Dr. Heekyoung Jung

With a background in Human-Computer Interaction and design, my work explores how emerging technologies shape human experience, creativity, and learning. Drawing on reflective and speculative design, I create experiential prototypes and scenarios that situate technology within human and social contexts, often to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration and critical reflection on the values, tensions and lived experiences they produce. Through involvement with CHaT, I’m interested in extending these approaches toward “doing philosophy through design,” rethinking tools, skills, labor, and authorship in creative practice with AI across embodied, cognitive, economic, and ecological systems.

I currently develop hands-on curriculum modules and speculative toolkits for critical AI literacy in college- and postgraduate-level design education. Through storytelling and learning-by-making, this work aims to render AI more accessible and imaginable for creative practitioners beyond technology-driven narratives. More broadly, I investigate human-machine co-creation by framing creative practice as a shared human and more-than-human endeavor and exploring the future of creativity and learning with AI through participatory, practice-based approaches.
