HUMANE

DIGITAL PRODUCT DESIGN FOR THE NEW AGE OF AI
2023 - 2025



INTERNSHIP  |  FULL-TIME

As an intern on the Software Design team, I worked on several UI flows for Humane’s Ai Pin Laser Ink Display. Collaborating with engineers and software designers, I helped sculpt a magical Out of Box Experience in preparation for Humane’s 2023 Launch. I also designed and prototyped a unique visual experience for tracking nutrition on the Ai Pin’s Laser Ink Display.





1. UNDERSTANDING THE LASER INK DISPLAY

Thinking about how to design for the human hand, a completely new interface. And with a laser. Total challenge, to be legible and clear and as simple as possible, while still being fun and interactive. 






2. IDENTIFYING USER NEEDS

Designing a nutrition tracking experience was particularly challenging, as we needed to be mindful of how our messaging would be perceived. To better understand user needs, I conducted an internal survey, which helped refine the feature set.






3. SKETCHING

Animations were a key aspect of these interactions. They had to be clear, and joyful. Halfway through the process, the interaction model changed from tap, to a tilt-and-roll motion of the palm. It was as if rolling a ball on your palm would influence which button was focused on. This led me to prototype a pie-chart design that would fill will gumballs, and respond to the user’s palm.

4. OUT IN THE WORLD

The final assets were packaged and later featured in the Ai Pin Launch Video, on the Humane website, and in various social media content.







I concluded my internship with a successful final presentation. I am endlessly thankful for my fellow interns and all the colleagues I collaborated with and learnt so much from.
