Figma Personality Test — Exploring AI-Powered App Building

Figma Personality Test — Exploring AI-Powered App Building

Overview of the Project

A playful hackathon project built using Figma Make, Figma’s new AI tool for app development. Instead of creating something overly complicated, I chose a simple and fun idea to test what Figma Make can really do, turning prompts into a working app while keeping the focus on creativity.

Overview of the Project

TokyoTreat, Yumetwins, Sakuraco, and NoMakeNoLife are subscription-based services offering curated Japanese snack and lifestyle boxes. One of the key challenges we faced was a high churn rate of 7% for our monthly subscriptions. A significant reason for this was that customers felt they were not getting enough value for what they were paying. To address this, we introduced a gamified streak and loyalty program designed to enhance customer engagement and retention.

Cheerful, energetic, and always looking on the bright side—literally. You believe white space solves everything, you own more pastel sticky notes than any human needs, and your future's so bright, it needs a light UI.

You can spot a 1px misalignment across the room, and it haunts your dreams. Kernings keep you awake at night, rulers are your love language, and you secretly judge anyone who says "good enough."

Adaptable and chill, you're the "whatever works" person in the room. Your apps switch with the sun, your vibe changes with the project, and you've mastered the art of never overthinking a setting. Flexible ≠ indecisive (probably).

Mysterious, focused, and just a little dramatic. You thrive in sleek interfaces, moody palettes, and probably own at least one black hoodie. You pretend it's about "eye strain," but really, you just like looking cooler than the light mode folks.

Your Figma file is a jungle, but somehow everything works. You thrive in disorder, make magic from messy boards, and believe true creativity is born in the middle of 47 overlapping layers. People call it chaos—you call it "the process."

You live for grids, tokens, and naming conventions. Consistency is your north star, your components are cleaner than your kitchen, and you whisper "scalable" like a mantra. If it's not reusable, is it even real design?

Learnings & Other Notes

  • Resourcefulness is key: Utilizing existing assets, such as excess inventory, can add value without increasing costs.

  • Balance user needs with business goals: The best solutions align customer satisfaction with revenue growth.

  • Gamification drives engagement: A visually interactive and rewarding system fosters long-term retention.

  • Cross-brand strategy enhances visibility: Encouraging users to explore other products within the brand ecosystem improves customer lifetime value.

This initiative successfully turned a challenge into an opportunity, proving that strategic, resourceful design decisions can lead to both business and customer success.

Learnings & Other Notes

  • Instead of creating something overly complex, I chose a simple idea to focus on learning what Figma Make can really do.

  • Discovered how AI can accelerate prototyping while still leaving room for creative control.

  • All design assets and characters were originally created in Figma, built specifically for this project.

  • Reinforced the idea that experimentation > perfection — small, focused projects are the best way to test new tools.
