Andrew Rowley
Design Engineer
I design and build interfaces that make complex software feel clear, responsive, and easy to use.
Currently exploring what that means when software can think, decide, and act on its own.
Selected Work
MenuNook
A focused online menu maker for businesses that want something simpler than a website, POS, or ecommerce platform.
Interfaces about nothing.

Interface Playground
I use this space to explore how interfaces help people understand what's happening, make decisions, and stay in control, especially as AI changes the technological landscape.
Patient Conflict Review
When AI surfaces a conflict, finding it is only the first step. The harder part is helping someone understand what changed, weigh the evidence, and make the right call.
This experiment explores that handoff through a scenario where AI detects a conflict in patient information and brings a human in to review and resolve it.
To make the decision as clear as possible, the interface states the conflict for easy understanding, draws attention to the conflicting data, adapts the call to action and next step based on the decision being made, and carries that decision and its context into the case activity for understanding of which actions were taken by AI and which were taken by the user.

"No known drug allergies.""Penicillin — rash"Autonomy Watch
Autonomous robots generate a constant stream of status, task, confidence, and activity data. The challenge is deciding what deserves attention and presenting it in a way that feels useful rather than overwhelming.
This experiment explores what a monitoring surface for that kind of system could look like: keeping the fleet understandable at a glance while making it easy to focus on one robot, inspect its current state, and see the signals behind its behavior.
The interface uses hierarchy, changing status, confidence indicators, activity history, and intervention states to explore how complex autonomy can be made easier to read—especially when something starts moving outside the expected pattern.
