Mind Palette:
Emotional Regulation through the Creative Process with AI
Mind Palette is an AI-assisted emotional regulation app that offers accessible and enjoyable therapeutic features through verbal and visual expression, based on ACT and CBT.
I developed working prototypes, conversational user experiences, AI algorithms, and workflows, and conducted an IRB-approved HCI experiment with 24 youth in the U.S., as well as a workshop with 6 children in India. Both studies showed statistically significant improvement in emotional regulation after using the tool, and I am preparing a paper on these findings.

Main Features
These are the main screens of “Mind Palette.” To understand the entire interaction and journey, please watch the demo video.
1. Emotion Check-in
Depending on the user's emotion, the tone and suggestions of the AI will be changed.
2. Appreciating art
The AI art therapist asks users about their personal feelings about colors or shapes, making it easy for users to describe their emotions or current state.
3. Creating art
The AI art therapist asks users to draw their dreams, and feelings, based on art therapy. Users discuss their drawings with the AI, explaining their choices.
4. Reframing (CBT)
Users can get AI advice to make their drawings more positive using CBT, either by self-editing or requesting AI creativity.
