Building tools for civic life, fair work, and digital memory, quietly designed to keep people in control.
Most technology is built to capture attention, automate judgment, and compress people into data. My work explores the opposite: tools that slow decisions down, reveal hidden assumptions, and keep the human in control.
I use AI, interface design, and rapid prototyping to turn ethical questions into working systems.
Bias-aware hiring analysis and inclusive job description rewriting.
Hiring language can exclude qualified people before they are even considered.
A prototype that reviews job descriptions, identifies exclusionary patterns, and suggests more inclusive alternatives.
Hiring tools should support fairness without pretending AI can replace judgment.
Interested in this kind of work? I'm looking for responsible AI, UX/product, and creative technology roles.
Contact KarimProduction work for studios, makers, educators, and clinicians. Restrained interfaces, considered typography, durable systems — designed to read as quietly in five years as they do today.
A clinical-grade web system for an open-source bionic-hand initiative.
An editorial platform connecting students, mentors, and STEM resources.
An online studio for a Dutch ceramicist — quiet, tactile, archival.
An artist portfolio built as a quiet, editorial reading room.
Beyond speculative AI work, these are the systems I've shipped for clients — real briefs, real users, real stakes. Each was a conversation about restraint as much as design.
Commission A System→Test how one rule bends across different human contexts.
Every rule looks neutral on paper. In practice, it lands differently depending on who you are — your age, your background, your access to time and money, the language you speak at home. I built this tool because the products I care about — hiring, civic services, healthcare, finance — keep treating that asymmetry as an edge case instead of the design problem.
Drop a policy in and watch it refract through several human contexts at once. The point isn't to optimise anyone out — it's to make the trade-offs visible before they reach a real person. Responsibility, for me, means designing with the people most affected already in the room.
This is a design reflection tool, not legal advice or an automated fairness audit. Complex inclusion decisions demand true human context.
A small practice that helps people and teams ship considered work — from responsible AI systems to client websites. Open to junior roles, collaborations, and selected briefs.
For teams building AI products where fairness, transparency, or trust matters.
For early-stage ideas that need a clearer story, a tighter flow, or a working prototype.
For makers, studios, and small organizations who want a website that reads as quietly in five years as it does today.
For exhibitions, research projects, and personal work that benefits from a careful interface treatment.
For projects involving AI ethics, public-interest technology, civic information, or reflective tools.
If you're working on something that needs care — in how it looks, how it behaves, or how it treats the people using it — I'd like to hear about it.
Every note is read personally. Nothing automated, nothing scored — just a reply from me when there's something to say.
I use machine intelligence as an organizational tool, never as a decision-maker. Technology helps identify patterns. Humans decide.
Intelligence handles the sorting, never the selection.
Humans decide.
Zero automated rejections. Your work is seen by a human.
I'm Karim, an AI researcher and creative technologist based in the Netherlands. I build responsible AI systems that combine strategic product thinking, ethical rigor, and high-polish interface design. My work focuses on domains where the interface carries moral weight: hiring intelligence, civic infrastructure, crisis awareness, and human-AI communication.
Currently open to junior responsible AI roles, creative technology positions, and entry-level product collaborations.
Foundations — AI studies, interface experiments, and early creative systems.
Direction — Responsible AI, civic technology, fair work, and human-centered product design.
Soft Signal — A portfolio of working prototypes where ethical questions become interfaces.
All communications are routed directly to the studio core. We encrypt intents before evaluation.
Algorithmic assistance is always governed by human oversight.
Zero engagement-hacking. No dark patterns or artificial urgency.
Local-first bias. No ad tracking. No secondary data markets.
