Patient Conflict Review
When AI surfaces a conflict, finding it is only the first step. The harder part is helping someone understand what changed, weigh the evidence, and make the right call.
This experiment explores that handoff through a scenario where AI detects a conflict in patient information and brings a human in to review and resolve it.
To make the decision as clear as possible, the interface states the conflict for easy understanding, draws attention to the conflicting data, adapts the call to action and next step based on the decision being made, and carries that decision and its context into the case activity for understanding of which actions were taken by AI and which were taken by the user.

Autonomy Watch
Autonomous robots generate a constant stream of status, task, confidence, and activity data. The challenge is deciding what deserves attention and presenting it in a way that feels useful rather than overwhelming.
This experiment explores what a monitoring surface for that kind of system could look like: keeping the fleet understandable at a glance while making it easy to focus on one robot, inspect its current state, and see the signals behind its behavior.
The interface uses hierarchy, changing status, confidence indicators, activity history, and intervention states to explore how complex autonomy can be made easier to read—especially when something starts moving outside the expected pattern.
The Waitlist Island
In The Chinese Restaurant (S2E11) of Seinfeld, Jerry, Elaine, and George stop for dinner before a movie. They're told the wait will be “five, ten minutes.”
What follows is a string of missed signals, parties seated ahead of them, and a mangled name.
In the end, their table becomes ready, but not before they leave the restaurant in frustration.
This interactive waitlist brings some of that absurdity into an interface inspired by Apple's Dynamic Island.
I hope you enjoy playing with it.

Elaine's Soup Card
In The Soup Nazi (S7E6) of Seinfeld, we meet a local business owner who treats buying his soup as a privilege. His strict rules around ordering earn him an infamous nickname.
He serves the best soup in town, but you have to follow a rigid ordering routine. One misstep, and it might be "No soup for you!"
This interactive membership card imagines what that kind of system might look like if someone actually bothered to formalize it, featuring his greatest nemesis: Elaine.
It turns the shop's ridiculous rules into a piece of equally ridiculous bureaucracy that shows just how close Elaine is to getting banned.
I hope you enjoy playing with it.
