SixStar

A fully custom interactive quiz with a generative art system, web design, and scoring logic built from concept to functioning prototype.
Challenge
SixStar started as a question: Why do most personality and creative-type tools force you into one fixed label, when most creative people are actually a blend of several? I'd researched personality testing tools and liked the idea behind them, but the framework kept isolating one facet of a person, maker, thinker, innovator, rather than reflecting the layered profile most creatives actually have. My challenge was to design something that could hold that complexity without becoming confusing or academic.
The Solution
SixStar is a six-trait quiz that scores you across Exploration, Motivation, Adaptation, Energy, Ambition, and Position, generating a unique six-letter code that's entirely your own. That code drives a generative art system, a personal constellation built from your specific blend of traits, so the output isn't a static label but something visual, ownable, and genuinely unique to you. I also built the entire visual language around that idea, dark, cosmic, expansive, because a constellation felt like the right metaphor for a creative identity that's made of many points connecting rather than one fixed type.

Deliverables
- UX research book and competitor analysis
- Quiz mechanic and scoring system design
- Creative Coding and Generative art system design
- Full visual identity and brand world
- End-to-end UI design and prototyping
Outcomes
A working concept that turned an abstract frustration into a real, testable product. SixStar went on to receive a Highly Commended distinction at the Frost Design Prize and a Merit at the AGDA Design Awards, recognition that the idea held up beyond my own conviction in it. More than that, it became proof to myself that I could take a personal question all the way from a critique of an existing tool to a fully resolved, original system of my own.
