Prism
AI / Creative Tools
Prism is a creative tool that uses AI to help storytellers generate, iterate, and refine visual narratives. The challenge was designing an interface that kept the human in control while leveraging AI for rapid ideation and variation.

Human-AI Collaboration
The central design challenge was balance: how do you give users the power of generative AI without making them feel like passengers? We designed a “steering wheel” metaphor — the AI suggests, the human directs.
Creative Workflow
The workflow follows a diverge-converge pattern: generate many options quickly, then curate and refine. The interface adapts its density based on which phase the user is in.
Compare the AI-generated draft against the human-refined output:

Human Refined
Prism — AI generates the starting point, humans refine the result
Interface Design
We used a canvas-based interface with floating panels, allowing creators to arrange their workspace around their content rather than the other way around.
