Overview
As You Are is an experimental project exploring identity and interaction through generative AI, built rapidly using Figma Make. It's a departure from my strategy and business work, a space to explore human-computer interaction and creative technology on its own terms.
Problem
Most generative AI interfaces treat identity as a static input. I wanted to explore what an interface feels like when it treats identity as something fluid, generated, and responsive to interaction in real time.
Solution
Using Figma Make as a rapid-prototyping environment, I designed and iterated on an interactive experience where generative AI shapes the interface in response to user input, prioritizing feel and interaction design over production-grade engineering.
My Role
Sole designer and builder. I handled concept, interaction design, prototyping, and iteration end to end.
Process
- 01
Concept
Defined the identity/interaction premise and constraints for the experience.
- 02
Workflow design
Set up a rapid iteration loop inside Figma Make to test interaction concepts quickly.
- 03
Prototyping
Built interactive prototypes exploring generative responses to user input.
- 04
Design decisions
Iterated on pacing, feedback, and visual language based on how the interaction felt in practice.

Type
“This project is deliberately outside my usual strategy lane, it keeps me honest that good product thinking still has to survive contact with a real, felt interaction.”
