We actively explore and build next-gen interactions - AI, voice interfaces (especially Indic languages), AR/VR, and multimodal systems to define tomorrow’s user experiences.
Gain hands-on experience across the innovation lifecycle – from initial R&D and concept validation to building functional prototypes and potentially launching MVPs.
Join a melting pot of designers, developers, and creative technologists. Collaborate closely with skilled AI engineers, motion artists, and product mentors - and learn through real, hands-on creation.
We champion our contributors – receive public credit and recognition for your work on our platforms and potential product launches.
Our lab moves ideas from research to reality—quickly prototyping, testing with real users, and launching tangible products that demonstrate true innovation.
We’re looking for ambitious students and self-taught beginners who are passionate about creating bold, innovative experiences. If you're just starting your journey - and you're eager to collaborate, learn, and grow - this is where you’ll thrive.
Curious about user insights, testing, and product thinking? This is your chance to dive deep into real problems and shape how people interact with future-first solutions.
Skilled in visuals, animation, or micro-interactions? Bring your creativity into the lab and design with purpose — not just polish.
Excited to code, prototype, and bring ideas to life? Work with designers and builders to craft interactive, experimental, and meaningful systems.
This lab isn’t just about building cool things — it’s about transforming how you think, collaborate, and grow as a creator.
Work on real challenges with real constraints - not mock assignments. You’ll create meaningful work that belongs in a portfolio, not just a presentation.
Get close, consistent feedback from both design mentors and technical experts. Grow your core strengths and gain cross-functional insight.
Be part of the full product journey - from brief and research to build, launch, and reflection. You’ll learn what it really takes to bring an idea to life.
The lab is just the beginning. Top contributors may be considered for full-time roles, or long-term collaborations with the Tcules team and its ecosystem.
Explore and work with AI tools, emerging interface models, and new patterns of interaction. Understand how design and engineering are evolving - by being inside the process.
You’re not here to shadow or observe. You’re here to create, collaborate, and ship work that matters. This is your contributor journey at FIL:
Join a live challenge with real constraints — not a make-believe prompt. You’ll tackle design problems that actually need solving.
Whether you're a visual designer, motion artist, interaction thinker, or code-savvy creative — you’ll lead with your strengths from day one.
Collaborate with other contributors, developers, and mentors. Think together. Build together.
Final output gets documented, credited, and may be published or submitted to design awards.
Building a voice-based learning tool that speaks the languages people actually use - starting with Gujarati.

Applications for the first cycle of the Future Interfaces Lab are open.
It’s designed to help us understand how you think, solve, and create. Through the challenge, we’ll get a sense of:
How you approach open-ended problems
How you use visuals, motion, or interaction to tell a story
What strengths you bring to a cross-functional team
We’re selecting 8–10 contributors only for this cycle. Make it count.
Go through the context, constraints, and deliverables
Use the tools and style you’re most confident in — we’re evaluating creativity and clarity, not tool expertise
Share your files and a short write-up before [insert deadline]
We’ve got answers. If it’s not covered here, feel free to reach out.
FIL is for early-stage designers, visual thinkers, motion explorers, and creative technologists whether you’re self-taught, in school, or just starting out professionally. If you love turning ideas into interfaces, this is your space.
Having a portfolio is preferred. We will consider the challenge as your main portfolio. We care more about how you think and solve than what you've done before.
Yes. If you're selected to join the lab, you’ll receive a monthly stipend during your time at FIL. This isn’t unpaid labor - you’ll be compensated for your contribution as a creator in the lab.
FIL is an in-person program based at the Tcules Design Studio in Ahmedabad. You’ll be working shoulder-to-shoulder with fellow contributors, design leads, and engineers — collaborating in real time, in the same space.
Our team reviews all submissions carefully. If selected, we’ll reach out for a short conversation. Final selections are based on creativity, clarity of thinking, and alignment with the lab’s goals.
You’ll take on live product challenges - think AI-led UX, motion-forward storytelling, low-resource UI systems, and regional-first interactions. These are real projects, not training exercises.
Yes. Every contributor’s work is credited, documented, and may be published, showcased, or submitted to design awards. Visibility and ownership are built into the lab experience.
