She is also the founder of the Design Ethics and Visual Integrity Research Lab.With over 20 years of experience in commercial design and more than a decade in design education and research, her creative works have received over 80 international awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, iF Design Award, Graphis Gold Award, A’Design Award, and Spark Design Award.

Dr. Winstanley’s research focuses on design ethics, cross-disciplinary creative responsibility, and visual integrity, exploring how design can foster trust, accountability, and ethical practice—particularly in the era of Artificial Intelligence.
【Abstract】
Visual plagiarism is one of the central challenges in art and design education, raising questions about originality, authorship, and ethical responsibility.With the rapid development of Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen AI), the boundaries of image production, reuse, and attribution have become increasingly blurred, presenting new ethical dilemmas for educators and creators alike.Drawing from her forthcoming book, A Guide to Addressing Visual Plagiarism: Ethical Insights for Artists and Designers in an AI World, Dr. Winstanley will examine the evolving forms and ethical implications of visual plagiarism and discuss controversies surrounding deepfake imagery, dataset exploitation, and the erosion of creative authorship.
Through real-world cases and critical analysis, the lecture invites participants to reconsider how visual integrity can be redefined as a cornerstone of sustainable and responsible creative practice in the age of AI.
