Kiely D is more than a digital character. He’s a creative alter ego—built to push boundaries, spark curiosity, and explore new possibilities. The twist? He was brought to life entirely with AI.
The birth of Kiely D
Joseph Kiely always wanted to develop cool, fun, attitude-filled 3D characters. But traditional 3D workflows were too cumbersome.
With AI tools like MidJourney and ChatGPT, he could finally bring his idea to life, with total creative control.
Who is Kiely D?
Kiely D is Joseph’s (Kiely Design) alter ego. The wilder side. He chases llamas through the Andes, jumps out of planes, gets tattoos, piercings, and buys way too many sneakers. He does the things Joseph might not—or maybe just won’t admit to.
- Loves design and storytelling
- Trend-savvy and always down to try a new look
- Sees the world through a designer’s eye
- Not just a character, but a point of view, a voice, a brand tool
- Curious, confident, occasionally reckless — and always caffeinated
He’s the untethered version of Joseph, unleashed by AI.
From Idea to Reality
Kiely D came to life through Joseph’s exploration of what’s possible with AI. He used tools like ChatGPT to shape the mission and strategy, MidJourney to give the character form, and Adobe Express to bring it all together.
AI doesn’t do the work. It works with us. That’s the real shift.
The tools
- ChatGPT – for brand building, creative strategy, and prompt development
- MidJourney – to build the 3D character and his cast of friends
- AI Video Generation – a testing ground across different platforms
- Photoshop – for image editing, retouching, and design
- Adobe Express – for social media content, editing, animation, sound, and storytelling polish
Whats Next?
That’s part of the fun with a virtual influencer. Kiely D can pop up on Instagram pushing his point of view, play tour guide on Joseph’s global travels, or show off as a stylist with an unlimited budget.
One day he’s in Tokyo. The next, sipping espresso in Paris or knee-deep in sneakers. New cities. New collabs. New experiences.
Graphic Designer. Urban Artist. Global Style Seeker.
He’s always ready to explore — even when Joseph can’t. Whether he’s deep in client work or just not up for another flight, Kiely D keeps the story moving.
Why it Matters
Being able to unleash a creative’s vision without limits — that’s the power of AI. It’s a tool that turns vision into reality, communicates complex ideas, and helps democratize creativity.
Kiely D is proof that with vision, direction, and the right tools, AI can shape a brand, a persona — even a full digital influencer. From the ground up.
