Human AI Creative Studio
Thoughts on designing systems where artificial intelligence supports, augments, and adapts to human needs. Running experiments, testing prototypes, and sharing what we learn.
Read the lab notesHuman-Computer Interaction is the study of how people engage with technology. At HCI Design Lab, we extend this to Human-AI experiences, designing systems where artificial intelligence supports, augments, and adapts to human needs, creating interactions that are intuitive, inclusive, and genuinely empowering.

Every serious AI deployment ends with the same safety clause: a human reviews the output. That clause assumes the reviewer's expertise is a fixed quantity. Forty years of automation research, and now the first clinical evidence, say it is not.
Most design systems treat accessibility as something you can measure on the visual surface, a contrast ratio here, a labeled component there. The failures that keep the web inaccessible live in the interaction layer those systems never specify.
The DHS Trusted Tester method was designed for people. When you replace the person with an AI, the procedure survives, but the judgment does not transfer. What breaks, and where, turns out to be more instructive than what works.
