We are especially interested in how digital experiences, rooted in personal informatics, data physicalization, and experience design, can empower individuals and communities to reflect, grow, and connect.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe that technology must be designed with care: grounded in human experience, ethical responsibility, and social relevance. The lab serves as a collaborative space that bridges design, HCI, and the social sciences to address complex social challenges through thoughtful and inclusive innovation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n    \n
