Light by Wonder (LXW): AI process design + discovery studio

let us be your guide.

Light by Wonder (LXW) is a process design + discovery studio.

we help people + organizations meaningfully weave AI into their everyday work.

We're living through a period of rapid change.

Recent advancements in AI present massive opportunities for growth, learning + new ideas, alongside real risks to safety, privacy + security.

This moment requires a deep rethink of every way we operate.

Our goal is to become your strategic partner, illuminating the way through complexity + the unknown.

what we do

We apply 25 years of design + technology experience to prototype ideas that uncover hidden opportunities.

Whether you are an individual or an organization, we:

  • guide you through the rapidly changing landscape of AI tools + workflows
  • identify key areas in your work to explore
  • rapidly create proof-of-concepts to test what AI can + can’t do in your specific domain
  • design workflows that plug into how you already work

Light by Wonder (LXW) maps how your team already works across the apps + data you rely on, from Slack + Notion to Google Drive + Salesforce. We audit those workflows to find where time is lost, where errors happen + where AI can help, then prototype one fix in a limited scope + measure its impact. When it works, we connect it to your existing tools, automate the manual steps between them + train your team to run it, with documentation that stays with you.
