WELCOME TO
CHISEL
We work on the emergent intersections of design, technology and well-being to improve the psychological impact of everyday tech. We employ HCI research methods to inform our design decisions to increase their efficacy in the local context.
Research Themes
Inclusion
Our “design for all” approach aims to explore ways in which every individual can access technology, especially those belonging to under-represented and marginalized communities
Well-being
We research and design socio-technical systems to support the mental well-being of individuals and communities.
Learning
We research and design innovative technologies to facilitate educational and learning practices
