Relief AI - Sustainable Landscape Platform

How we won 7 global awards and reached VC interviews in 8 weeks?

Client: Rab Lab– An innovative platform specializing in AI + landscape design

Project Timeline: January 2024 – July 2024

VSDesign Role: User Research · Desktop UX/UI Design · Design System Development · AI Generation Logic and Prefab Module Design

Relief AI is a transformative platform for the landscape design industry, addressing the dual gaps homeowners face: the lack of professional design knowledge and the challenge of translating concepts into reality. By combining AI-powered design generation with prefab modular packages, the platform simplifies complex workflows, enabling users to effortlessly turn their garden aspirations into sustainable, buildable designs.

How Did We Help Relief AI Turn a Vision into an Award-Winning, VC-Ready AI Product in 8 Weeks?

Premium UX Template for Framer

This is what happens when design leads execution.

The founder needed a world-class MVP to pitch. We delivered not just a prototype—but a new industry vision, with product, visuals, and AI logic in place.

Design was the product.

We didn't wait for code. We prototyped the entire platform with interactive UI, AI logic simulation, 3D modeling, and immersive visual storytelling—enough to demo to VCs, partners, and users.

No fluff. Real traction.

The design product we built won IF, MUSE, IDA, DIA, C2A, and NY Product Awards—not for concept art, but for real interaction flows and system logic.

Project background

Traditional landscape design is often perceived as inaccessible due to high costs, long timelines, and opaque processes. Research shows that 62% of homeowners opt for DIY gardens, yet most struggle with communication gaps, design misalignment, and implementation challenges.


Relief AI bridges these knowledge gaps with a user-centric platform that integrates AI design generation and prefab solutions, democratizing sustainable landscape design and making it accessible to everyone.

Core Problem
