ABOUT US
Mutable Studio is an AI and Knowledge Design research practice encompassing experience and innovation strategies with two branches:
The community group of 600+ individuals dedicated to research practices in participatory design around AI (also known as "Feminist.AI”)
A consultancy for innovation strategy and experience design for AI, ML, and other emerging technologies from a cultural perspective
In our design approach, we examine cultural assumptions and unwanted bias embedded in the hardware, software and systems - producing more thoughtful, transparent, and equitable products and experiences.
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to inspire innovation in the emerging technology space through the equitable design of AI products and experiences.
WHAT WE DO
Our community research and education projects inform our consultancy and product development.
AI Innovation Consulting
At our innovation consultancy, we promote culture specific approaches to strategy, design and development of AI experiences and products. We have worked with tech and design firms, city innovation labs, healthcare industries, and academic institutions.
Our deliverables include:
Corporate workshops
Research / Strategy presentations
Design-As-Research specialized prototypes
Specialized design tools/toolkits for AI systems (focusing on culture and bias)
Interface design for voice, gesture and sentiment through the forms of chatbots, smart devices, wearables, and other prototypes
White Papers
AI / XR Design
Specialized hardware
Product Development
We believe that equitable approaches to research and design inform product development, and may ultimately create more interesting and inclusive products. Rather than simply focus on developing one product, we design for the larger eco-system which informs multiple products.
