Human ↔ AI
Making AI Legible
Investigating how interfaces can help people understand, question, and meaningfully control intelligent systems.
Designing thoughtful
relationships between
people and technology.
I’m Cheng, an Interaction Design student at ArtCenter exploring human-AI interaction, creative technology, and emerging interactive systems.

Work in progress,
questions worth pursuing.
Three areas I’m beginning to investigate through research, prototyping, and experimentation. This archive will grow as the work develops.
Body · Space · Signal
Beyond the Screen
Exploring how physical inputs, space, and responsive media can make digital interactions feel more embodied and intuitive.
Observe · Synthesize · Respond
Technology in Context
A research-led investigation into how emerging technologies reshape everyday behavior, expectations, and decision-making.
02 / Profile
Curious about what technology does with people, not only what it does for them.
I’m studying Interaction Design at ArtCenter College of Design. My practice sits between design research, interactive prototyping, and creative technology.
I’m interested in the moments where new technology becomes difficult, ambiguous, or unfamiliar. Through research and prototyping, I look for ways to make those relationships clearer, more humane, and more useful.
Currently, I’m exploring human-AI interaction, physical computing, and accessibility while developing my research-led design practice.
