Welcome

I’ve always been fascinated by how people find information.

Before I worked in AI and UX, I spent years as a librarian helping people navigate complicated systems—government services, academic research, digital databases, and everything in between. But what interested me most wasn’t just finding answers. It was about figuring out how to communicate complex information in ways that were clear, user-friendly, and accessible.

People learn in different ways. Systems that make sense to experts can be confusing to everyone else. I’ve always enjoyed the challenge of translating complicated ideas into formats that are easier to understand and navigate, so more people can actually use them.

In many ways, that same challenge exists in today’s AI systems. AI can generate remarkable amounts of information, but the real question is how to design interactions, prompts, and experiences that help people actually make sense of what those systems produce.

Today, I work with AI systems that are trying to do something similar: help people ask better questions, discover useful information, and navigate complex problems.

This blog is my small lab for exploring those ideas.

On this blog, I’ll run experiments with AI—testing prompts, building small agents, designing recommendation systems, and exploring how AI can be made more thoughtful, more helpful, and sometimes just more interesting.

Some experiments will be practical.
Some will be unusual.
Some may fail entirely.

That’s part of the process.

Many of these experiments are inspired by things I enjoy—especially horror books and films, which I’ve long found fascinating for the psychology behind them. Fear is complex, and the ways people respond to it are often deeply personal.

It becomes even more interesting when you try to design AI systems that respond to those differences in human preference.

Along the way, I’ll document what I learn and share the artifacts that emerge from these experiments—prompts, frameworks, workflows, and tools that others can try or adapt.

You can think of this blog as a working notebook for exploring AI, human behavior, and the systems that connect them.

If you enjoy exploring new ideas, experimenting with AI, or simply seeing how someone else approaches these questions, you’re welcome to follow along.

The first experiment begins in the next post.

It involves horror stories, reader psychology, and the question of whether an AI can learn to recommend the right kind of fear.
