  "title": "Surprise2Refine: Axis-Centered Exploration-To-Refinement for Agent-Assisted Creative Scaffolding",
  "summary": "Designers require different design spaces across creative stages: broad during exploration, and targeted during refinement. Yet existing agent-driven tools assume a fixed or continuously expanding space, leaving designers to manage and navigate it themselves. Informed by a formative study with five designers, we propose an axis-centered workflow that adaptively broadens and narrows the design space to support structured exploration and refinement. We implemented this workflow in Surprise2Refine,",
