We present a case study of using generative user interfaces, or ``vibe coding,'' a method leveraging large language models (LLMs) for generating code via natural language prompts, to support rapid prototyping in user-centered design (UCD).…
User experience (UX) has undergone a revolution in collaborative practices, due to tools that enable quick feedback and continuous collaboration with a varied team across a design's lifecycle. However, it is unclear how this shift in…
Increasing evidence suggests that many deployed AI systems do not sufficiently support end-user interaction and information needs. Engaging end-users in the design of these systems can reveal user needs and expectations, yet effective ways…
Online innovation communities allow for a search for novel solutions within a design space bounded by constraints. Past research has focused on the effect of creative constraints on individual projects, but less is known about how…
A pervasive design issue of AI systems is their explainability--how to provide appropriate information to help users understand the AI. The technical field of explainable AI (XAI) has produced a rich toolbox of techniques. Designers are now…
Artificial intelligence (AI) presents new challenges for the user experience (UX) of products and services. Recently, practitioner-facing resources and design guidelines have become available to ease some of these challenges. However,…
Divergent thinking in the ideation stage of creative problem-solving demands that individuals explore a broad design space. Yet this exploration rarely follows a neat, linear sequence; problem-solvers constantly shift among searching,…
Recent advancements in artificial intelligence, such as computer vision and deep learning, have led to the emergence of numerous generative AI platforms, particularly for image generation. However, the application of AI-generated image…
We present a graphical, node-based system through which users can visually chain generative AI models for creative tasks. Research in the area of chaining LLMs has found that while chaining provides transparency, controllability and…
Generative AI (GenAI) is transforming the creativity process. However, as presented in this paper, GenAI encounters "narrow creativity" barriers. We observe that both humans and GenAI focus on limited subsets of the design space. We…
As generative AI (GenAI) systems become increasingly proficient at simulating human-like and well-reasoned text, users may attribute authority to AI outputs, shaping how they engage with writing and reasoning tasks. While prior work has…
UX practitioners (UXPs) face novel challenges when working with and communicating artificial intelligence (AI) as a design material. We explore how UXPs communicate AI concepts when given hands-on experience training and experimenting with…
This paper presents a grounded theory-analysis based on a qualitative study of professional interaction designers (n=20) with a focus on how they use tools to manage design ideas. Idea management can be understood as a subcategory of the…
Generative AI has enabled novice designers to quickly create professional-looking visual representations for product concepts. However, novices have limited domain knowledge that could constrain their ability to write prompts that…
With recent advancements in the capabilities of Text-to-Image (T2I) AI models, product designers have begun experimenting with them in their work. However, T2I models struggle to interpret abstract language and the current user experience…
User interface (UI) personalization can improve usability and user experience. However, current systems offer limited opportunities for customization, and third-party solutions often require significant effort and technical skills beyond…
In automated UI design generation, a key challenge is the lack of support for iterative processes, as most systems focus solely on end-to-end output. This stems from limited capabilities in interpreting design intent and a lack of…
In the study of Human-Computer Interaction, privacy is often seen as a core issue, and it has been explored directly in connection with User Interface (UI) and User Experience (UX) design. We systematically investigate the key…
Our study of 20 knowledge workers revealed a common challenge: the difficulty of synthesizing unstructured information scattered across multiple platforms to make informed decisions. Drawing on their vision of an ideal knowledge synthesis…
Professional designers work from client briefs that specify goals and constraints but often lack concrete design details. Translating these abstract requirements into visual designs poses a central challenge, yet existing tools address…
