Creating the Right Conversations
Why exactly I turned myself into a chatbot
The Situation
The usual proof mechanisms are broken for senior, cross-disciplinary creative leadership.
My most current work is locked behind NDAs, and traditional spec work misrepresents what I do and how I think. Meanwhile, LinkedIn and other conventional discovery layers optimize for specificity over creativity and adaptability.
The Brief
Since I can't show what I've shipped, I need a way to show how I think. And because bombarding LinkedIn with résumés is a fool's errand, I need a way to bring the game to me.
I need to attract the right conversations.
The Idea
Instead of showing you work I can't talk about, I built a space we can talk in.
That space happens to be a weird interactive room, coded (poorly) in three.js. Each wall provides a way of getting to know me and how I think. The environment also offers the flexibility for me to redecorate as desired over time.
- Conversations
An eerie chatbot that answers questions about me and my experience, prompted to stay as close to my actual tone as possible.
- Case study wall
I hope you know that's where you currently are.
- Contact wall
Because as I'm a little light on content currently (thanks a lot, NDAs), I thought I could pretty up a contact CTA for my minimum viable product.
- Artwork wall
An installation prototype rather than client work, showcasing a range of abilities including: data expression, systems thinking, conceptual storytelling, writing, coding, digital fabrication, wiring, AI video generation, and more.
Who This Is For
This experience is for people who are comfortable with ambiguity and who like to collaborate based on thinking, strategy, and a good story.
It probably won't appeal to people who arrive hoping to neatly check off a list or who are looking for a friendly carousel of shiny deliverables.
Results
A working prototype that does exactly what it was designed to do: create better conversations with the right people. Metrics to come.
