicated "client" style.
* When we brainstorm a new process, I switch to "vector" mode and draft a clean, simple flowchart using *their* colors.
* If we're talking about a report concept, I might use the "illustration" or "3D icon" styles to mock up a dashboard component.
* I share my screen while I'm doing it. The client sees their brand come to life instantly, and we can iterate together. It turns abstract talk into a tangible, co-created asset.
The magic is that the output is already on-brand and usable. I can export the vector or PNG right after the call and drop it into the follow-up deck or document immediately. No more "I'll make it pretty later" — it's already done.
It feels less like a design tool and more like a real-time visual thinking partner. Has anyone else tried using Recraft in this kind of live, collaborative way? I'm curious what styles or features you find most effective for client-facing work.
