Using KolAi [Laser Designer] allows us to achieve our goal of making laser designs look real and look like what designers want to see on a finished garment.– Bill Curtin, Owner of BPD Wash House
Before KolAi, I make a vintage design in 7 or 8 hours, but after KolAi I just take the picture, upload and retouch a little bit… it’s easy.– Erhan Arslan, Laser Designer & Laser Department Manager at National Jeans Company (SFI)
I’m excited by this technology because it’s time-consuming to use Photoshop and with KolAi we can easily produce 10 different designs a day.– David Johnson, Laundry Manager for Guess Jeans USA
How Does Laser Designer Work?
STEP 1: Upload image of target garment and crop it out
STEP 2: Clean blemishes using suite of editing tools

A bit of Everything
KolAi was founded in 2021 with a singular purpose: Create software tools that makes the denim development and manufacturing process easier, more accessible and faster. Since then we have developed one core software product, patented our AI technology, and launched a web-based interface (KolAi Designer) to make our tool available worldwide...
But really, KolAi Designer has been a long time in the making.Kyle and Aydin first met in 2015, at a laundry that was adjacent to the offices of 7 For All Mankind. Kyle was there as part of a presentation on innovation for the 7FAM leadership team. Aydin was head of laser development at the laundry.By this time, Aydin already had 15+ years of experience in the denim laser industry. He started his career with Laser Systems Technology – one of the first laser companies in the world focusing on apparel – building and fixing the lasers. But, as a naturally creative person, he gradually transitioned to creating laser designs for denim.Kyle didn’t know it at the time, but he would spend the better part of the next 5 years learning about and innovating with laser denim design. He worked for Lee and Wrangler Jeans on transformational innovation and helped develop new applications for laser, including denim finishing designed to visually contour the body – the “Body Optix” line that became popular for Lee in Asia – like makeup is used to contour the face.Jack and Kyle met in graduate school (both are PhD’s in cognitive science) and Jack ended up working for VF Corporation on data analytics and shopper insights. He ran huge, multi-store experiments for Vans and The North Face and became well acquainted with big data and machine learning.Working so much at laundries with laser designers, Kyle saw how slow and painstaking the process could be and thought there must be a way artificial intelligence could be used to speed things up. He kicked around ideas with Aydin and Jack (and other colleagues) for years, but it wasn’t until 2021 that they put in a concerted effort to build something and KolAi was born.After more than a year of work, we built a tool fusing Aydin's laser design experience with the latest advances in machine learning and we are proud of our final product.Contact us if you'd like to try it out.
