Roya Montgomery is a product designer and design engineer who builds AI systems where the interface is the trust layer. Her work focuses on helping humans develop calibrated mental models of what AI systems can and cannot do, in domains where miscalibration causes real harm.
She is particularly interested in how the design of AI systems shapes human cognition; interfaces that help people remain thoughtful, curious, and independent thinkers while using increasingly capable machine intelligence.
She enjoys running marathons, shooting film photography, and writing about AI and human cognition at slowsignal.ai

Cognitive Cartography
What you read shapes how you think. I built a system that measures and develops the cognitive capabilities humans need to work effectively with AI through reading material.
Decision Surface
JPMorgan branch banker enterprise tools, rebuilt from the inside. Years of layered complexity into a workspace that matches how real decisions get made
