Gamified AI Companions in Period Apps: Engagement or Addiction?
Flo has launched an AI companion. Drawing on my research on AI predictions and gamified self-care apps, I explore the risks of overreliance and addiction in period tracking apps.
Human-AI Interaction (HAI) concerns how humans and AI interact, collaborate, and are entangled.
The difference between Human-Centered AI and People-Centered AI?
When I studied for my master's degree in Human-Centered AI (HCAI) at the University of Gothenburg, we learned that HCAI was made popular largely by Ben Shneiderman's book as a framework and approach for designing and developing AI that serves…
What Is Human-AI Reflection? AI as a Mirror
With AI tools such as ChatGPT and Claude, we can now use AI as a reflective partner in our self-reflection. AI can serve as a mirror - what I call Human-AI Reflection. In this article, I explain what Human-AI Reflection…
Design Fiction to Explore the Future of AI Reflections
I am intrigued by the idea of using design fiction to explore how we should design AI reflection tools for the future. I want to explore how AI could affect our journaling and self-reflection practices. Will we use AI as…
Using AI for Self-Reflection: Benefits, Risks, and How to Get Started
Can you use ChatGPT or Claude for self-reflection and mental health support? Explore the benefits, risks, and practical tips for using AI as a journaling and mental well-being tool.
Caring Research in Human-AI Interaction: Why Ethics in Tech Design Matters
Why I study human-AI interaction — exploring tech addiction, social media harms, AI dependency, and the case for care research in HCI.
What is Human-AI Collaboration?
Human-AI collaboration is about how humans and AI can work together to achieve goals. For example, instead of using AI to replace humans in a workflow, we can leverage AI to automate repetitive tasks, as a co-creator, or to make…
The future of UI Design with AI – How can designers keep up with AI?
With the rise of Generative AI tools such as Figma Make, Lovable, and other prompt-to-design tools, the future of UI designers might change. In this article, we're going to look at what the future for UI designers will be in…
What is Human-AI Interaction?
Human-AI Interaction is a field that examines how humans use, interact with, and are affected by AI. From these insights, we can formulate practical design guidelines for developing new AI-based products and features, guide and inform new regulations and laws…
What is Figma MCP? | The Future of Designer-Developer Handoff
Figma recently introduced its MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, enabling two-way connections between Figma files and agentic code agents such as Cursor and Claude Code. This enables easier workflows between design and development. It's still a new thing, though, and…
How can Generative AI be used in Product Design: The best tools, workflows & insight from research | 2026
Explore AI tools for product design in 2026. Research-backed insights and practical tips for Figma Make, Claude Code, Cursor, and experimental workflows from a design lecturer.
What is Human-AI Entanglement? A Guide to Fourth Wave HCI and Agential Realism
As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly woven into our daily lives through self-tracking apps, digital assistants, and personalized recommendations, we need new frameworks to understand this relationship. Human-AI entanglement is a concept rooted in Karen Barad's agential realism and Fourth Wave…
How Generative AI is Revolutionizing Design Workflows
The rise of generative AI tools, like Figma Make, transforms design into "Vibe Designing," paralleling "Vibe Coding." Using natural language prompts, designers create prototypes and iterate through AI assistance or manual edits. While fostering creativity and efficiency, challenges include design fixations, generic outcomes, and the risk of diminishing critical skills in designers.
(2024) How useful is Generative AI for Creative Work?
In this article, I'm presenting generative AI works I did for a course in AI and Design—Concepts and Methods, that focused on generative AI tools for image generation, 3D AI generation, AI Video Generation, using LLMs as a design method, and…
